Pore No More

In my ongoing quest to minimize my enlarged pores, how many products have I purchased? Let me count the way$. But I finally found something that diminished my pores and minimized my fine lines...a secret to flawless skin from the folks at StriVectin (yes, of stretch-mark turned anti-wrinkle fame).

All for 59.00 bucks.

StriVectin Overnight Facial Resurfacing Serum is a multi-tasking, renewal serum that works while you sleep to gently dissolve surface imperfections, minimize the appearance of large pores, even skin tone and improve the overall health of the skin for a smoother, younger-looking, more vibrant complexion.

Does it live up to promise?

Hell yes. I didn't even have to wait the 28 days advised by the Company - I saw visible improvement within 4 days.

StriVectin Overnight Facial Resurfacing Serum contains a unique combination of new enzyme activators, plant-based exfoliants, willowbark, and plant extract containing salicins - collectively dubbed TriActive Concentrate - which naturally and gradually convert to salicylic acid and allow for gentler exfoliation without irritation.  Whitonyl, a Red Algae extract rich in oligosaccharides brightens hyperpigmentation while evening skin tone. Other botanical brighteners, including Eijitsu Rose, a natural antioxidant that helps reduce the appearance of pores, removed my dull, dry flakes, smoothed my skin, and incredibly and visibly diminished my pores while brightening my skin. (As an added bonus, this elixir doesn't have harsh, irritating side effects, making it suitable for even the most sensitive skin.)

My skin looks luminous. Foundation free and under the scrutiny of a 5x magnifying mirror, my face looked near flawless.

Directions: Use nightly on cleansed skin. Apply 4 to 6 drops of this lightweight, leave-on serum to the face, concentrating on rough, flaky, sun-damaged areas. Wait 3 minutes before applying moisturizer or other skin treatment. This serum was uniquely designed to work synergistically with StriVectin SD Instant Facial Sculpting Cream or Neck Cream which work from the inside out to address deep wrinkles and firmness, while Overnight Facial Resurfacing Serum works from the outside in to address the surface signs of aging.

StriVectin Overnight Facial Resurfacing Serum (.9 fluid oz. / 25 ml) is available starting in October 2009 at Macy's, Bloomingdale’s, Lord & Taylor, select Saks Fifth Avenue, Ulta, and Sephora.com.
