Want to reduce the appearance of enlarged pores? I’m over here raising my hand high in the sky because large pores are the most frustrating thing for me to deal with when it comes to my skincare. However, since beginning to use the Strivectin Advanced Retinol Pore Refiner, I’ve noticed visible improvement. I haven’t used it long enough to give it a total thumbs up, but so far it’s working nicely. I use this as the last step in my skincare routine, even after my sunscreen. It’s worked nicely as an almost primer-like product. It mattifies my skin and it really does seem to help my pores not seem so obvious.
The Strivectin Advanced Retinol Pore Refiner is a daily resurfacing lotion that is also an anti-aging moisturizer. Not only will this help to instantly reduce the appearance of pores, but it will also help absorb excess oil, hydrate and smooth the skin. Even with my sensitive skin, this formula, which does include Retinol, hasn’t irritated my skin. (Retinol is said to help improve the skin’s natural cell turnover, which will help diminish pore size because it’s purifying and refining the skin tone and texture.) The Advance Retinol Pore Refiner features Strivectin’s Patented NIA-114™ technology which helps to nourish and strengthen the moisture barrier, which limits the sensitive issues you might have found with other Retinol products.
The Strivectin Advanced Retinol Pore Refiner retails for $99.00 and is 1.7 fl oz. The best part about this post? Would you want to win one? I’ve got an extra to giveaway!

I’m raising my hand, too!! Sometimes a solid foundation/clear skin is all you need to conquer the day. Where do you typically purchase this product? I would love to give it a try – thanks for sharing!
Theresa says
I will raise my hand as well! While most of my large pore issues are around my nose, I would love to try this! For me, the anti-aging part would be great for me. Anything to help slow that process!! $99.00 is a little steep for me, so winning is probably the only way I would be able to try this! Good luck to all that enter!! Thanks for the chance to win.

Great review, Christine! I’ve gotta do mine next week. I don’t have large pores but I love using this for the extra hit of retinol. Another wonderful product from StriVectin
Brandi Lynne says
Love your reviews!!!
Definitely sounds like a great product! My sister is a makeup/skin care junky, so she is always telling me what’s wrong with my makeup and face. Lol. One thing is how big my pores are. This started over a year ago. So I purchased a product in canada in October 2014. That did nothing-didn’t notice a reduction at all. This last spring I got at facial and the person doing the facial let me know that I have rosacea (spelling?). She then continued on saying I had large pores on my nose (ahhhh) and this was due to the rosacea and bacteria. Dang it! So then I spent a bunch of money on a sensitive skin care line that I felt didn’t do anything. Icing my face probably helped the best. I’d love to find a product that ACTUALLY works for reducing the appearance of pores! Definitely the reason I’d like to win!

I think the thing I hate most about my face are my pores. This sounds fabulous!
Stella says
This would be a great addition to what I use now! Aging isn’t for sissies! LOL! It is important to start early in life taking care of your skin, moisturizing especially! I have had many compliments on how great my skin looks for my “age”! What more can I say? Thanks Chris for all your reviews and information! Love it!

I was so excited to try this, but after using it daily for a week it made my skin super dry (mainly on my cheeks.) I stopped using it for now, but I might try to use it every other day…
Stacie Arker Hamilton says
I love this stuff too, but for a different reason. It has made my skin peel to reveal a new fresher layer. I have to have a lot of patience with it though because peely skin can be a pain when applying makeup.
DeeDee says
I’d love to try this because I’m really starting to notice my pores in my cheeks for the first time now that i’m officially over 40.
marciaf says
This is the first item that’s made a difference in my cheek pores. I hate the idea of running out so I’d love to win.

Honeygirlk says
I love this product – I didn’t think that I would because my skin is so sensitive I can’t use retinol products normally – but I have been loving this.
Robin Wilson says
I would sooo love to win one. The older *ugh* I get, it seems the more I notice them on my nose and cheeks. Thank you for the chance!
latanya t says
I think this would help me with my pore issue.
Leanna @ Being Leanna says
I would love to win this!! I have heard so many amazing reviews and it’s been on my wishlist for a while. My pores are my biggest issue with my skin and while i’ve found products to sort of fix the problem i’m always looking for something that’s going to make my pores appear smaller but also be good for my skin. Not just a makeup product.
Christine C. says
Hey Leanna, You were my winner! Can you send me an email with your name and address information to christine@simplystine.com! Thanks and Congratulations!!!
Leah says
I’d love to try this product because it sounds like it won’t irritate my skin. I have a very minor case of rosacea and I want products to help with anti-aging, but that won’t make me look redder.
Francine Farmer says
