Something that I have struggled with for quiet some time is the fact that have I have large pores. I believe they have gotten worse as I have aged. Maybe they are just more noticeable to me now. I really can’t be sure. Now, while I can conceal them with make up, I’d love to be able to make then less noticeable when I’m not wearing any. Enter StriVectin Advanced Retinol Pore Refiner Lotion.

The Review:
In a nutshell: My pores look great! Yes, they are still there, but look tighter and smaller. Let’s start from the beginning, I’m a fan of StriVectin products. I know I mentioned this in my last post, but I always wanted to give them a try, but the price point kept me away. As, the years have moved on I have realized that you get what you pay for and this is worth the price. This product is to be used on a clean face and applied in the A.M. and P.M. It should be the last step in your skincare routine and should be applied after sunscreen to achieve a mattifying effect. There is a slight scent to the lotion, but it does not linger nor is it overpowering in any way. I have been using the Advanced Retinol Pore Refiner for a few weeks now, inconsistently I might add, and I have seen results. I also like that it’s gentle enough not to cause my skin any irritation. My skin looks great with or without makeup. The product has all been hydrating. I always worry about my skin become dry and that hasn’t happened. I plan on continuing using this product as part of my skincare routine.

I like that this product has hydrating qualities. Winter in FL can be dry so I am always looking for moisture.
Jessica Harlow says
I’ve been lucky with my pores (so far) and don’t have too many that are really noticeable. But, as I get older I’ll be watching for that. I’ve heard great things about this product.
Christine Luken says
I wished this stuff was around when I was younger, as this was more of an issue for me back then!
Mama to 5 BLessings says
This sounds like a great product! I have large pores on my nose which creates a problem for me because dirt gets trapped so easily.
Tina @ My Highest Self says
Oh this sounds like it would be great for me. I’ve always had larger pores and as I age I think the issue gets more noticeable. Time to try Strivectin!

My skin is getting dry already- I need this!

I don’t mind a light scent either. My pores have never been as invisible as I would like.

Hydrating is a major plus especially during the fall/winter seasons. Retinol is great to have in any beauty routine.

This would be awesome for my skincare routine. Tightening up some of my pores would be nice.

I have used this product and really like it a lot. I noticed that it made my neck a lot smoother.
Amanda || Growing Up Madison says
I’ve used Strivectin in the past but couldn’t use it when I was outdoors because it would leave my face looking pale. I’d love to try this pore refiner though.
