This product is okay, but not fabulous and I stopped using it in favour of better products. My issue was that although it did smooth the skin's appearance and reduce the appearance of pores when in use, it tended to flake off and was not compatible with any concealer or powder I tried to use with it. After being left with a face full of flakey/gel-like clumps of this stuff coming off my face I gave up on it. I now use Urban Decay's Complexion Primer and it is really awesome, with no flakiness problem. I think Avon's product is just not of a good enough quality. I even tried to switch to their product that has a tint built in, but I gave up on that as well. -

This is a great product that I use with or without make-up to even skin tone and reduce the appearance of pores. It is extremely effective and I find that at the end of the day my skin still looks fabulous without needing much touch up. I have problem skin, meaning I'm not one of those girls who looks like her skin is airbrushed. But when I use this product combined with L'Oreal's Skin Genesis pore minimizer and a dusting of mineral make-up (Bare Escentuals) my skin looks flawless and amazing. What I love about this is that I barely need any make-up to pull of a fresh and even look skin tone. One thing I have to point out is that these type of products are great when you're using them, but you can't expect that you will eventually have pore shrinkage. I don't know of any product that can reverse genetics. Any product that claims to permanently reduce pore size is lying. It's a temporary effect and needs to be used daily. Which is something I'm willing to do in order to pull off my faux fabulously-air-brushed-skin look. -

I bought this on sale at Shoppers (which is still a bit pricey considering their prices are NOT competitive). I have oily/combination skin and large pores with black heads on my nose, cheeks and chin. This product is amazing. It immediately smooths over pores and reduces their size. It also creates an even and smooth appearance. It can be a bit drying but I let it settle in for about 10 minutes and then top it with a lightweight moisturizer (DDF ultra-lite) and that seems to help. Because it came with a coupon in the box for $5 off my next purchase I immediately went out and bought another bottle while it was still on sale. FYI the bottle is only 30ml which is seems really small, but I've been using it for about a month now, morning and sometimes night. I also got the face wash that goes with it and I really like it. Compared to products I've tried at Sephora that are double the price, like Dr.Brandt's Pores No More, this product blows them out of the water for quality and price. I pair it with Urban Decay's Pore Primer which I can then wear without any foundation (amazing) for a flawess looking appearance. Love it. -
