I'm 35 and have oily acne prone skin. I was a loyal Proactiv customer, but over the last year my skin was looking dull and starting to show signs of aging. I love this product. I have been using it for 2 months with the Definity Foam Moisturizer and have seen noticable results. I noticed a difference after the very first use in the size of my pores and how smooth my skin felt. Since then, my skin had gotten brighter, clearer and some of the dark "sun" spots have faded. When I first applied the moisturizer, it was so nourishing I was afraid it would make me break out, but it didn't. Even in the morning, my skin felt soft but not oily.

First of all, I love the Olay line of products for my skin, which is very sensitive. I was natually concerned about trying the Olay Definity Pore Redefining Scrub...I was afraid of having this red kind of skin for hours. I loved it. It did not make my skin feel anything but great. Smooth, and calm. And after two times using it, I noticed the larger pores developing on my older skin actually getting smaller. I have been using this in the mornings for over a month now, and most of my pore concerns are mostly gone...on my nose and upper cheeks...I love it, I love it, I love it.....did I mention I loved it? Try it, your going to love it.

This product works very fast. I really can not remember another pore scrub that sucks the dirt out as fast as this one. Usually it takes a while to get the pores clean, With this product you can see visible results literally after first time you use it if you do good enough job.
It seems like some reviewers cant agree if it helps to make pores smaller or not. I can't help with this question because alongside with this product I use Loreal Skin Genesis pore minimizer gel cleanser (pink bottle) and between those two products my pores are clean and much much smaller then what they use to be. However it took couple of months to minimize pores. I use both products once a day because as soon as I let my regiment loose my pores get big and dirty again.
Sidenote - this product has also salicylic acid in it which means if you have occational pimple on your face this product in a long run should take care of it.

Update - I dropped it for Obagi Pore Therapy. Its liquid, like toner and I didn't expect much (I bought it long time ago and it was just sitting in the corner of the drawer, I had forgotten why I got it in the first place) , and yet after applied it on my face 3-4 times in one day I was next morning searching information about this product to see if this is responsible for my pores being so much cleaner and smaller. And it was!

I use the Definity Pore Redefining scrub with the Definity night cream, illuminating eye cream, and correcting protective lotion. The scrub is one of my favorites of the group. It has a nice gritty feel during use that feels like it's deep cleansing, yet leaves skin nice and soft after drying. It also has a very pleasant fragrance. My skin is brighter and cleaner looking after use. It does a nice prep job for the other products. It also reduced the size (or at least appearance) of large pores, particularly in the problem zone between the eyes and above the nose. So far so good for me. By the way, I'm a 40-something male, so I'm offering a perspective for any men who may be considering the product as well.

Seems to clean well & detoxify but as much as I wanted it to & was hoping it did, based on some reviews I read, it does NOT reduce pore size or, their appearance. I think people that have said it did, just wanted to believe it so much...they did!

Really love the way my skin feels after using this product. It gently exfoliates and doesn't make my skin dry. If you are looking for a gentle cleanser that exfoliates and reduces the appearance of pores....you'll love this product.

Olay makes excellent, affordable beauty products. I like the way my skin feels after washing with this scrub. My only concern is the fragrance. Its not unpleasant but it is very intense. Its too intense for a facial product. Other than that one thing, I really do like the product.

Product is not good for sensitive skin. I am accustomed to using unscented products. The scent on this product is so strong, and since the scent is on your face for hours after you use it, the scent eventually turns my stomach. Red splotches on my face from two days of use (once a day.) But again, I have sensitive skin. Waiste of money. :(

At the end of day or early in the morning there is a sticky oilyness (Oily skin people will probably relate to me). This scrub is so mild on the skin and yet very cleansing. I feel fresh after washing with it. My pores have visibly reduced. I give this product the praise for it because I dont use make up, cleansers or any other beauty products. I am allergic to a ton of them. This scrub works. I use this to wash and apply calamine lotion after.

My skin has gotten better for the year so now I apply some compact powder and off to work.

Even my sensitive skin can use this product. Use it on my face in the shower and seems to help remove dead skin and gives a healthy glow to the skin. Only giving it 4 stars because haven't used it long enough to determine if it will also help face age spots. But, so far so good. Would recommend this product.
