Great at reducing pores
I have been using this product nightly for almost a month, and I’m beyond impressed. I had low expectations but I desperately wanted to do something about my pores and this product took care of that. Aside from minimizing the appearance of my pores, I notice my skin tone is significantly more even. The only side effect is slight purging the first 3 nights, but that quickly stopped.

Great for reducing pores
Really like this, like a lot. For starters, the spray is super duper ultra fine, therefore this will last FOREVER!!! I feel that it just makes my skin look more like an even canvas. Pores on nose are pretty much instantly reduced. I have acne prone skin and this does not cause any congestion. Will absolutely reorder when the time comes.

A glass of water for thirsty skin
I use this often for my thirsty skin. It is a great setting mist if used lightly. I use day and night. No smell and instant hydration
