L’Oreal Youth Code Pore Vanisher

Posted on March 14, 2014November 20, 2015 by Elaine

Since my skin is very sensitive to break outs it often takes me a while to test products out. I usually like to test a skin care product out for at least a week but normally for a whole month so I can see if I notice any difference in my skin’s reaction to something over an entire cycle.

I’m going to admit that I was skeptical about a product that can minimize pores but I have to say I’m actually impressed with L’Oreal’s Youth Code Texture Perfecter Pore Vanisher (what a mouthful!).

L'Oreal-Youth-Code-Texture-Perfector-Pore-Vanisher

 I’m happy to report that after weeks of using it day and night I’ve had no breakouts and I’m quite happy with the results!

I see an instant blurring effect when using this and it goes on nicely under my foundation. If you don’t have much to cover then you could probably use this on its own – no foundation needed as it does a great job of evening out the skin tone too. I’m curious to see what the long term results of using this product are as it claims diminish the size and number of visible pores.

If you’d like to try this product out for yourself I have FIVE of these to giveaway PLUS my friends at L’Oreal are also offering a grand prize to one luck winner to win the entire youth code line!

L'Oreal-Youth-Code-Texture-PerfectorAlong with the Pore Vanisher you will also receive the Texture Perfector Serum and the day cream!

Open to Canadians only – you know what to do 😉

    Maybe it is an effect of such a harsh winter but my skin has been acting up. It’s drier than usual, so I have to keep moisturizing… the problem is, no matter what moisturizer I use, the pores seem to be more visible in some areas. It would love to try this and see if it would improve things without drying my skin.

      I’ve used that product! It does smooth things over in the same way but I personally found my makeup stayed better with the L’Oreal product. I’m not sure if my skin was just in a different stage (sometimes I have to re-try products or switch them out b/c my skin is really strange and may just be finicky at the time I’m trying stuff out). The L’Oreal product is also supposed to be used at night too to minimize pores over time as well as giving you that instant gratification 🙂

    Hi Elaine! LOVE the red hair btw! Just gorgeous! I would like to win this as I already use L’Oreal skin products. The Magic BB cream is the bomb to me. I have tried other “blurring” products in the past but they end up being to “slippery” for my skin. I was looking at this new product from L’Oreal but could not commit, so winning it would be awesome!

      Hi Sidney! Thank you so much 🙂 I know what you mean – I have super oily skin and usually blurring products just make my foundation slide off on me too but I’ve had no issues with this one! Hopefully you’ll win and get to try it 🙂 If you do still start off with a tiny amount. Sometimes we apply too much product and actually make the problem we were trying to solve larger 😉

    I have quite large pores and some of the products I use don’t help, add that issue under the makeup and it is never fun. I’m quite self conscious when people are so close to me. I will usually use primer as well just to smooth things over but it is quite difficult. Also, with large pores, it clogs easily. I would love to these products. Anything to help with my pores.

How is this type of thing still happening, even in the age of AI? If a high-tech “smart tool” can’t properly recognize and accommodate diverse skin tones, then it needs further development and should not yet be released. End of story. 

Use your purchasing power to support brands that are inclusive in their product development, testing, promotion, AND corporate structure. Every action has impact.
