Science: Estee Lauder Reviews by NvWah_Estee Lauder Idealist Pore Minimizing Skin Refinisher

This is a heavily silicone-based serum. Silicone fills in the pores and makes u look "poreless". However the effect is only temporary.

But on the other hand this product is equipped with potent antioxidant and moisturizing effect. It also has slight anti-acne effect.

On the bad side there are a number of skin irritants present in this product. See "The Not-So-Good".
