BeautyRx by Dr. SchultzDermstick Pore Minimizer, Anti-Aging Skin Care .15oz

I really love this product. I have been very self conscious of large pores on my nose area and make up always makes it look so much worse. Stumbled across this product and decided to give it a shot...so glad I did. I can see a difference after a week. The downsides, product quantity is small and stinging when u first put on but it subsides. Will def purchase again

UPDATE AGAIN: If they don't switch back to the push button style applicator, I will have to stop buying. The twist applicator is russian roulette; most twists nothing happens, sometimes 5 twists in a tiny dollop will ooze out, and sometimes 3 twists later, more than I need for my whole face comes out. As noted in my original review, this has been a consistent issue with that applicator. It is a total waste to buy such a pricey product in such small volume only to have no control at all over application.UPDATE (2022): I'm still using Dermstick. A while back they changed the applicator to a far superior push button design. It was much easier to control the amount of product used in an area and it didn't take ages to prime. My latest order, it seems they've switched back to the old applicator design--now with 28.5% less product! I get to pay the exact same price for 0.15 oz as I paid for 0.21 oz. What a racket.‐---First off, I like this product. I feel it does help reduce the appearance of my pores, and it helps my skin stay clearer in general. When I have breakouts, this helps them to heal more quickly than without. If I apply a lot of the product to a sensitive area, it will sting and turn red, but the reaction never lasts longer than a couple of minutes, and it's not painful.I have ordered two of these so far. My first Dermstick lasted me 3 months. My second Dermstick has not quite lasted me a month and a half.As the instructions state, it took about 10 twists to prime my first Dermstick, and then it was fit for use for as long as there was product in the tube. I used about 2 twists per treatment area because I had pesky blackheads and clogged pores covering fairly large portions of my face. I felt like 3 months was a good amout of time to be able to use the product, and I was happy with my purchase.My second Dermstick took at least 30 twists to prime, and I had to do at least 10 more every time I used it for the first few days. Now, it takes at least 3 twists to get any product out at all, and then the amount that is distributed is inconsistent. Sometimes 3 twists will get me 3 twists worth of product, and somtimes it will barely squeeze out any. I've tried all sorts of things to troubleshoot, but I've come to the conclusion that this Dermstick is defective.I think I'll order one more to see if what I received this last time was a one-off, or if the pen is often defective. If I receive another one that does not work as the instructions claim it should, I'll have to switch to something else. This is too expensive to have ones that only work for half as long as they ought to.

Produce works great but it seems like it has shoddy container - sometimes a problem to the product out and the label wasn't secure - but I would buy it again because the product indeed is working for me.

After BeautyRx mentioned that this and the exfoliating pads worked great together, I bought both. Why not? And they were definitely right. They are a bit strong, so I would use caution using them simultaneously. But they both are amazing products! I have extremely dry skin...lizard dry skin. However, my nose will get a bit oily and the Dermstick took that unnecessary shine away. This plus the pads definitely did make my pores smaller though! Who doesn't want small pores? I did...and it worked!

I opened the package and instructions said to prime the dispenser but it didn't need it. There was a little dried cream in the tip. Maybe this was a returned item??? I used it anyway. I will update when I see how many applications I end up with as there is no way to see in the tube.
