I didn't expect much from this product, because I thought that with the amount of skin care products I already tried, it wouldn't make such a difference. You could imagine how surprised I was when I saw that after a couple of uses, my skin was starting to look brighter. It doesn't do any miracle on my stretched pores, but it still helps. I see even more of a difference when I apply it after doing a clay mask (which I recommend greatly to anyone with stretched pores)
