The first week or two, it seems to work great. It didn't minimize the appearance of pores or actually reduce them, but it did seem to diminish the oil in the T-zone for a good portion of the day.I've been using this product religiously for probably two months now and have been really disappointed. After two weeks, my face seemed to produce more oil which this product couldn't even begin to control. My pores have not minimized even slightly, and it hasn't once actually decreased the appearance of them.It sounds like a good product in theory, but I'm very disappointed. I hope that others have had better experience. thanks for reading.
