LBS Beauty Review: Neutrogena Pore Refining Collection

neutrogena-pore-refining-review

As I’m lining up my arsenal of skincare products for this upcoming winter, I’ve been on the market for a line that includes a great cleanser and an exfoliator.

looking-at-poresThe “perfect skin” fantasy  for most girls like myself typically includes teeny tiny barely-there pores that you can’t see at first glance in a mirror. You know, basically non-existent pores. I mean, isn’t that the dream?

Recently, the folks at Neutrogena sent me a package of the Neutrogena Pore Refining collection and challenged me to give it a whirl for 7 days as part of their #PoreNoMore challenge.

I started using the collection right after New York Fashion Week ended. My skin needed a break from the wear and tear of daily makeup, sweat and overall post-Fashion Week exhaustion so I figured it was the perfect time to try out the collection.

The products I tried for the week included the  Neutrogena Pore Refining Exfoliating CleanserNeutrogena Pore Refining Daily CleanserNeutrogena Pore Refining Moisturizer and the Neutrogena Pore Refining Toner – all great products to have in your skincare arsenal.

So after using the collection for a week, I definitely noticed a difference in my skin. My favorite product (and one I’m sure I’ll be using all winter) is the Neutrogena Pore Refining Exfoliating Cleanser. It has really small micro-beads so it’s non-abrasive but still gently exfoliates your skin daily to reveal smooth skin underneath. The moisturizer is also a great compliment to any of the products. Because my skin tends to be dry in the winter, I will probably opt to use the toner sparingly and only in my T-zone as I have combination skin.
