The two-in-one beauty product has come a long way from Pert Plus. While anti-acne creams have been infused with anti-aging ingredients (and vice versa) for a few years now, DDF's new Wrinkle Resist Plus Pore Minimizer ($85) addresses something more specific, and promises instant results.
This is a big claim, so after applying it, I stood at my bathroom mirror waiting for my pores to disappear.

After I posted last week's Beauty Mark It Challenge for a pore-minimizing product, I got a few friendly reminders that there is no way to actually shrink pores, only to minimize their appearance. But hey, we take what we can get, right? Reader insidesusan thinks that the Estée Lauder Idealist Pore Minimizer is the best, saying that it leaves her skin supremely smooth.

I was reading some posts in Beauty Product Junkies, and it looks like user areidz needs help finding a pore-refining product that works, so I thought it would be fun for all of us to help her out. I've heard good things about Dr. Brant's Pores No More, but let me know your favorite pore-shrinking product, whether it be a serum, primer, moisturizer, or scrub — as long as it does the trick!

Good riddance, nasty blackheads!. The idea behind the new and improved Estee Lauder Idealist Pore Minimizing Skin Refinisher is to achieve the brightest and most luminous finish to your skin as possible. Whether you realize it or not, your skin endures lots of daily wear and tear and becomes flaky, blotchy and dull-looking.

Just like our bodies need oxygen to be healthy, our skin does too. Enter Michelle Peck, facialist to Madonna, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Lopez and Molly Sims (just to drop a few names). She started off as a masseuse, however, her career really began to take off when she connected with skincare brand Intraceuticals and began putting her own healing touch on their oxygen treatment called Intraceuticals Infusion.

Highlights
Smoking and Skin Damage
- The skin of smokers ages more rapidly than the skin of non-smokers, even in areas of the body not exposed to sunlight, according to a 2007 study. Women in the study who smoked also had much lower levels of vitamin E secretions in their skin. Vitamin E may protect the skin from sun damage.
- There may be an association between smoking and higher frequency of a type of acne (noninflammatory acne) in adult women, according to a European study.
Antioxidants and Your Skin
- A study in the Journal of Nutrition found that a combination of antioxidants and trace elements supplementation raises the risk of skin cancer in women, but not in men.
Ultraviolet Radiation
- Overall, exposure to ultraviolet radiation from sunlight (radiation referred to as UVA or UVB) accounts for about 90% of the symptoms of premature skin aging.
- UVB primarily affects the outer skin layers.
