Hi all ..

i have decided to invenst in good and branded skin care products for my skin as i do really have problem skin and i am just fed up trying and trying to find the right product for me so i thought why not invenst in something pricy but maybe worth it ..

So i came to know about this IDEALIST PORE MINIMIZING SKIN REFINISHER its like a really light gel and this creme which is called DAYWEAR PLUS ( Moisturiser)

I thought why not ask the ladies here who might have given those two products a try and what their experience was ..

So, please do share ...

Thank u ..

Tried the Pore Minimizing, didn't see a difference really. Tried it for about a month. I've realized that none of these pore minimizing serums will do the trick for me (tried a handful of samples); give the egg white mask a try. Some guppies rec it.

Sis has the Daywear lotion; she really likes it.

Hope this helps!

i actually got a sample from them of this pore minimizing gel and its only enough for abt ten days or so she said ... i feel kinda weird about going there again and asking for another sample as ten days aint really enough find out if a product is gonna work for u or to see any results ...

But theres one thing about this pore minimizing serum that it makes ur skin soooo smooth .. i luv that abt this serum

is it really? I heard so much about it....i thought i might give it a try but my nearest target was all out

boooo.

khushi - how long does it take to notice a difference with S&G?

the light blue bottle(pore minmizer) is for day wear ONLY and the dark brown bottle(night repair) is for night ONLY. You use both under your moisturizer.
Do not use them vice versa, it will have no effect at all.
If you use just one of them, it will not make a big difference as you expect to see.
One bottle costs like $63 so ya quite expensive, but you have to use them in combination for Day and Night only. Do not use the Idealist at night.

Yeh, i have been there yesterday to actually buy a face poweder and i asked that lady at the counter how much one bottle of that pore minimizing serum is which is 36 Pounds here ...

Honey*19, Kiehl's have a new pore cleansing range. Both the cleanser and lotion are made with amazonian white clay, which apparantley helps to reduce the appearance of pores. I've been using the cleanser for almost a month now and am quite happy with the results!

By the way, I also have my own blog where I review such products that I try if you are interested :-)

ur own blog is really not bad, just had a look at it ..

i couldnt go tru the whole thing, but is there a website for those kiehls products ??

skinnylatte · Oct 19th, 2009, 11:59 AM

thanks so much Honey*19! please feel free to subscribe for email updates when I post something new...

As for Kiehl's products, a limited range is sold on Space NK's website... But to be honest, its best to go to your local counter... that way u can look at everything, try out testers and just walk away with samples if u dont want to buy anything (they are super generous with their samples).

Is there a John Lewis near u?

Honey*19 · Oct 19th, 2009, 04:55 PM

^^ i am from the uk, i dun know if there is any around here to be honest ... just moved to london a year back

skinnylatte · Oct 19th, 2009, 08:07 PM

Then ur in the right place :-) check the John Lewis website for ur nearest store and you'll find all thing Kiehl's there.

I've been using EL's day wear plus moisturiser (the lotion for oily skin) for years and have to say it's the best. Really suits my skin, is full of antoixidants and is spf 15!

Lauder skin care is definitely very good though a little pricy, it works wonder. I personally think that I don't have huge pores to begin with but what Idealist does is amazing even if I am just applying it before my makeup. The smooth texture, I just love it.
As far as the moisturizers are, I love the pink one, Resilience Lift. I think it works a lot better than daywear. Daywear basically gives you good moisture but Resilience Lift protects/repairs your skin in the long term.
Re-Nutrive line is again extremely good but very very pricy.

ELauder foundation is very good
