Create a canvas of flawless skin with Picture Porefect Pore Minimizing Solution.
Our new improved pump dispenser results in better control of contents.
While a pores physical diameter cannot be changed, Picture Porefect is proven to give superior results in helping pores appear smaller - removes excess skin oils, crops out blackheads and smoothes out edges. |  As seen in Shop Etc. September ยด04
| 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 Rating:      Summary: I see results Comment: This product has worked great for me. I have only been using it for a week, but so far I see results. My face is smoother and my pores seem to be smaller. I do agree that it does have an odor, but it seems to disappear immediately when it dries. I have had no problems with peeling or it being sticky, but I use a very little bit. Just one pump will cover my whole face. This is a plus since it is a little pricey.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Hmmmmm. Just might be worth it. Comment: First of all, let me say that this was actually a bad buy for me since I didn't realize that it had Retin-A in it (because of this, you really need to use an SPF in conjuction with this product) and Retin-A makes my face break out like someone hitting puberty. It's just not a good thing for me.
I'm Italian and I have the biggest pores all over and around the nose area.
Aside from the breakouts, I did notice a shrinking in the size of my pores. The most IMPORTANT thing to know about this product is that, in order to see results, you must use it TWICE A DAY, or you probably won't notice much, aside from the first time you use it.
The reason why I am in favor of this product, except for the horrible breakouts I had because of my freak-of-nature problem, is that my husband, who is not succeptable to breakouts, noticed an immediate differece in the tightning and size of his pores, as well as the smoothness in his skin.
This product really does work, just beware if you have any sensitivity to Retin-A, make sure you USE YOUR SUNSCREEN, and you really have to USE IT TWICE A DAY to see results. Make sure you go the full 8 weeks (I have no idea if one bottle lasts a full 8 weeks, so that's something you may want to find out)! I have heard that the product tends to pill when other things are applied on top of it. I didn't experience any of that, but it's something that you may want to be aware of.
Go to Sephora, ask for a sample, and see if you notice a difference the first time you use it. If you do, there's a good chance that it will work for you in the long run.
Customer Rating:      Summary: This really works! Comment: When I saw this product on the Dermadoctor website I was really excited to try it. It shows the photos of the clinical trials and how the pores reduced in size. I bought it even though it was expensive and I'm very glad I did. Right away I saw a difference the first time I used it. I've been using it for about 3 weeks now and have to say that I can't believe the difference it has made. A bunch of the pores that were enlarged have closed completely, and the ones that were very big have gotten smaller. I'm also using 10% glycolic pads that exfoliates my skin and so I believe that is why my results have been so good. If you have blackheads it will take longer to close the pores because they have to be clear before they can actually close up. It does work very well at removing the blackheads, but if you have a severe blackhead problem your better off going at it with a 2-step approach with the glycolic acid before applying. Especially if you want quick results.
Customer Rating:      Summary: I will not buy it again Comment: I bought this product with great hope because of the reviews rating. I had been using for one month now. But it does nothing to my pore. My pore is still large as it is.
Customer Rating:      Summary: This was disasterous Comment: I wanted to try something that minimized my pores. I purchased this and tried it. It made my acne worse, didn't do anything to reduce the size of my pores, and had a heavy, sticky feel. Thank you Amazon for allowing me to return it for a refund. DermaDoctor needs to go back to med school! Try Dr. Brandt's Pore minimizer instead.
