What the gurus are saying

Gurus overwhelmingly praise this as the rare pore-minimizing product that actually delivers measurable results, with most reporting 15-20% reduction in pore appearance after consistent use over 3-6 weeks. The consensus highlight is that it outperforms countless other pore treatments and primers on the market. Expectations are consistently set that results require patience and daily application, but reviewers emphasize the payoff justifies the wait. A secondary theme emerges around secondary benefits: some note it calms acne-prone skin, while others appreciate its gentle multi-tasking formula combining retinol, exfoliation, and hydration without irritation.

"This is the one that gives quickest and best results. I love it. They list all the ingredients and what they do on the back. Transparency 101. The packaging is beautiful and locks tight so you can travel with it without it spilling all over your case. You use this in a targeted way on the areas where you have enlarged pores. Within about 3 weeks, you'll start to see them shrink down. It just works. For anyone that's tried so much and invested so much of their coin in useless treatments for pore size, just get this. It actually works. And I've been so impressed. This brand actually just gives you reasonable expectations and then delivers them and in most cases exceeds them. They tell you what the product's going to do and they deliver it."

The FUTURE OF ANTI AGING - Ultimate Skincare Routine 2025
"I have quite large pores on my nose. In fact, they are probably one of the biggest sources of insecurity for me. I have struggled with this for years. Nothing's ever worked except this. This is the only product that's had a meaningful impact on my pores. I do just use it where I have the enlarged pores, which is on the nose and just the side here. And it actually works. I use so little. This lasts me literally forever. The product by Remedy will take maybe like a month to 6 weeks to work. So set your expectations, but after a month or 6 weeks, you'll definitely see your pore size diminish."
ALL-TIME GREATEST SERUMS 🏆 - 5 Serums Everyone Needs To Try
"This is the only product which genuinely minimizes the appearance of your pores. If your biggest insecurity is pore size and visible pores like mine used to be, get this. Use it in a targeted way. I just use this on the nose to keep everything in check and it actually delivers. This is one of the greatest skincare serums of all time because it actually works and there is nothing else like it on the market that actually delivers in the same way. It worked from day one and that definitely gives it cult holy grail status."
BEST SKINCARE 2025 🥇- Greatest Serums, Cleansers and Moisturizers
"I've tried so many pore minimizing serums, primers, toners, and none of them have done anything with the exception of this. This actually works. Now, set your expectations. This isn't going to eliminate your pores overnight, but it will take them down in size by about 15 to 20% after 3 months of consistent use. That's good. That is a really good outcome. A 20% reduction in the size of your pores in 3 months. That's actually a lot. That's really impressive. This is a really great product to include in your skincare routine if pore size is like your number one skin concern or insecurity. It works really, really well. I've tried so many pore minimizing serums. This is the only one that's actually worked."

"I use it daily, stunning. I don't really need to say much more than that, it's great. Genuinely works. Very few products will actually shrink your pores, that actually does. So it's not going to be the cheapest product you ever buy, but if you want something that actually reduces your pore size, it delivers. So totally would recommend it, and I'd recommend the whole line. The whole Remedy Skincare line is great. I love it."
Groundbreaking New Skincare - 5 SERUMS THAT CHANGE EVERYTHING 2025
"By far and away, the best they have to offer is this one designed to tackle pore size. And the reason that I say this is groundbreaking is having tried just about every single product that claims to be able to shrink the size of your pores, this is the only one that actually worked. I would say having used this consistently, and consistency is the key with any pore treatment, I've seen a roughly 20% reduction in the overall size and appearance of my pores. I have never before achieved that with any other product. So, Remedy Pore Size Serum is offering something truly different on the market and that it actually works. Now, of course, pore size is something that's genetically led. So, some people will just be predisposed to have larger pores than other people and there's not a whole lot you can do with pore size. But, if you can shrink the size of your pores by 20% using an affordable product like this, I think that's pretty amazing. And this for me is groundbreaking because it delivers."

#1 SERUM 2025 - Top 10 Serums Revealed
"I've tried a lot of products over the years to shrink the size of my pores, and none of them have done anything. Literally, all of them hot garbage until I reached for this. You can use this all over the face if you like, or you can use it in a targeted way. For me, I just use it on the nose and the edge, the side of the nose, too. And this really makes a difference. You'll need to use it every day for about a month before you start seeing those results. But trust me, it's worth it because a little does go a long way. One of these will last me like 6 months. So definitely a good value product. If you're sick of all of those pore minimizing serums that do nothing, try this out. I promise you, you won't be disappointed."
2025 SKINCARE HALL OF FAME - All The 10/10 Skincare I Used This Year
"I've tried pore shrinking products for 20 years now, and no product, no matter what the claim the brand makes, has actually delivered for me. That's until I reached for this. This isn't going to transform the size of your pores, you know, shrink them into nothingness or anything like that, but it will definitely have an improvement and make a difference. If you've ever tried a pore shrinking product and it's just done nothing, that's probably the reality of most out there. This actually works. I'd say you probably get like a 10, 15, 20% reduction in pore size if you use this consistently. And that for me is the best that I've ever found in terms of product. This is a long-term investment. Use it consistently for a couple of months, and that's really when you're going to see that real improvement in terms of pore size."
Approved
"The brand says it's for pore size which is true but I think this also works really well on acne prone skin. It can really help calm and soothe acne prone skin and can reduce the amount of acne you're getting. This is my claim coming from three clients who have used this product who are all three acne prone, one of them has a lot of acne. I give this an 8 out of 10. And if you've ever heard my ratings before you know an 8 out of 10 is creme de la creme, the best of the best."

"We have remedy for pore size, which is a product that I use. It's like retinol, exfoliating acids, peptides. It's a beautiful product and it's super moisturizing for people that are in their late 20s, early 30s and beyond that want that moisturizing effect."
Approved
"Remedy Pore Size Serum has everything in it, it has retinol, salicylic acid, niacinamide, and green tea to really target everything that you need to help your pores look smaller."

Are Dermatologist Skincare Brands Actually Any Good? 🤔 Remedy, Dr Idriss, Prequel
"I did cut down on everything so I was using this as my only pore targeted exfoliating product whilst testing it and using other actives in the morning but my skin's been absolutely fine with it. There is a pore here that does my head in, it constantly looks like I have a small spacious filament in, and I've seen a lot of improvement in that one pore over the last three weeks and I think it's just because I'm consistently using this product. I've seen such an obvious difference to the appearance of my pore size using this particular concoction of ingredients in this serum delivery method than I have done using typical BHA chemical exfoliant, for example. I'm excited to use this for another four or five weeks to really see in the long run how much it improves the pores, especially on my nose."
Are These New Skincare Launches Worth Your Money?...YES
"It's got 0.3% encapsulated retinol, 1% encapsulated salicylic acid, 5% niacinamide, green tea, perlite, and kinetin which helps improve skin texture and helps minimize pores. This is more for me at the moment, it's got that very gentle exfoliation with all the benefits that somebody with combination skin like mine can benefit from. No irritation whatsoever, none at all. The instructions do say use a pea-size amount, but I've actually been using a little bit more just because I feel like I have a giant forehead and I do need to use that little bit extra. But so far so good for me. It's always a test of will this new product irritate my skin before I start seeing results, and so far no irritation. Hopefully soon I'm going to start seeing results. Early days still, but I'm excited by this for sure."
Approved
"Remedy Pore Size Serum is retinol plus salicylic acid 1% encapsulated and niacinamide. So it really is more of an all-in-one treatment for larger pores, sebaceous filaments and blackheads. If you get occasional breakouts, I would go with Remedy for Pore Size."

Dark Spots? Large Pores? Dry Lips? REMEDY BY DR. SHAH IS FINALLY HERE!
"This is targeting your specific skincare concern with salicylic acid, niacinamide, green tea, and perlite. I'm obsessed with the functionality of how this works on oil glands. This will decrease oil production with salicylic acid, which will gently exfoliate, decrease oil production again with green tea and niacinamide, and absorb oil with perlite. I'm optimistic that this is going to be an extremely helpful product. We've talked about this in our pores and sebaceous filament videos about what was effective for these things. You can use this product all over the face. Because it has retinol, niacinamide, and salicylic acid, it's going to treat a lot of different things. It's going to have texture benefits and even anti-aging benefits."
Dark Spots? Large Pores? Dry Lips? REMEDY BY DR. SHAH IS FINALLY HERE!
"It dispenses a perfect psize amount for you to use over your entire face, every other night until your skin gets used to it. This is meant to be an all-in-one treatment to minimize the appearance of pores and eliminate sebaceous filaments beyond procedures in the office. We were able to stabilize everything that we wanted to in this formula. It's impressive, pretty complete."

"The thing I like about Remedy for dark spots is that it has multiple logical ingredients for tackling hyperpigmentation. We know that creating a formula for dark spots that has ingredients that tackle multiple arms of the pigment pathways makes sense. You're getting inhibition of transfer of pigment packets from pigment producing cells to keratinocytes through niacinamide, you're getting stimulation of copper inhibiting tyrosinase, you're getting some tyrosinase inhibition from retinol, you're also getting improved clearance of pigmentation through the retinol. You're getting the tranexamic acid aspect that may help cut down on arachidonic acid triggering pigment production, as well as licorice root which calms down hyperpigmentation, and some antioxidants in there."
