Neutrogena Pore Refining Cream By BMused on - Updated Oct 15, 2011
If you've despaired of ever finding an affordable face cream and moisturizer that will actually reduce the appearance of your pores and brighten your complexion, then Neutrogena's Pore Refining Cream is for you. This cream contains alpha hydroxy acids and retinol which slough away dead skin cells, unclog pores, and reduce the appearance of fine lines as well as pores. After a couple of weeks of daily use, your complexion will appear visibly brighter, clearer, and smoother, and your pores will be much less noticeable. Overall, your skin will look younger and fresher. This pore refining cream goes on smoothly, absorbs quickly and doesn't leave a residue. It's also gentle and suitable for all skin types. You may notice some tingling, redness, or slight breakouts on the face for the first few days of use as your pores unclog and your skin adjusts to the product. However, in most cases, the cream does not cause redness, breakouts, or irritation. As a bonus, the cream contains sunblock and has an SPF of 15.

I purchased the Made from Earth Vitamin Enhanced Moisturizer jar and I've been pleasantly surprised by the way it keeps my skin hydrated (I put it on after my shower in the morning AND at night) and feeling smooth. Yes, it does add moisture to your skin, which as we age we need more and more of it to keep our skin looking 'plump' and hydrated. This is what takes the fine lines out around our eyes and mouth - hydration, pure and simple. While Vaseline would do the same thing, who wants to have a greasy mess on their face? It is totally odor-free, and the feel of the cream is heavy. It spreads easily over my face and neck, and is absorbed quickly. I don't notice any oily residue which is great as I still have a bit of a 'T-Zone' issue.
