The Body Shop Pore Perfector

This is essentially a serum which claims to unclog pores, reduce blemishes and reduce the appearance of dilated pores. That last bit is important. I don’t believe there is a serum on this planet that will actually shrink your pores. You pore size is dependent on your genetics and your skin type. Little know fact: they filmed the moon landings in my pores. No, really. Up close my face looks like a colander. It’s just my skin type and I’ve learned to live with it (with the help of a good primer!). 

You get 15ml in a dinky pump bottle for £10.00. It’s a cloudy gel and you only need a tiny amount to cover your whole face. I’ve been using it for about 6 weeks now and have used roughly a third of the bottle. It has a slight seaweed scent. Shocking I know. I leave it for a couple of minutes then apply my moisturiser over the top. 

Does it work? Yes actually! No one is more surprised by that outcome than me. No my pores haven’t shrunk but they are a lot clearer which has improved their appearance massively.  I still have the odd breakout but touch wood they seem to be less severe and less frequent. I’m looking forward to trying the rest of the range and I’m giving some serious thought to repurchasing it! X
