I have been reading a few reviews on the Clinique Pore Refining Solutions Correcting Serum and wondered if anyone here has tried it yet?
It sounds like it works, but that that you have to use it daily to keep up the results.

Hi Annie,
I haven't used it, but I'm always on the look out for anything that would minimize my pores! I haven't had much luck thus far.

Is this new? I've never heard about this serum before. I like the Instant Pore Perfector from Clinique - years ago I recall a Clinique SA telling me that nothing can really correct the size of pores.

I am wanting to try a sample for sure but I might just pull the trigger if I can order it from Sephora. Then at least I can return it it i have a reaction or it doesn't work.
It did show before and after pics on the clinique website, but they aren't really that good.

I got the new pore refining solutions about a month ago and really like it. I use it daily under my makeup. Very Happy

Thanks, Lacy. Not sure about the price, but this might be worth a try for those of us "blessed" with visible pores!

Hi, usually I am not a big fan of Clinique skin care, this product pleasantly surprised me. Very Happy

That was my reaction, haven't used Clinique in years. But this one does have my interest peaked from all that I have read.
Any users find that if you stop using it within a day your skin goes back to normal? So this sounds like a temp fix, which would still be okay I guess.

Surprised I just happen to see this! Yes, to my surprise this really does work, not a fan of Clinque but I had a coupon. I do not give good reviews on skin products that offen. I have been using it about 6 weeks now and I don't have to use it as often as I did. I did have some purging of pores in the beginning, that told me it was doing something, I like the idea it corrects and not cover up the problem. I am 58 and my pores were very large and congested nothing seem to work, except this. It is pricey!

Ordered mine and got it in from Sephora. It is working! Not an overnight miracle but a gradual process.
I had a bit of purging too but now starting to see clearer and smaller pores.
I had read tons of reviews and was skeptical. But I knew with the great return policy of Sephora, if it didn't work I could return it. I will not have to, I am happy to say!

This product has contradicting reviews on Sephora and on Clinique website as well:

http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P282920


But one can just use Vodka with a similar success!

I was interested in this too. It felt really silky when I tested it on my hand but after reviewing the ingredient it doesn't really look special. The first few ingredients were: silicone, water, silicone and alcohol. About 1/2 way down the long list there is SA. I don't see how this would be better then any other SA product for clearing out your pores. We all know just because your pores are clean doesn't mean they will 'snap back into shape', this serum is just filling them in.

I had read reviews off Sephora, Clinique and several googled sites, blogs, etc.
I spent a day or two looking around before deciding to order.
It does work differantly on my skin as compared to other primers as that the others seem to spackle over and with this they actually do appear smaller. I have stuff coming to the top and drying up/flaking off.

I should have added that I notice the flakies and peelies happening, which are over my pores. When I slough it off the blackhead or pore is cleaned out.
It is helping since I am still waiting to get in my roaccutane and get my pores/skin back under control. So in the meantime....
I have VERY sensitive skin, which may be the differance as to why it works for some and not others.
