StriVectinFace Oils & Serums to Hydrate Dry Skin, Reduce the Look of Pores and Visibly Clear Complexion, 1 fl oz

Nice and love love the scent, this should be a parfum.

This works very well with derma roller.

Not sure what’s the hype I seen a little difference but nothing to go crazy about. Not worth the amount of money I paid.

I use this at night after the Vitamin C Serum and I love it. The oil absorbs and hydrates and the Vitamin diminishes age spots and skin discoloration. Good Products!

After a CO2 lazer procedure, I add one drop of this serum to my foundation before application. It helps smooth foundation on my skin and leaves my face with a fresh, dewy appearance. Love all the ingredients which nourish my delicate skin. Non-irritating.

Doesn't minimize pores. Smells strange. :(

I'm experienced with AHA's and BHA's, but I'd never tried any from Strivectin (or any of their products!). I was excited to see what this serum was all about.I was pleased to see it also contains bonus enzymes and plant extracts that help with controlling oil and preventing breakouts.I've got really bad pores. Likely a combination of bad genetics and tanning back in the early 2000's.This serum really prevented pimples in my T-zone and kept my pores debris-free.It's light and you just need a few drops to cover your entire face and neck. It's scented, although I wish they offered an unscented version too. (Not unpleasant by any means, just be aware if fragrance-free is your preference.)Some trial and error tips I've found during a couple of weeks using this :Don't wear it during the daytime. The AHA's and BHA's will make you much more photosensitive, which means you're more likely to sunburn.Don't layer any moisturizer over this product. (aka "slugging"). I didn't realize this until recently, but layering moisturizers or balms over top of acids can actually make the acids stronger and cause irritation. Best to wear the serum alone. Try this and see how much calmer your skin will react to the acids.If everyday use seems to be making you red or irritated, just scale back to every other night, or every 3rd night. My skin seems to like just two times a week with this serum.Finally, I like that Strivectin was transparent enough to mention on the box that there's no way to shrink pores. But! You can keep them clean and prevent them from being enlarged any further. This serum really does act like a mini vacuum that keeps the "rice grain" things out of your pores and prevents those plugs from stretching the pores.

This serum is light weight and watery. It absorbs very quickly but, it does leave a very minimal sticky or tacky feeling that fades pretty quickly leaving a nice matte look. It takes 5-6 drops to evenly layer around my face and neckline. the ingredients are pretty good but there is a good amount of alcohol in this product. My skin tolerates products with alcohol well but thats definitely something to keep in mind. The scent of this product is light and slightly herbal. the scent is very mild and fades even quicker. I also like that this product has a drip stop within the tube given it is a water based product.As for results and experience I have been using this product for 2 days or rather 24 hours and already I can say I have experienced a purging phase. After using this product I didn’t experience anything abnormal. No tingling or irritation. Just easy application and the next day the purging has begun. Nothing crazy just a couple blemishes while the rest of my skin is looking radiant and taunt. I like to use my AHAs and BHAs for 24-48 hours consecutively and then restore with my vit C or niacinamide during the day and my retinol at night. I can’t necessarily say this is better than niacinamide for my skin as I usually never experience a purging phase with niacinamide. I would say the results are similar to niacinamide. My skin looks more clear bright and my pores are less visible but, this product is a bit more intense. Overall, I would say off that bat this serum is great and pretty potent. In 24 hours of use I have seen the results it claims. This is absolutely not an everyday serum but rather an as needed serum when you deep that extra deep cleanse within your skin. This is a great product so far. I would highly recommend it. Just expect a purging phase! It’s been quit some times since I’ve experienced a purging phase with a product. Even though there’s a purging phase I am happy with the results I am seeing!

I like the thin consistency of this oil. It's not heavy and once absorbed, you can put foundation on if you wish or just leave it on for an overnight treatment.
