Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Microneedling and larger pores
I have done about 6 microneedling treatments over the past year, and my skin does not look any better than it did to being with. 3 of the microneedling were Vivace microneedling with Radiofrequency (which did nothing and was super expensive), and the rest were Rejuvapen, which is like the skin pen. My main concern was skin texture; acne scars and mainly pores.
Microneedling did not improve my skin like it does for many. It made my skin worse, in a sense that my pores look much larger and I have all these pores/dots on my forehead that didn't show prior to my microneedling treatments. I have stopped microneedling since, and did 3 chemical peels after (each 3 spaced a month apart), to see if that was better for my skin texture but I have not seen a crazy difference.
I feel that these treatments have made my skin weaker/thinner/lost elasticity to where my pores appear MUCH larger now than before doing ANY treatments. Anyone else experienced this?
I have also tried everything out there to minimize my large pores and nothing seems to really work. They say that pores are genetic but no one in my family has skin like mine. I feel that at my age, my skin isn't supposed to look like this many deep pores. I am 29 years old.
