As seen in Shop Etc. September ´04

Pore dilatation begins with faulty exfoliation of cells lining the interior sebaceous gland - cells are too sticky leading to microscopic plugs. Once formed, sebum accumulates. Protracted pooling of skin oils serves to both nourish bacteria (like P. acnes and S. dis) and ultimately leads to inflammation, and acne formation. Blackheads medically referred to as open comedones - are an all too common outcome. Plugs within the pores composed of sebum, cellular debris and bacteria congest the gland and expand the pore. Contact with air allows oxygenation to take place, turning the plugs black, further heightening visibility. Sebum Sequestering Micro-Particles soak up excess sebum produced by seba

Customer Reviews

Only thing minimized was my cash--I really wanted to like it
I hate writing negative reviews especially on a product of a company I believe in...HOWEVER...I thought this product was going to be my foundational Holy Grail. After re-reading several times the claims of what it is supposed to do and re-applying exactly as instructed, I saw absolutely no visible difference. Granted, my pore-problem is arrogantly non-severe and maybe I expected soap opera star skin but this did absolutely nothing for me--but the fragrance? did! It made me nauseous. Sorry to rant but to me it smells something like a mix between coppertone sunscreen and cheap deodorant. I rant yet again: the packaging: Pretty lavender metal cannister top but if it pulls away from the actual ribbed plastic liner---forgetaboutit...anyone who's pull the handle off of a nail polish applicator brush will completely relate. And finally...god forbid your dispenser valve clogs up--prepare to play dodge the spray when it sometimes decides to spurt. My personal best was a good three feet on the wall behind my vanity. I really really wanted to like this product but...not for me. Try it if you must, but I'll stick to Laura Mercier primer.

not worth the $$
I read a lot about this product before I purchased it, and I was sure I would love it. I've been using it for about a month and a half, and I have yet to see any remarkable results. I guess the pores around my nose are a little smaller, but that is a bit of a stretch. The product smells kind of funky, and tends to peel off when you apply another product on top of it (like a tinted moisturizer). I tried using less of the product and I still got the makeup peeling.

Check out the dermadoctor website before making a judgement based on the reviews here. A lot of people wrote glowing reviews of the product there, and there is a lot more information on the ingredients, etc.

Very Happy
Recent 'hormonal changes' have done a number on my skin. Since I've always had large pores and mediocre skin, I decided to try the Picture Porefect and the Wrinkle Revenge I cleanser. It took a few weeks (like four), but my skin has now stabilized with smaller-appearing pores and a much better appearance overall. It also cleared up (mild acne) on these products. At first it seemed drying, but then my skin seemed to get used to it and my skin is not dry seeming at all.

They're not the cheapest products, but you get what you pay for, and small amounts go a long way.

I note some older reviews make mention of a bad fragrance - perhaps DermaDoctor removed that fragrance since then, as I don't detect any smell whatsoever.
