This really does work. I saw a huge difference and it felt really nice.

I'm currently using 01 Invisible Light, which is the best match for my fair, neutral/warm skintone. I prefer this product to some of the other pink coloured pore minimiser products on the market such as La Prairie 'Rose Illusion' and Clarins 'Instant Smooth Perfecting Touch'. I think the Clinique product is slightly more mousse-like in texture and less like it is chock-full of silicones. I pat it in sparingly (after i have applied my foundation or tinted moisturiser) around my nose where i have some enlarged pores and voilą! immediately they become almost invisible to the naked eye. I do have to touch up during the day but this is not a hassle since the tube is small enough to fit in my make-up bag (although it is hardly the most glamorous of items to carry around!). I definately think that this product significantly improves the appearance of my pores and is the best cosmetic solution I have come across so far, particularly for small problem areas. I have not experienced any clogging of pores or break-outs since using Clinique Pore Minimizer Instant Perfector.

PS - This is my first review for MUA despite the fact that i have loved this site for a couple of years now and I consult it before making most of my beauty purchases! I definately take note where there are consistent raves or negative comments about a product and I am generally guided by this (except when the lemming in me takes over and I truly, *have* to have the item in question!). However, my comments are totally subjective and i think that what works for me may not work for another girl. I would like to share my thoughts though and hopefully they will be of use to some other people.

This is an OK product. It definitly minimizes the look of the pores on my nose, but doesn't do as well a job on my cheeks. It mattifies as soon as I put it on, and I don't start to feel oily for a couple of hours. Oddly enough, I never actually look oily.

Two thumbs up for this one! Someone mentioned that they didn't like the sample they received of this - I didn't either, and I am not sure if it was because I didn't apply it correctly, or I didn't know what it was....anyway, when I purchased this (based on the reviews of a few friends) I found that it worked great, applied either under or over makeup. I also find that it smooths out dry patches as well (fills in crackly areas the same way as pores). The tube is small and cute, and fits perfectly in my makeup bag! No one has really mentioned the cost, but I don't find that it is too expensive CAD$19.50, but a tube will go along way.

I love this product. It seems to work best for me if I use it after my foundation and powder. It keeps my skin shine-free, and fills in some large pores I have around my nose. If I wrinkle my nose my pores are still visible, but other than that this works wonderfully. I only have to use a small amount so the tube should last me awhile. I will definitely repurchase once I run out.

I received this product as a sample and used it but didn't really notice a difference well I found out I was applying it wrong. I recommend putting it over your makeup and then going over it with a cotton ball this helps blend it into those pores. I like it and I use it when I go out.

I will not be purchasing this product again as I did not see any difference as far as open/enlarged pores are concerned. It did have a good mattifying effect but lots of other products do that at a fraction of the price.

In general, I like Clinique products, and this is no exception. It does hide my big ugly pores, at least for awhile. I find I have to use a fair amount to get the effect I want, so I'll probably go through the tube quickly, which is why I gave 4 lippies, not 5. It does not make me break out, and it does not seem to give me blackheads. So, yes, I'll repurchase unless something better comes along.

Love this one - I wish I could find a cheaper version. I only use it on special ocasions, since it is a bit pricey. But love it. I have a huge hole on the side of my nose ( a scar from a very big balck head). I put this on and the huge hole is gone. Love it.
