PacificaBeauty Pore Warrior Booster Serum , 0.25 pounds

I am used to serums with high percentages of glycolic acid, retinol, and vitamin C, my skin is well-conditioned with very clean pores, and it is very rare for my skin to break out. When it has, the culprits have been either overly perfumed or out of date (spoiled) product. I have been a fan of Pacifica since my early college days, working a short time at a shop selling candles and incense (they started as a brand of natural essential oil fragrance candles), and to this day I use their colognes and body/hair sprays.So a couple weeks ago, I got this Pacifica brand "Pore Warrior" serum on sale for $10.40. For a brand celebrated for its fine fragrances, it was a bit of a surprise to find this serum to be odorless, but no matter, many serums are fragrance free and do the job intended. I have applied it to gently cleansed skin morning and night for over a week. Within a few days, my chin broke out in red and very itchy bumps, the kind associated with allergy--not a sign of my skin clearing of toxins--as mentioned, my skin has been well-maintained for a couple of decades, at least. I can only conclude that I got a bad bottle, or else it was a fluke, my skin responding to another allergen. To be fair, allergy season has sprung along with spring, and occasionally my immune system, though on suppressive treatment, can go a little haywire. As for results related to product claims: there has been no noticeable astringent effect on my pores, that is, no tightening. The serum does, however, 'mattify' any oily areas, so it might work out for anyone looking to control their 'T-zone' or any oily patches, especially as summer is coming! Hope this review is helpful, as for me, I continue on my quest to find a serum or any other product that actually works to tightens pores. Holy grail? Probably ;)

I like this serum the most, but unfortunately it does nothing for my oily skin in terms of keeping the oil at bay

This is the best product I have ever used in my whole life. My skin had many problems which I knew were because of lack of vitamins.My skin tone got darker under the sun very quickly, I had lots of freckles since childhood after the age of 7, in adulthood I started seeing under eye dark circles, and even dark areas around my mouth. I immediately saw improvement upon the first use. I use it at night after cleaning my skin, and use origins cream with spf during day.Results: my pores are small, skin is firm, looks even as if I used fillers, freckles are 80% gone and the rest is light in color, the dark lines under eyes and moth are 95% gone! I have only used it for a week.I think you should advertise this product better so people can benefit from it.Thank you so so so so so so so ♾ much!

Been dealing with congested pores, relentless breakouts, oily skin and raised bumps along myjaw and neck since the start of COVID. Using this diligently for the past 6 weeks, it's made a huge difference. If this progress continues as it has, I'll have perfectly clear skin in the next month. Incredible, definitely gonna buy again

I have oily prone skin and this product have been a life saver! I use it night and day and have noticed a huge difference in my large pores and oil production throughout the day! I use to have to blot and powder my face at least twice a day - NOT ANY MORE!!

Does what it says in the bottle! My skin looks so much better and it’s glowing only after two uses!

I usually buy this product in stores but everywhere has been sold out. It is $5 cheaper on Amazon than in stores. I will be buying it on here from now on. It is the best serum ever. My skin looks amazing with this combined with my minimalistic skin care routine. I love it. I bought two more and joined the subscription to get it delivered every two months. 10/10.

I added it to my face lotion and after letting it absorb, I noticed my face had a matte finish and looked more even. Makeup went on nicely. I haven’t used it long enough to know the longer term benefits but so far I will continue to use.

Love it. Skin feels amazing

Left skin looking greasy, it is shinier than it was before!
