I had such high hopes for this product as I have enlarged pores that have been getting worse with age. I applied the product Monday night before bed. Tuesday afternoon, after the first use, I had felt that uncomfortable feeling on your face when a pimple is about to surface. I reapplied the gel again Tuesday evening. Wednesday morning I woke up to cystic acne breakouts. I discontinued use and the acne breakouts ceased. I do not recommend this for people with oily, sensitive skin that dehydrates with harsh products. For $100 this product is too expensive to even try out. Get a sample first or find something that has the same qualities and buy cheaper.
