The gel is formulated to produce similar results as in-office cosmetic procedures, including tightening saggy skin, smoothing fine lines, reducing puffy bags, and brightening dark circles. After using a face moisturizer, I took a small amount and warmed it up between my fingers for five seconds, as advised by the brand, then gently dabbed it across each of my under-eye circles. The area appeared red at first, but after a minute, I felt it drying and noticed the circles had lightened, and the skin felt physically tighter and smooth to the touch once it was fully dry. 

One of the hardest-to-improve areas is the skin on the neck. And while no cream can replace injectables or surgery, this peptide-and-polysaccharide technology makes noticeable de-sagging headway.

Are machines and tools intimidating for you? Then get this microdermabrasion treatment. It is a lightweight, age-defying exfoliator that buffs away all the dead skin cells. It has skin brightening and smoothing properties that helps the skin feel rejuvenated and nourished. In addition, the formula is infused with pharmaceutical-grade crystals that help to smooth the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.

The Dr. Brandt Pores No More Pore Refiner Primer is another favorite of Lovello's, thanks to its smooth matte finish that helps minimize the appearance of large pores. The hypoallergenic and noncomedogenic formula is spiked with red clover flower extract, which can "heal inflamed skin," according to King, without clogging your pores. It's even infused with a derivative of salicylic acid (known as capryloyl salicylic acid) to gently sweep dead skin cells.

If you're looking for a good scrub, Dr. Brandt's is a solid choice. "That one is actually a combination of a physical and a chemical exfoliant," says Dr. Garshick. It helps even out your skin texture, minimizing bumps, and will give your skin a glow. Reviewers say their skin is genuinely so much softer after usage!

The Pore Refiner Primer by Dr. Brandt has a velvety cream texture and instantly reduces the appearance of fine lines, pores, and imperfections. The 2-in-1 formula works as a primer and pore refiner that absorbs excess oil and mattifies shiny skin. This wrinkle-smoothing makeup primer smoothens the skin, camouflages the pores, and adds subtle color for flawless skin. The lightweight primer formula can be used on its own as a makeup primer or over makeup for midday touch-ups. It provides a matte finish without looking patchy.

It can be tricky to minimize the look of pores when wearing a full face of makeup, but this mattifying primer is up for the task. Red clover extract helps balance oil production to shrink the appearance of pores, while a BHA derivative gently exfoliates to create a smooth canvas. Rebecca loved how lightweight it was, and she noted that her skin stayed smooth all day and she didn't feel the need to touch up her makeup.

This gel-form cleanser is perfect for reducing the appearance of pores. When pores get clogged with oil, the oil that’s exposed to air oxidizes and turns black. As a result, you might find that your face appears to be covered in tiny blackheads!

When I’m too lazy to pull out my microdermabrasion tools and gadgets, I reach for this scrub, which uses super-fine crystals to mimic the diamond exfoliation of microdermabrasion. But (!) it also contains chemical exfoliators—glycolic and lactic acid—which sink into your skin and dissolve dead skin cells to help brighten and smooth over time. FWIW, I’ve been using this microdermabrasion scrub since college because it’s so easy to just massage onto my skin in the shower (along with the body version), so trust me when I say this stuff is good.
