TIAM Pore Minimizing 21 Cream, Niacinamide 5%, Natural BHA 2.1%, Pore Tightening Facial Moisturizer for Combination and Oily Skin, Minimizes Large Pores, 2.02 Fl Oz

I have been using the cream for 4 days in the mornings so far and will definitely continue to use it. The cream works very well for my problem skin. It is fragrance-free. The texture is light, absorbs quickly without greasy residue. I have broken skin, the cream causes minor burning right after application (though it does not last long, just for about 10 seconds). No further irritation occurs. The sebum control is very good, works almost all day (just do not apply a thick layer). And there is a calming effect to my skin. I have researched briefly about niacinamide and BHA, and these appear to be safe for using in the sun. Some sources even state that niacinamide provides some protection from sun (but does not substitute the sunscreens). Regarding the pore appearance: I’ve noticed a slight smoothing effect when wearing the cream, but again, it is very light, and it is not long lasting. For visible and lasting results, it is recommended to use niacinamide daily for a prolonged period, up to 4 weeks (based on my brief research))))). And of course, I would suggest a patch test first, as the components could cause an allergic reaction. P.S. product came in sealed tube with expiration date and PAO sign 12 months.

This product is good, but it didn't work well with my skin.

I came across this product after searching for moisturizers that will also help with minimizing enlarged pores. So far I’ve used it a few days in a row and haven’t had any adverse reaction.  The moisturizer gets absorbed quickly by my dry skin and the cream does feel like it tightens the skin and pores. I would recommend the product!Thank you for taking the time to read my review and photos of this product.  I hope it has been helpful in providing you with more information.

Broke me out. It saying it will do that to you. Didn’t do anything g for me except damage my skin

Did not cover as expected. Sticky on the face, peels and separates on the face after foundation is applied. Do not purchase.

Never used a product like this before, but I do like the results. I don't generally wear foundation so I can't say how it wears beneath, but it keeps my skin nice throughout the day. The only con I've found is that by the end of the day my face feels a little grimey, but by then I'm washing my face and doing my evening skin care routine.

I was able to apply this Tiam Pore Minimizing 21 Cream easily and quickly across my face and even better, there’s no scent!I’m sensitive to fragrances in addition to having sensitive skin that is prone to allergies. I also have oily skin. It’s difficult to find skincare that works well for all of those things but this product was not a problem for me at all. This left my face shine-free and with out irritation.I’ve been very happy with how well this has been working for me. I would definitely recommend this to others!

This product appealed to me because my pores can be pretty noticeable, I have combination skin and some parts of my face are too oily, and others are too dry..that results in some pretty variable textures. Enter this product. The first time I used it, I put it on over my daily face lotion that contains sunscreen. I wasn’t really sure when & how I was supposed to wear this product as most words on the container were in another language. I figured since it provided the smoothing effect, day time seemed appropriate. I applied my usual daily face lotion that contains sunscreen. Then I applied this product. I noticed an immediate smoothing effect. I then applied a light layer of setting powder and went about my day. Throughout the day I noticed my oily spots weren’t as noticeable. What I loved the most was the even texture on my face. I was thrilled with the smoothness. So the next day I repeated the process, but I put my actual make up on after applying this product and allowing it to absorb in my skin. As I tried to blend my foundation, this product began peeling off, (I was using a blender, no rubbing)..I was so disappointed. I was able to very lightly brush the peelings off my face and had to spend some time preventing more. The next day, I tried again, with a few minor adjustments in layering, etc. same result. I’m still experimenting with it because I did see so much potential the first day and I feel like there has to be a strategy for peeling prevention. However, that is a big deal in a product that I’m pretty sure is meant for day time use.
