Oily Skin’s Best Friend

To be honest, I have just started using this product a little over week ago. However, I’m happy to report that it does not take long to see results with this product at all! I have very oily skin that requires blotting three times a day. To give you an idea, I use about three sheets each time I blot. Yes, my skin is that oily! As a result, I normally experience quite a bit of pore congestion from the excess oil production. On the first day I used this product, I already noticed that I had to blot less. By today, it was already noon my time and I have not needed to blot yet! This product is supposed to train your skin to produce less oil over time and I’m absolutely thrilled that this is the case with my skin even after a week’s use!

I have been using this product in place of a moisturizer morning and night and it is enough moisture for me after a few serums applied underneath. The texture of this is slightly powdery in finish, which lends itself well to makeup application over the top. I love that this doubles as a primer for the days that I don’t have the time for that extra step or when traveling and you don’t want to bring a ton of products.

Not only has this product helped with controlling oil production, I have also seen less pore congestion due to the Salicylic Acid in the formulation. This ingredient is oil soluble and has the ability to clean out excess sebum within the pores. The Agaric Acid will help reduce pore size over time so I’m excited to see if this is the case with continued use. Overall, I’m super excited to see if this product will normalize my skin over time!

I have been using Bioderma for 4 years now, and honestly it has Never let me down!!! This is a Must have product for me because throughout the day my skin will feel so sticky an oily with makeup just sliding off my face!!! However NOT when I use my Bioderma!!! This formulation is the Best!! And I've tried Alot of other products which claim to do the same, yet Never live up to the Hipe!!! Bioderma, has honestly helped my pores look smaller and my skin feel so much softer!!! I Just LOVE IT!!! It is a Must product for me, and alittle goes a long way. Unfortunately my large pores run within our family so it's pretty difficult with our DNA, to actually hide them, but with this product I've noticed the Very First time I had used it 4 years ago that finally the search for a pore mimizer was Over!!! Now when I apply my makeup I'm Not worried about how long it will last on my face, and I'm not having to carry my whole makeup collection in my purse with me when I go out for the day because I know I'm safe!!! Bioderma has my back, (well has my face!) And for ALL of the people still out there looking for a way to minimize their large pores believe me this product is for you!!! It goes on so thin and you think well maybe this wont work because it is very lightweight and thin when applied. But trust me that's the benefit of this product, it doesnt build up under your makeup and make your foundation pill. This product keeps me shine free and soft also!!! So it honestly a WinWin!!!

Pores, what pores!

I used tol use the mat control moisturizer and loved it but wanted to focus more of pores. This moisturizer keeps my face shine free and blurs my pores. It really helps minimize them! I love Bioderma!

hmm..Maybe I need to revist

I was a teenager when I bought this, and..honestly I didn't see any 'pore refining effect. It did made my skin hydrated, but didn't do what it claims to.

After reading everyone else's reviews, I might want to revisit this again.

This stuff is so good! I use it along with the Bioderma Sébium H2O. It instantly gives my skin a matte-finish. It works well under make-up and helps control oil throughout the day! Bioderma as a brand overall never disappoints! Also, thanks so much Beautylish for carrying these products and for extremely speedy shipping and great customer service. Love ya.

Excellent! Highly Recommend

I've been using Bioderma Pore Refiner for a week and already notice a huge difference in my pores! I've searched forever for something to minimize them and finally found it! The best part is - it controls the oils of my VERY oily skin!! My skin is so soft!!! Will repurchase!!!

Perfect for oily skinned girls

This product is perfect for my combo/oily skin. It really does leave my skin with a velvety feel, fills in my pores and treats my skin all in one. My makeup goes on smoother and it makes my pores appear smaller. Love it!

The only thing that matters. . . Besides my baby and fur babies:-)

I have discovered this in 2015, and I have been foundation and face powder free since then! I use it at work (busy emergency room setting), on vacations (and just be naturally free), and on rare occasions (once in 6-9 months wherein I go on mommy night out) as a base for anything I put on my face!

Shine-free all day long and it has all the wonderful benefits bioderma has to offer in our skin!

Makes my skin feel smooth!

Got one for my sister and wanted to try it for myself because my skin is a bit rough. It really helps my skin feel smooth like a baby's! I would definitely get another one when I can! =)

No visible difference

I purchased this product because of the raving reviews, but I can't say I'm happy with my purchase. I used this for a week and did not see even the slightest difference in my skin. I have large pores all over my face, but my cheeks (directly beneath my eyes) are where my major pore problem exists. I've tried so many pore-refining products that I can tell pretty quickly whether or not a product will work for me, and I felt even after the first use that this product was just another gimmick. It does leave your skin feeling velvety, much like many other pore-refining primers. I don't feel like this product benefited my skin at all.
