Beauty Product Review: Honey, it shrunk my pores. GoodSkin Labs Pore 365 All Over Pore Reducing Serum
Goodskin Labs 5/01/2014
I do hear many ladies complaining of enlarged pore size over the last few years. Although I am considered fortunate to be one that does not face much of the enlarged pore issue, I cannot guarantee that it will still stay the same as I age. I am however plagued by pigmentation, freckles and some occasional acne outbreaks and a super duper sensitive skin if you haven't known by now.
So...what causes an enlarged pore?
Our skin goes through a natural shedding process called desquamation until we reach our 30s. Our pores have to expand to accommodate these excess dead skin, oils and debris that sits on its surface, and gets trapped in the enlarged pores.
When we are young, our skin sheds these excess build up easily so we do not encounter clogged or enlarged pores but from age 30 onwards, this renewal process slows down with the shedding process gradually. The usage of foundation and make up will worsen this situation.

Having said that, like pigmentation issues, some people inherit it in their genes. We are not going to give up just yet. There are some products and treatments in the market that helps you reduce your pore size if you care to read on.
Pore-365 All Over Pore Reducing Serum by GoodSkin Labs is one of them and I am going to introduce it to you.

My Thoughts:
I find this product a little oily to my liking and I feel that I would like it better if it incorporates some floral scent into it, minus the sweet scent. Like the facial firming serum, it has a similar strong smell which faded away but shouldn't pose an issue since I will be using my other moisturizer after applying this serum. As it is already quite oily, I would recommend a small amount and a lighter moisturizer.
I would not be able to justify the reduction in pore size as I have no instrument to test my skin upon usage and I do not have ultra enlarged pores in the first place. I do however, find that this is a pleasant to use and handy to carry along product.
Thanks for reading!
Till then....pores out!
