Q: I don't have blackheads, but would like to shrink the appearance of my pores. Will this work for that?
submitted by Kay - 1 year ago
A: I noticed a huge difference on my cheeks after 3-4 applications (I used twice a day after cleaning my face- AM & PM) but after 10 days of constant use I got discouraged because it seems like a temporary fix, I didn't apply it on day 11 and 12, and my pores went back to normal... big 😣
submitted byGA_Style - 1 year agoA: NO. IT CANNOT BE USED IN THE AM!! ACIDS SHOULD ONLY BE USED AT NIGHT AND YOU SHOULD BE USING A SUNSCREEN DURING THE DAY. ACIDS MAKE YOU MUCH MORE SENSITIVE TO UVA RAYS.
submitted byJenn - 10 months agoA: Hi there! Yes, it can help reduce the appearance of pores by dissolving the gunk that may be in them
submitted byHero Cosmetics - 1 year agoBrand expert
Q: Should this be used in AM or PM? Before mositurizer?
submitted by Sarah - 2 years ago
A: It can be used after cleansing, before moisturizer. It can be used both AM and PM!
submitted byHero Cosmetics - 2 years agoBrand expertA: Hi 👋 AM or PM, is up to you, but you must apply it on clean face, and yes, BEFORE moisturizer 🙂
submitted byGA_Style - 1 year agoA: NO. IT CANNOT BE USED IN THE AM!! ACIDS SHOULD ONLY BE USED AT NIGHT AND YOU SHOULD BE USING A SUNSCREEN DURING THE DAY. ACIDS MAKE YOU MUCH MORE SENSITIVE TO UVA RAYS.

submitted by Luscious Curls - 2 years ago
A: We recommend alternating days of use since they are both high in acidic content
submitted byHero Cosmetics - 2 years agoBrand expertA: BE SURE YOU USE SUNSCREEN. ACIDS SHOULD ONLY BE USED AT NIGHT!
submitted byJenn - 10 months ago
Q: Do you rinse this off after applying or leave it to dry before adding moisturizer?
submitted by Pagefamily926 - 6 months ago
A: The Pore Release can be left on and you can apply your other skin care once it is dry!
submitted byHero Cosmetics - 6 months agoBrand expert
Q: Why aren't you explaining to customers that they should ONLY use acids at night, due to increased sensitive to the suns rays? Also, that they should be using a sunscreen, with a minimum of SPF 30+?
submitted by Jenn - 10 months ago
A: It’s wild work that you felt the need to comment on every single QA with this but it’s on the box… calm down there Karen (Jenn)
submitted byAllison - 7 months agoA: Hey there! On the box of Pore Release, there is information regarding sun exposure and wearing SPF during the day when using the product. We always encourage using sunscreen any time :)

Q: Can this be used daily? In Am and PM ?
submitted by Nina - 1 year ago

I love this stuff
I didn't buy this for blackheads but instead bought it for my clogged pores around my upper cheeks and chin and i noticed a difference over night. I am one to buy super expensive products and I bought this on a whim at the drug store and I'm so glad I bought it. I use it every evening and morning after cleansing. I highly recommend.

Buy it!
Love this product! My skin is super sensitive and I have only had very little redness. My pores were terrible and nothing would help and this product has worked in 2 uses.

Helped with the Process
I have not experienced any burning or sensitivity to this product. I used it daily when I first bought it because my stress acne was terrible. I use it at least once a week now that my acne has gone away.

Amazing
I used to have so many blackheads then I started using this and it got rid of all my black heads! It also was a great combo with their black head strips that you put on your nose! I love this so much. It even helps with pimples

Great for closed comedones
I was a little nervous to try this product but I was at my wits end with closed comedonal acne especially on my forehead. But I was surprised to find out that tiktok really cooking with this one! My forehead has never looked this smooth before and i’m so happy that I can finally feel confident about my skin. I’ve now started using it on my chin and cheeks and my pores on my cheeks look much smaller and smooth. Very lightweight watery texture so i put it on a pad and it doesn’t dry my face out either. Overall love this product!✨

Great product
I have large pores that I've always been self conscious about. I tried everything under the sun to try and make them unclogged and minimize the appearance but nothing i tried worked. A friend put me on this product and im so glad she did bc after using this my pores shrunk and you couldn't see them without squinting and being super close. I still use this product and with the results im getting i probably always will. Would absolutely recommend this anyone needing help with their pores.

Works perfectly
I have occasional break outs and blackheads on nose and adjacent T zone. Use it several times a week. Works great and pores look improved in size. This works well for older women too- I am in my 60s

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works well, doesn't leave any type of film or residue on my skin. My skin doesnt get irritated from it either and I have somewhat sensitive skin. All-in-all I recommend it.

Works Amazingly!
Works extremely well, my pores went from large and noticeable to non-existance. Absorbs very well into the skin and love how soft it makes my skin!!
