For years there has not been a comparable product to Estee Lauder’s best-seller, Idealist Pore Minimizing Skin Refinisher, which retails for around $46.50. So we applaud L’Oreal for coming out with a product that’s just as effective, but is available in local drugstores.

Selling at around $19.99, the Skin Genesis Pore Minimizing Skin Re-Smoother is one of the few skin care products that we’ve seen that gives instant results. Unlike many of the all natural organic products that are being launched today, L’Oreal has a more scientific approach for the Skin Genesis line. However, all the formulas are dermatologist tested to be safe and gentle.

To start with, even the packaging is advanced. Pore Minimizing Skin Re-Smoother has a unique airless pump, which protects the formula. It also doesn’t hurt that the tube is really neat looking! This product claims to tighten pores and retexturize skin, and it actually delivers. After one application, our pores looked smaller and our skin was softer.

The active ingredients are pro-xylane and hyaluronic acid (used by dermatologists for wrinkles). This product is to be used daily, underneath moisturizer. This formula absorbs in the skin very rapidly, and we found that we could not use it without moisturizer. It’s also very lightweight, so we didn’t feel like we had a lot of product on our skin.

There’s no doubt that you have plenty to choose from when it comes to buying an eye cream. But many of them do not have every desired benefit at once. It is rare to find an effective product that works on wrinkles, dark circles, AND loss of firmness. However the Aveeno Positively Ageless Lifting & Firming Eye Cream does it all; and it really works! Within four weeks, our concealer was getting a lot less action. This eye cream contains wheat protein to firm skin, and shiitake mushrooms to slow down the aging process.

Aveeno has always been a favorite of dermatologists for its gentle ingredients. So as expected, the product didn’t have any unnecessary fragrance and it didn’t sting our eyes. Our favorite part about this product was that it didn’t affect our makeup at all. Since it’s a non-greasy, fast absorbing cream we didn’t get any creased eye shadow or traveling eyeliner.
