Hypothetically, if I met some kind of skincare genie-wizard hybrid who could grant me one wish regarding my skin, I would--without a doubt--wish for smaller pores. (Non-existent, if possible.) Because honestly, I hate my pores. They're huge, like dinner plates, and I just want them to go away. Sadly, I've yet to encounter a skincare genie-wizard hybrid, but I have, however, discovered the next best thing.
Dr. Jart+ just released a collection dubbed Pore Medic, a system of products created for pore circulation management and formulated for both combination and oily skin--and it is awesome. Just in the past week since using the products I've already noticed some major shrinkage, with zero negative side effects like breakouts, irritation, or dry skin.
So read below for a quick rundown on the products--but trust me, if pores are your worst enemy, you'll want to snag them all up.
