A Sephora associate suggested this to me as I complained about my severely oily skin. I'm not sure what she mixed it with but it lasted for a good six hours after I left the store. However, after bringing it home and applying under my foundation (MUFE HD) the next day it was a different story. My nose, cheeks and forehead was matte for a good two hours before it was an oil slick. I mean, literally soaking. through. blotting sheets. This product is much too expensive to work this way.

This is the only product I have ever returned to Sephora in my life! I am so disappointed with it! I am not one to return or give up on stuff, but this time...I did.
This stuff is greasy and feels heavy on my skin. It does not do much to minimize my pores. I have used many products, as I have very large pores, and this was sort of the worst of all things. I mean it wasn't absolutely disgusting. But it was not worth it. At all.
I have used Urban Decay's pore minimizing primer potion. It is great in terms of result, and isn't gross on, but can sometimes break me out. But I exchanged this Pores No More to go back to UD.
I don't know why, but Sephora sales associates love it. It is mediocre AT BEST. And it is crazy expansive. For nothing. I am willing to pay a lot for a product...if it knocks my socks off.
This would fall flat for $10. It is useless for $50.

On the fence with this one. As a kind of pore minimiser it is not particularly effective.
Yet on the plus side: performs a kind of primer action, which assists foundation adherence. That said, in performing this primer function it mimics a 'barrier' sensation on the skin since it never fully absorbs.
What's more, it's top-heavy in synthetic ingredients, so not inspiring for those who favour top-heavy botanical based products.

I have been using this product for at least three years every morning. It does mask pores to create a cleaner look and also does a great job at controlling shine throughout the day. Also works as a great primer for makeup. The smell is tea tree oil and it does go away within minutes (I forgot about it until I read a review). Cons: it is expensive (but lasts 2-3 months with daily use, and little bit goes a long way. Also, packaging is annoying-- they need packaging that prevents product waste at end of use (without having to cut it open!).
Overall, strong product, highly recommended for those with oily skin/ larger pores in need of concealing.

I used the "little bit of tint"-- not just a little tint, a lot for someone so pale. I was hoping it would give me a glow instead it gave me a mask. This is definitely not a treatment but just a cosmetic aesthetic product, a primer or even a foundation. I could see it really working for someone- it felt nice on my skin and it was very smoothing, but the second I washed it off it didn't change anything ( a little expensive for that). Unfortunately, with the outrageous tint, this just was not for me. And I don't think I'll be trying the one without it. Pale people beware!

I've been using Pores No More for about four years now and can't live without it.
I like the fact that I can reapply throughout the day and it doesn't give me any streaks and flakiness. I blends in well with my Bare Escentuals mineral foundation.
The price is not that bad, given the fact that you don't need much product to mask the pores.
Once applied in the morning, I'm matte for about 6 hrs.
Not bad.

I had such high hopes for this product. This did nothing more for me than a primer would. It didn't make my pores look much better and the worst part was the SMELL!! It smelled just like bug spray. This is going back.

I had the tinted version. This was a great product at first. It made my face look gorgeous! It does a great job filling in large pores and keeping a good bit of oil at bay. I got many compliments on my makeup because it helped my foundation stay on better and controlled the oil some.
3 weeks into using it I got 6 cystic pimples at the same time. Most on my jawline, one on my forehead, and one on my cheek! I know it was this product because this was the only thing that changed in my routine in a month. After all the years it took for me to get my skin clear, I am reluctant to try knew things. Case in point! Good product, but if you are acne prone beware!!!

I was looking to buy the small size of the Perfekt foundation but Sephora was out of it. So a Sephora SA recommended this instead. Honestly, I was not familiar with the brand and totally clueless about the reviews. So I tried it on my nose, liked it and bought it. I got the one with the HINT OF TINT. It is totally buildable to the extent that can cover flaws. It has been made for oily to combination skin and my skin is pretty oily. So I went home and applied it to my whole face and wore my favorite NYC Sunny bronzer on top and practically test drove it for 5 hours. Nothing happened, no shine, no grease and my skin remained as fresh as when it was applied. This very much reminded me of my 24-7 primer and Clinique's old Pore Perfector. The huge benefit to this product is that the coverage is buildable but not offensive or noticeable. Pores? Which pores? The tint is pretty much skin color that can adapt to your true skin tone. LOVE THIS AND HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT TO PEOPLE WITH OILY SKIN. I will update on longer hours of wearing this product.

This is an excellent product I often wear alone, under make-up, and over make-up. It has a great texture, blends nicely, and most important of all, fills in my massive nose pores. I have tried Benefit's POREfessional, Smashbox's Photofinish, and L'Oreal's Studio secrets, and found that they were either to greasy or didn't adequately fill in my pores.
Pores no More truly fills in my pores and as a result, I absolutely love it! Even on my most "no-make-up" days a bit of this boosts my complexion. While expensive, a little goes a long way, and I will definitely repurchase.

I would like to begin naming some of the products ive used as primers. i will admitt i do not have huge pores, or extremly oily skin but i do tend to get the typical t-zone shine around my nose and chin. (Remember ladies i live in miami where it is always hot humid) ok so primers; SmashBox, NARS,Dior,MUFE,GArmani,YSL,Benefit,MAC,Guerlain,Clarins,Tarte, Hourglass, Urban Decay, Cover FX, Laura Mercier,L'oreal, Korres, Tarantino. i think thats about it might be more but can't remember right now. all of them have either broken me out, irrated my ezcema, looked horrid, made my pores clog, or just itched! this is the only primer i can say has no negative effect on my skin, and actually works. my skin stays oil free and no breakouts, makeup last, and worth the money! i recently discovered Smashbox has something like this now, i tried it at the store but im hesitant since all other Smashbox primers have caused my skin to go crazy. i might grab a sample and compare but so far this product is the one for me!

I'm speaking to the Hint of tint product in the bronze package: With the intentions of eliminating makeup steps in the summer I thought I'd try a tinted moisturizer and thought "Great, it mattified too", but I was not expecting the results I had seen. It really does what it says and for my skin, has incredible lasting power. First of all the color was perfect for me and blended in very quickly-no drag or difficulties-this stuff stays put once you apply it and melts in. It provided medium coverage for me very easily. And after 10 hours I barely had a glow on my nose and I was in awe. NO blotting all day; no powder either. Wow. The only cons were the price for the small 1 oz you receive, however I am eliminating primer, foundation, and powder...even concealer some days with this. Regardless, bc of the mattifying properties, I ended up needing almost a dime sized amount of product to cover my face and jawbone area (I use much less with primer and foundation in comparison) which makes me think that I would run out more quickly than I would like. Overall, a very decent but pricier find for a summer product that I will be repurchasing.

I tried this product after a recommendation from a girl working at Sephora. Let me tell you, I did not like this at all!! The first time I put this on my face, I could feel the this made my skin worse. My pores on my nose and cheeks are larger then ever! I would not recommend this product and I ended up returning it.

gives you a very nice-silky feeling, looks nice if your skin isn't dry, otherwise will show all the imperfections - dry spots and flaky areas.

I got this for free so I'm not really sure how much it costs. This is a great product. It minimizes your pores and for me that is AWESOME! I have really large, embarassing pores, and this really helped. I will definitely give it a 5 because it does what it says. But I wouldn't buy it again because of personal preferences. What turns me off about this product is the texture. It feels like one of those cheap knock-off yoplait mousse snacks -->Sorry I don't know how else to describe it. I don't use it much because I feel like it's a little cakey under my foundation and powder and also because it has an orange tint to it. I feel like it dries out my skin also. continued >>

This really should be in the "Primer/Corrector" category because in no way is this a treatment, it's a primer. So if you are looking for a primer, keep reading. This is an amazing holy grail life changing product (ok maybe life changing is a stretch). I have good skin but some larger noticeable pores on my nose which drive me nuts. I have tried so many primers: Cargo Blu Ray, Clinique Pore Refiner, L'Oreal Studio Secrets, Too Faced, Smashbox, Mac Prep & Prime, MUFE, YSL Top Secrets and even Monistat chafing gel. Did I miss anything? You get the point, I've tried them all and this is the only one that has held up. I adore this. Its just a great mattifying primer, with a slight tea tree scent, It is slightly drying but that works for me. The only other primer that has even come close is Cargo Blu Ray. If they ever decide to discontinue this I will buy a closet full. continued >>

I received a sample of this and ran through the house exclaiming the wonders of this miraculous product. I have had problems w/ larger looking pores in the last few years of my late 30's and I couldn't find anything to make them disappear. Others recommended a Fraxil laser treatment. Not ready for that yet. Anyway, I put this on one side of my t-zone and showed everyone. My friends gasped as it simply looked like my pores disappeared. It was awesome! Since the sample, which lasted a long time and like the other reviewer mentioned, "I continued to beleive it was almost out" and it almost never was. Now I use it sparingly but I do love it over my foundation, which I like to use little of. Yes, it did have a darker tone/color to it but that disappeared into my skin (TG :--))

I've been waiting 7 months to write this review. That's how long this product has lasted me with relentless daily use since the night I brought it home.
I'm oily. Very, very oily. If I wash and moisturize and leave my skin bare, I'll be covered in a thin layer of oil in 20 minutes and a thick, greasy layer in an hour. I wanted a pore perfecting/oil controlling lotion/serum/cream of some sort, so I figured I would start on the higher-end of the spectrum and headed to Sephora. This kind of fell into my lap when I wandered into the empty skincare section. I tested it on one side of my face and felt as though my pores had inverted themselves...magically. I bought it right away regardless of the price ($45 USD for 1 oz.), and crossed my fingers it would help control the oil too.
Did I mention how oily I am? Okay, good. Based on the oily factor, this product is almost there for me...but not quite. After seeing it under the 10 or so foundations I own, on my bare skin, with moisturizing, without moisturizing, at night, outdoors, etc., I can confidently say it doesn't do much for pores if anything. Sephora's soft day bulbs seduced my imagination in that respect. But as far as controlling oil? It cuts my regular oil production down 25-50% (more on better days), and based on how psychotically oily I am, that's saying a lot. I'm convinced that anyone with combo/oily skin could go a day without blotting with this stuff. Using it got to the point where if I was away from home and realized I'd forgotten it, I felt helpless and would resort to maniacally pressing translucent powder into my foundation in vain.
The tube seemed to last forever. In its last month of life, it was sputtering out every last drop of product thanks to the highly efficient pump. Every day I would use it and think, this is it, this stuff is done...but it never was. Until it finally was. So the price is high but you don't need to use more than a pea-sized amount for your whole face. My $45 lasted me the better part of a year.
Even though I felt like I needed it to get through my day, I don't think it's the best thing out there, especially considering the price. Even though I really wanted to use it up, in those 7 months I dabbled with other, less expensive products and have been pleasantly surprised. Because of that, I'm positive I'll be able to find something else just as good in a reasonable price. So, I probably wouldn't buy it again. Kinda bums me out actually.

Keeps my face matt a while, but does not do anything for my pores. This is expencive! I use it prior to foundation. I find that it messes up the makeup if i put it on after my foundation.

"Pores no More"?
The name is appealing,now only if it delievered on the name.
I for one did not find that to be the case.
It is really just like spackle. It doesn't make your pores smaller or tighter. It just fills them in. And the product is noticeable on the skin even with a foundation. Even just applying a tiny amount I can see it on my skin. Which is not a good thing.
