SO effective; I wish it was cruelty-free!

I had the opportunity to try out this product recently, and I must say, I am in awe. If you have large pores that often causes your makeup to become cakey or look uneven, applying this 20 mins before primer will really create a far smoother base for your foundation. I also found this particularly effective after using a clay mask to extract oil and dead skin cells from my pores; it actually tightens them up, so that after the fact, gunk can't make its way into your pores so easily. Unlike many products, this serum does EXACTLY what it claims to, and I optimistically look forward to the day that this potentially becomes cruelty-free so I can purchase it for myself!
