CLARINS Smooth Perfecting Touch

I've used a lot of pore blurring products! It doesn't completely remove pores, but it's easy to use because it doesn't dry out the skin and makes it smooth (^^) However, the container is a bit difficult to use.

Before this, I was using Addiction's balm. Addiction's balm also blurs pores and I had no problems with it, but I wanted to try something else, so I bought this. First of all, I thought it was tiny compared to Addiction's. I use a small amount where I want to blur pores. It spreads easily and blends in well. It leaves a smooth finish. It doesn't clash with my makeup and doesn't flake off. It doesn't completely eliminate pores, but it does blur them. Because of my job, I have to wear a mask, and even when I put on my makeup after wearing a mask, my foundation doesn't get stuck in my pores and it looks great.

I had high expectations after reading the reviews. I've used pore-filling products from Saint Laurent, Cledo, All Hours, and Laura Mercier, but this one isn't significantly better than them. It's just about the same. That's why I won't be repurchasing this one, which comes in a jar that's difficult to use. It does a good job of hiding pores, reducing shine, and not drying out the skin, so I have no complaints about it as a product.

My pores only became blurred, but they never disappeared. It was no different from what I had been using up until then.

This was included in a kit I bought at Beauty Day last year. I hadn't looked at it much and hadn't used it for a while, but after hearing good reviews, I gave it a try and it was perfect for me, who is concerned about pores. It doesn't completely hide them up close, but when I move it a little further away in the mirror, it feels smooth. It's smooth and matte, but doesn't feel drying—just right. I'm quite concerned about my pores, and I didn't want to use these types of primers because I felt like they'd fill in my pores and make them even larger, making them difficult to remove properly. But this product has completely changed that thought. A little goes a long way, and I plan to buy the full version once I run out. I'm surprised it was released in 2006. It's been around for 20 years. Clarins is amazing.
