Great product

This was really nice - I don't know if it actually made a difference, but it felt really nice on my face and is a good product.

I had oddly great results with this. It made my pores look less like craters after application. The effect isn’t permanent obviously (not possible to shrink pore size with cosmetics) but I am hoping to increase the longevity by using it more often. It also isn’t sticky or irritating and my skin just looks a bit more snatched which I really love.

Smells kinda funny and leaves my skin feeling sticky.

This serum has a thick consistency but it absorbs well without leaving a tacky residue. The scent is subtle, and the formula does not irritate my sensitive combination skin. For daytime, I apply this serum after cleansing and toner, then follow up with moisturizer and SPF. I noticed after a few weeks of use that my pores do appear more refined and my skin looks and feels smoother even without makeup.

As pointed out by another reviewer, this product contains a concerning ingredient: Tetradecyl Aminobutyroylvalylaminobutyric Urea Trifluoroacetate. This compound belongs to a class of substances known as "forever chemicals."These chemicals have garnered significant attention and raised concerns due to their persistence in the environment and their potential harmful effects. While the FDA has currently assessed that the low levels of these chemicals found in cosmetics are unlikely to be harmful, higher concentrations have been linked to increased risks of cancer and other health problems. So the decision on whether to use is an individual one. For me although this is a great product that does what it says io can not justify the risks to my personal health and the damage to the environment.

First- this is well-packaged and sealed, as one would expect (although this doesn't always happen.)It's a pretty small bottle, but thankfully you don't need a lot of product to feel the effects- which are fairly immediate. At least short-term effects. I haven't noticed long-term effects yet.In the short term, it absorbs fast and has a very, very light scent (which is good because I'm not quite sure how to describe what it smells like, but I'm not super into it..) My skin doesn't feel sticky after this, but it DOES feel tighter. Again, kinda expected from a pore-shrinking serum.I use this right before my daily moisturizer/sunscreen and I'm happy.
