What the gurus are saying

This serum genuinely shrinks pores after consistent use, delivering what most competitors never do. Gurus consistently report visible pore reduction (around 15-20% after three months), particularly on the nose and chin, and find it spreads easily without irritation or fragrance. The catch is patience: expect a month to six weeks before results show, and those with sensitive skin may want to ease in slowly, starting once or twice a week, since the combination of retinol, salicylic acid, and niacinamide is potent. The formula also calms acne-prone skin and works as a targeted spot treatment or all-over serum.

"It's pretty genius, actually. It's a smart combination for smoothing texture and minimizing the look of pores. The upside is simply convenience: that one bottle does the job. So if you're somebody who doesn't like a lot of steps or you just really want like the simplest skin care, this is the one. [...] With that many actives at once, if you have sensitive skin, you could want to introduce this really slow like once a week, increase to twice a week."

"The pore size serum I love because it's one of the few products that actually works. Many brands claim to help shrink [...] pores but none of them ever do. This actually did work for me. You do have to be consistent, using it twice a day morning and evening for a couple of months, and that's when you'll see results but they will come."

The FUTURE OF ANTI AGING - Ultimate Skincare Routine 2025

"I have struggled with this for years. Nothing's ever worked except this. This is the only product that's had a meaningful impact on my pores. I do just use it where I have the enlarged pores, which is on the nose and just the side here. It actually works. [...] I use so little, this lasts me literally forever. [...] That product by Remedy will take maybe like a month to six weeks to work. So set your expectations, but after a month or six weeks, you'll definitely see your pore size diminish."

"I use it daily, it's stunning. I don't really need to say much more than that, it's great. Genuinely works. Very few products will actually shrink your pores, that actually does.

#1 SERUM 2025 - Top 10 Serums Revealed

"I've tried a lot of products over the years to shrink the size of my pores, and none of them have done anything. Literally, all of them hot garbage until I reached for this. You can use this all over the face if you like, or you can use it in a targeted way. For me, I just use it on the nose and the edge, the side of the nose, too. And this really makes a difference. Be consistent. You'll need to use it every day for about a month before you start seeing those results."

"The brand says it's For Pore Size which is true but I think this also works really well on acne prone skin. It [...] can really help calm and soothe acne prone skin and can reduce the amount of acne you're getting. This is my claim coming from three clients who have used this product who are all three acne prone, one of them has a lot of acne. [...] I give this an 8 on 10. And if you've ever heard my ratings before you know an 8 on 10 is creme de la creme the best of the best."

"I pulled out the Remedy pore treatment. I want to make sure I say I'm not the one who really used this, it was gifted by the brand, and I just didn't feel like it fit into my routine that well. My partner loved it so much though, she still can't stop talking about the brand."

"So I like these products but I do ultimately feel a little confused, because [...] if you've watched Dr. Lee talk about the benefits of retinoids, it's odd that they'd put retinol into an all in one like this. Nonetheless these are good all in ones, especially if you are new to skincare, [...] these can be so worth it."

"But it is sinking into my skin really nicely. A lot of the hydrating serums I've tried lately just kind of sit on the surface of my skin, and this one is going right into it, completely absorbed. I am actually really impressed with that one. I think to absolutely nobody's surprise, I am just most impressed with the remedy serum. [...] My expectation was low, but my actual experience with it was way up here."

"It spreads easily, there's clearly no fragrance and no irritation to the skin. My initial impressions of this product are really great. It's thirty two dollars, so it's a little less expensive than [...] Remedy for Dark Spots [...] and really not out of reach for most people if you're going to get longevity out of the product."

"It's retinol plus salicylic acid 1% encapsulated and niacinamide. So it really is more of an all-in-one treatment for larger pores, sebaceous filaments and blackheads. [...] If you have more full-blown acne, I would say adapalene. If you get occasional breakouts, I would go with Remedy For Pore Size."
