My Opinion:

I'm already 2/3 down my bottle, I guess I'll be able to provide a fair review on this product.

I've started using this right at the beginning of summer, and as you'll may be aware that I've got ginormous pores around my cheek area, and I've basically tried everything to visually reduce it, I've said visually, because I've already gave up the hope in permanently reducing my pores.

After applying this serum I find my face super smooth, and it does slightly reduce the size of my pores, but I did not see any permanent effect. Since this was a serum, I was expecting a bit more, but unfortunetly a silicone base primer does exactly the same thing.
