My Opinion:

I've read so many positive reviews about this product claiming that it visibly reduces the size of the pores that I had to try it.

 

I've ordered this from skinstore.com and when I got it in the mail was really dissapointed, because the product wasn't sealed and the whole package was wet. I'd consider this to be an expensive product, and was really dissapointed with skinstore.com services, but since I live overseas it's really complicated for me to return a package and taking shipping cost into consideration I don't think it's worth returning.

 

I have oily skin so I've started by using this product every night and on the third day my skin was really irritated, so I've stopped using it and gave some time for my skin to recover and started by using it again 3 times per week, but my skin still irritated after using it. I am now using this once per week and finally my skin is not irritated, but so far pores size appears to be the same. I'll try to finish the tube and see what happens.
