We all have pores and we all likely want them to look smaller. And as much as we wish it were, layering on makeup isn’t the solution. In fact, some face makeup can make pores look more visible. So if we can’t permanently get rid of them, and we can’t always effectively camouflage them with makeup, what can we do to shrink the appearance of pores? It’s easier than you think.
Enter Dermalogica’s Micro Pore Mist ($22). The toner spray sold out not once, but twice last year. Now it’s back and it’s still packed with essential, dermatologist-approved ingredients that brighten skin, reduce redness and, yes, minimize pores.
There’s a good reason that face mists are one of the hottest beauty products right now. Who doesn’t enjoy a refreshing spritz on their skin during the sweltering summer? But Dermalogica’s Micro Pore Mist goes beyond any regular face mist thanks to its formula. Cucumber, a fruit that’s deeply hydrating and rich in antioxidants, refreshes and soothes skin on contact. Niacinamide, a form of vitamin B3, is an incredibly restorative active ingredient that does it all. Reduces inflammation? Check. Improves redness? Check. Erases wrinkles, increases skin cell turnover and shrinks the look of pores? Check, check, check. The inclusion of wild rosehips complex, abundant in vitamins A, C and E, fatty acids and antioxidants, doubles down on tightening pores, in addition to balancing excess oil and brightening the appearance of post-breakout scars.
One reviewer who says their pregnancy “came with a lot of acne,” reports their skin looks “so much better” after one week of using the Micro Pore Mist. A 30-something user also saw visible improvement within days. “After just a week of adding this product to my routine, the size of my pores has shrunk to an unbelievably tiny size to the point where they have gone unnoticeable.” Another fan, who admits she was doubtful a spray would really work, says their pores are “actually noticeably smaller” and their skin is “less oily throughout the day.” Yet another customer said the Micro Pore Mist “shrinks [their] pores” and “takes away the redness.”
For a truly foolproof way to shrink pores get the often-sold-out face mist that’s jam-packed with skincare benefits while you can. The Micro Pore Mist is available on Dermalogica.com.
