I bought the whole Sebo Specific Line products when they were on sale. Well, this product does feels good when applied. It dry fast, non-sticky, and smell fresh at the same time. However, it did not do any of the things that it claimed. Even worse, I got more breakouts, larger pores, and drier skin. I stopped using this after 2 weeks and returned them.

After listening to my estetichian, I bought this moisturizer. She told me it is great for blemish type skin. Also the smell is amazing, and it feels great when applied. Not oily, dries fast, I liked the feeling. However, I did not notice any better improvements in my skin.. even oposite, I got some breakouts pretty often. So I stopped using this, will not purchase again, even if the price is good - only about $9 with a procedure at Yves Rocher salon.

I bought and use it for 4 days only, overall I'm kinda like it but I don't feel the difference yet, maybe because it's only 4 days.
My skin: Huge pore in nose area, normal skin for my cheek, a little bit oily on my forehead and chin. I have brown-spot due to sun burn, and few acne.
Pros:
1. Absorb nicely to my skin, very fast and leave it fresh without any stickiness. Usually, my face is kinda stubborn in order to absorb any kind of face moisturizer
2. Very affordable price
3. Natural ingredient
Cons:
1. Actually the smell is fine, not overwhelming, but I prefer something fragrance-free
2. Jar package makes me feel a bit unhygienic, and I need to buy a cream spatula rather than using my finger.
3. Not really give any different to my skin until the 4th day, let see later.
I will buy it again IF it gives me a result in a month. I give this cream a chance since I really happy I can found a product that not makes me feel sticky.
EDIT: 1 week already, and I think it really give me nothing buuuuuut.... larger pores, more clog pores, and some new acne, this cream also irritated my side nose skin.... gonna stop using it... :(
Need to find another cream

I used the whole program for some time at first my skin cleared up good, so I was so glad to find a good product for me but after a while the acne just came back and now its doing noting for me so I'm not going to by it again. I think my skin got used to it or something to bad really because I loved at first

I usually like the products of Yves Rocher but this didn't seem to do much for me. I used it as a nightcream and it did seem to reduce the visibility of my pores somewhat. Didn't reduce blemishes and oilyness though.

Been using this for a couple weeks now, and I have to say I too am underwhelmed by it. The main blemish fighting ingredients seem to be salicylic acid and zinc glucosate (sp?), but they are both relatively far down the ingredients list. I've recently started adding a drop of tea tree oil to it, which has helped its efficacy some, but I wouldn't repurchase. Bioderma, Vichy and Avene all make anti-imperfection creams with salicylic acid and zinc, and Bioderma in particular has the zinc much farther up the list. If you are interested in an anti-imperfection cream, I recommend one of those brands before Yves Rocher's.

I wanted to love this so badly! I stumbled upon Yves Rocher products by searching through moisterizer reviews and I saw the Pore Regulation moisterizer with raving reviews. When I arrived at the store...Surprise! No such moisterizer as Pore Regulation (it seems that they change their packaging often) but they had this one, which seemed like the closest. I admit I'm one of those suckers for advertising...and all those Awards listed on it sold me. Plus it was far cheaper ($16) compared to the H2O ($50) I've been using.
Here is how I arrived at my conclusion:
My skin: Disgustingly oily; as in let's use two oil sheets and soak them through at a time oily. But according to my aesthetician, very dehydrated as well. So looking for a lotion that's water based to control oil and provide hydration.
Price: Awesome. Yves Rocher has an umbelievable amount of deals online and in store, including giveaways with purchases, an amazing rewards program, etc. Items are almost always 50% off which is what I paid for the Moisterizer.
Sales Rep: Said that this moisturizer I can use both day and night. I was debating on the Matte one but she said that it might not be moisturizing enough at night time.
Packaging: I really don't mind jar packaging. I know people say it's unhygenic but I find that squeezing things out of tubes and watching residue crust over or swiping my finger over the tip over and over is just as unhygenic. My hands are always very clean after washing my face when I put on the lotion. Now the irritation I had with this jar is that the shape prevented me from being able to get at the last bits of it lest I scrape it with my nails, and I hate wasting.
Lotion: Had this gel cream texture that was light and lovely. A fresh cucumber smell that made me want to put it on my face.
What it did: Certainly not making my skin more beautiful as the packaging boldly claimed. I did not see my pores reducing either. No oil control either but I've never expected a miracle in that respect since I've never seen one moisturizer succeed at that.
Conclusion: Worked like a moisturizer. Good price. Hydrated reasonably well without oil prevention. Great texture and smell. Did not do any of the things that it claimed, which immediately takes off a lippy for loss of respect. I would have given it a four it didn't have all those promises to live up to. If I didn't have a better option, I would probably go back to this. Trying the Hydra Specific line next..
