My Doctor's Diagnosis: Analysis and Target

Visit Pore Minimizer – Pore-correcting treatment Guerlain's product is primarily intended for combination to oily skin prone to enlarged pores, shine, and localized imperfections. This treatment aims to refine skin texture, mattify, and visibly reduce the appearance of pores. Guerlain's formula is the result of expert research, combining mattifying, purifying, and moisturizing agents to effectively address this common skin concern.

Formula Analysis: Key Assets

Three active ingredients stand out in this formula:

• Kaolin This natural clay absorbs excess sebum and instantly mattifies the skin, helping to visually tighten pores.
• Zinc Gluconate Zinc is known for its sebum-regulating and purifying properties. It limits bacterial proliferation and helps prevent the appearance of blemishes.
• Lentil Extract (Lens Esculenta) Rich in oligosaccharides, it acts on the structure of pores by strengthening cell cohesion, promoting a smoother and more uniform appearance of the skin.

The presence of vitamin E derivatives and vegetable oils provides antioxidant and protective properties, while avoiding the drying effect often associated with mattifying skincare products.

Tips and Application Ritual

I apply this treatment in the morning, on clean skin, before moisturizer or as a makeup base. It can also be used to touch up the T-zone during the day. I recommend avoiding combining it with highly exfoliating or retinoid-based treatments to limit the risk of irritation. It is compatible with moisturizing or soothing serums.

My Final Verdict & Safety Opinion

This Guerlain product stands out for its immediate effectiveness on skin dullness and texture. Its light, non-greasy texture is pleasant, but the presence of fragrance and alcohol may be a drawback for very sensitive skin. In conclusion, it is an excellent ally for refining skin texture and controlling shine, provided that skin tolerance is monitored.
