Thanks to iFabbo I got to try out the Strivectin Advanced Retinol Pore Refiner. This little puppy claims to give you pores half their size! I have normal to dry skin so after reading about this daily pore reducing moisturizer-- and seeing as though I had just ran out of my drugstore moisturizer-- I decided to give it a try!

From the company's website:

Apply all over clean face in the AM and PM. Use as the last step in your skincare routine. Apply after sunscreen for an optimal mattifying effect.

What I really like about the Pore Refiner is that the tube is opaque so the ingredients, especially the retinol, won't degrade from light exposure. The pump is perfect because it allows you to control how much product you dispense (a full pump is too much in my opinion.)

I like to apply this at night by itself or during the day as the last step in my skincare routine. This is a great product if you want a mattifier. (Sometimes my boyfriend asked if I was wearing makeup when I wasn't.) It helps blur out your pores but I didn't see any significant shrinking of my pores. 

I have sensitive skin so I appreciate the fact that this didn't cause me to break out.

Over all I recommend this product for it's mattifying effects but I'm not convinced on the pore refining aspect of the product. I give it 4 stars also because it's kinda pricey at $99.
