Dr. Brandt Pore Perfecting Exfoliator

Before subscribing to different subscription boxes I had never heard of Dr. Brandt. However, after receiving a product or two inside of subscription boxes I’ve come to enjoy and look for Dr. Brandt products. When the opportunity to try the Pore Perfecting Exfoliator I jumped at it because with my large pores I needed it.

Before we talk about what I thought of the Pore Perfecting Exfoliator let’s talk about what it is and how to properly use it. To begin with the Dr. Brandt skin care line was made from a professional dermatology practice and with clinical research, so the products are professional quality without the prescription. As for the Pore Perfecting Exfoliator it is supposed to “refine the appearance of pores” while deep cleaning them and smoothing the skin. To achieve this you follow a few simple steps:

  1. Dampen the skin water
  2. Slowly and gently massage product for 1 minute, avoiding the eye area
  3. Let sit for 1 – 2 minutes for activation/deep cleaning to occur
  4. Rinse well and pat dry
  5. Repeat 1 – 2 times per week with 3 days between use

Those are easy enough steps to follow but once you do does the Pore Perfecting Exfoliator really work? If you have only slightly large pores or pores that are deep down dirty then yes the Pore Perfecting Exfoliator will probably work wonders for you. For me, who has very large pores that trap dirt exceptionally well, the Pore Perfecting Exfoliator doesn’t work as well as I would like. I do think it works great as a general exfoliator, however, for me it didn’t decrease the size of my pores or clean them as deeply as I would like. Again though, if you have normal – slightly large pores then you should totally pickup and try the Pore Perfecting Exfoliator!

    I haven’t heard of this brand before but it sounds like a really good product. Good skin care is so important as we get older – and especially with the dry air of another approaching winter.

    Anytime I read a beauty box subscription post Dr. Brandt products are always mentioned. What a shame that this product doesn’t give that deep clean that everyone likes. I really love to feel a product working and feel the difference on my skin so I don’t think these would be for me.

    I don’t have large pores at all, so this should work really well for me. I have heard of Dr. Brandt, but I don’t think I’ve tried any of their products. This would be a good place to start.

    I need to try this! My skin always suffers this time of the year, it is either to dry or overly oily from me treating the dryness!

    Those pores can really trap in a lot of dirt. Using this would be a good routine to keep your face clear.

    I have very large pores as well so I appreciate the honest review. While great for others, I might skip this product

    Thanks for sharing! It looks like something someone with medium sized pores would really appreciate. I’m of the large pored variety myself. I’ve yet to find something to shrink them.

    I haven’t ever heard of Dr. brant before. This sounds interesting. My pores are…. well, big and annoying. I’m glad to hear this may work for me … I may have to give it a try!

    This sounds like a really good product. I have used other pour reducing creams but I have been out for a while. I will have to give this one a try.

    I love Dr.Brandt! It definitely doesn’t get as much recognition as it deserves in the department skincare world. The whole idea of Microderm at home however hasn’t had much improvement, I think in this case – a trip to an esthetician/facialist will always be the best option!
