Most Helpful Positive Review A must have! I'm 50 years old with large pores being one of my biggest issues, and am floored at the number of comments I've received since starting to use this product about a month ago about how 'young' I look! The appearance of my skin has improved dramatically -- and I've only been using it ONCE a day (instead of twice, as directed). Worth every penny!
This will definitely be a permanent part of my daily regimen.
Most Helpful Critical Review The name should be re-assessed This is certainly a mixed review, for me. The Precision Lifting and Pore-Tightening Concentrate is an interesting serum; I noticed one of the two titular effects that I was expecting. I found the product to be effective at tightening and lifting my skin, which is nice, but I am only 25 and don't find much need for tightening my skin. The reason that I purchased this product was to take advantage of the pore tightening and reducing effects. I did not ever really experience this effect, sadly. So while I would recommend this product to someone hoping to lift and tighten their skin, I would not steer them here if they were looking for a serum to reduce their pores.

Great product! After you put on your skin feels lifted and soft. Hope they don't change the formula
My Favorite of All of Kiehl's Products 5
Desert50 from New Mexico
All of my skincare regimen is from Kiehl's, but this one is my absolute favorite. It is meant to tighten pores and lift, and although I don't have pore problems, it really does lift, while imparting a delightful moisturization to my skin. As an added bonus, the fragrance is wonderful and I look forward to applying this every day. I know I am fortunate to be blessed with good skin, but Kiehl's helps, and I think it really contributes to comments about my age looking as though I'm fifteen years younger than I am!
works great to shrink pores 5
rjl12345 from undisclosed
i have slightly enlarged pores on my nose, and this helped considerably, even tho I've only used a couple samples' worth over the last couple weeks. Since I only use it on my nose before moisturizing, it lasts forever too. Can't say much about the skin tightening properties, but would definitely recommend for enlarged pores.
It does the job 5
sydneyp from seattle
I was pleasantly surprised when I bought this product on a whim just to try. After a week of daily usage my skin has never looked better. I am 28 and bought this to minimize my pores and it has done exactly that. Highly recommend this to everyone!!
So far so good 4
Kyliee from Beaumont, CA
Been using the product for a few weeks now and have noticed a difference, however when I try to put make up on over this my make up gets flaky. I find I can only use this at night.
great product 5

This works really well, worth money I paid for...strongly recommend it
It didn't tighten my pores 1
Arden from San Diego, CA
Pro: the texture is great. The scent is good not too overpowering. It is not oily at all. I can feel my skin getting slightly lifted.
Cons: I've been using it for over a month now. My skin started to break out and didn't see my pores getting tighter or smaller, which was the main reason I got this product.
Improvement: The pump gets clogged the next day and considering how much you pay for it, it felt like I was wasting a lot of my precious serum.
Was Looking Forward To Product 1
Natalie the Tryin'-New-Things from Minneapolis, MN
I purchased this with another Kiehl's product and was disappointed in both. The product, when applied following the directions, burned my skin. Maybe my skin is too sensitive? Dry? Not sure, but have returned the product. If you have oily skin vs. dry skin, this product may work better for you.
Good serum, just not for pore tightening 3
KateK from New York
Purchased in January, and applied am & pm daily since (4 months now) nearly finished w/ my bottle and have yet to see any improvement in pore size. I do exfoliate regularly and for the last 8 weeks haven't even worn makeup due to working from home.
I like the gel format and scent, it absorbs quickly and is not oily. However the pump is poor quality resulting in a bit of the serum drying in the pump and creates a small clog. It gets expunged the next day in the form of a small hard dry lump. Given the pricing, it seems wasteful to loose that dry bit of serum every day when there are plenty of other pumps on the market that do not do that.
Placebo effect or not, it works! 5
Laurie from New York
I used this back in 2017 and I stopped because I got cystic acne (not from this product, from hormones) and my dermatologist had to start my skincare routine from scratch. Now that I'm all healed, I'm left with these gigantic pores on my cheeks and nose. This product helps so much with pore reduction which also helps prevent blackheads. I use it 2-3 times a week and on the days I'm not using my acne medicine because I don't recommend mixing serums with acne treatments.
Love It 5
GAgolfnut from Georgia, USA
Love the product on my second bottle. FYI don?t throw the bottle out when the pump Stops working. Turn the bottle on it?s side, take the top off & use the rest by tapping in your hand. My skin has never looked better
I will buy this again. 5
diamondgirl from Sheboygan, WI
This product has recently become available here, but I was used to large sizes. The girls were amazingly helpful and pleasant. They looked up what I wanted and ordered it for me.
Just so so 2
sqdg from Newark, DE, USA
It slightly firms skin, but does nothing to reduce the pore size.
don't see any diference 1
bluesoul from New York, NY, USA
I've read a lot of good things about this brand and I was really excited to try this. I've been using this product for over four months with the amazonian clay mask, hoping that this will get rid of my pores problem and honestly my pores look completely the same, for the high price of this i was really expecting a lot from this brand and now i am very disappointed. Don't waste your money.
in the other hand the cannabis oil is great.
Works like a charm 5
Mary from California
I love it. It actually helped reduce the lines around the lines. After a month, I saw a difference. One of my favorite products.
Decent purchase 4
Gracie373 from undisclosed
Works wells to smooth my skin, feels tighter, and I notice pores look smaller. It makes my foundation look a lot smoother, too. It's one of those nice products that I treat myself to once in a while, but I could live without it. It doesn't have to be a part of my daily beauty routine, but it's a nice perk. That said, I don't think it's worth what you pay for it.
Beautiful and effective product 5
AngCat from Wisconsin
I recently purchased this product and I am stunned by the quick results I received. I am 27, but I do have lines on my neck that have completely disappeared after a very short time using this product. It makes my skin feel fresh, bouncy, and glowy. It makes me feel more confident wearing less makeup. I don't have an issue with pores, so I can't speak to that claim. A little bit goes a long way, so I recommend the tiny tube for anyone who wants to give this a go. A lovely addition to my nighttime routine, extremely impressive.
Not Ipressed 2

I have a combination skin and big pore on my cheeks. this products did nothing for me and I am using it for a month nothin is changed. It was literally a waste of money, specially for how much money you pay for this.
Didn't work for my pores 3
Mandy17 from Brooklyn, NY
In the last year or so, my pores have gone from invisible to very noticeable. When I saw this product, I was hoping it would be the magical solution I was looking for. It feels great and smells great, but unfortunately, it did nothing for my pores. After I finished the bottle, I had decided to switch to a lactic acid/retinol routine, which immediately worked wonders for my pores. I adore Kiehl's products, but this one just didn't work for me!

I love this product! It smells wonderful, and feels great. It tightens and lifts my skin, while giving it a lovely glow. My neck was beginning to sag; this product has tightened up my neck skin, it looks years younger.
Doesn't see any improvement 3
Star9 from Houston
I had purchased the product last year and been using it for a period of time. I was looking forward and hope that the product will help me to minimize my pore. unfortunately, I can't see any difference after using the product.
It works 5

I think I finally found a pore minimizer. It feels good on my dry skin, rubs on easily
It doesn't work 1
SC5121 from San Francisco, CA
I bought this based on the reviews and it simply doesn't work. I followed the directions and I've been using it diligently for the last 2 months and I'm simply not seeing any different, not even the tiniest bit. I was skeptical to begin with but after reading so many reviews of people seeing reduction in pore sizes, I figured, why not? Well, I should've stuck to my gut feeling because it just doesn't work. Don't waste your time or money. I'm going to keep using my Smashbox primer.
IT REALLY WORKS! 5
AMELIA4 from New York, NY
My holy grail product!!! I recently was very impressed with a sample of the skin rescuer during a trip to the airport, so I tried a sample of this and OMG it's a miracle lol. I had NO expectatins for this because I've literally tried everything to reduce my pore size, even aesthetic lasers, and nothing I've tried works. I have the world's largest pores! I noticed a dramatic difference after 2 days. The downside is I have to use it consistently or it will return back to the normal size. But it's still better than anything else out there! It's a miracle. It also makes makeup application WAY smoother. Please NEVER stop making this Kiehls! THANK YOU- LIFE CHANGING. TRY IT!!
LOVE THIS PRODUCT 5
Jillien from undisclosed
This product has helped reduce the size of my pores. My pores aren't as visible as others but it was still an issue for me. I have oily skin and I thought I was just going to live with huge pores my whole life. After using it for a couple of times I seen a huge difference in my pore size. My friends and boyfriend has noticed and I couldn't be any happier.
