StriVectin Retinol Pore Refiner

IChristmas has come and gone again this year. And in it's place, it's left empty calories and major hangovers. Maybe they wouldn't be so major if I wasn't getting older? Remember those days of going ALL. NIGHT. LONG. and waking up 3 hours later to go to work? Where did that body go? I'm lucky if 2 glasses of wine doesn't render me useless the next day.
 You know what else comes with getting older? Crappy skin. Seriously, I'm 31, and somedays I feel like I look 40. My husband tells me I'm crazy and I barely look 30. But what can I say? I'm critical of myself.

 So when I got a chance to check out a new Retinol pore refiner from StriVectin, I jumped on it. It claims to give you smoother, more refined skin and smaller pores. 96% of users saw results almost immediately. For more information, click this link: StriVectin Advanced Retinol Pore Refiner
As soon as this came in the mail, I washed my face and immediately applied the serum.
 It has a very light moisturizer feeling to it. Light smell, not overly soft or smoothing.
 I couldn't wait to see the difference, only I never saw one. :/

 I tried again five minutes later, still the same skin I had after washing my face.

I decided I wouldn't make any decisions on the product until after two weeks of use. And unfortunately, that didn't help. I still have pores just as visible as the first day I started using the StriVectin. I haven't noticed an increase in moisture in my face either. Actually, the retinol has dried my face significantly.

No primer here (I ran out 😖) and terrible pores even with makeup

Unfortunately I can not recommend this product. I'm sure plenty of people have benefited from it, swear by it; it has changed their skin. But I'm not one of them.

 So the search continues. Primer is my friend, and that relationship is only getting better. **I received this product free for testing purposes. All feedback and reviews are my own. I received no monetary compensation for this post
