You all voted on the sidebar and I was amAZED at how many of you suffer from enlarged pores! Well, let me introduce you to Elsa, a follower, that suffered from this problem. After she contacted me about the issue we decided an experiment was in order! She went off in search of a bargain solution in light of the information we learned on how to kick her large pores to the curb. Take it away Elsa =)...
The pictures from an annual Halloween party was the day I REALLY noticed my pores, I was in SHOCK!! Yuck! I’m only 28! I shouldn’t be having a pore problem! I had seen a few creep up here and there but I never knew it was that bad!
I immediately emailed Jen to ask her how this problem could be fixed! I didn’t know you could get rid of enlarged pores, dumb right?? Luckily, she told me, it’s possible to get rid of them! So my mission started after Christmas- to get rid of those annoying holes on my skin.
So here are the products that I swear by, that have been giving me amazing results in such a short amount of time! A month, really!
1st The Olay Pro-X cleansing brush! Oh my goodness, this brush has been my bff the last month! I’m not usually a person that buys beauty supplies from drugstores, BUT this brush changed my life! It’s very similar to the spin brushes estheticians use when you get a facial. You know that amazing clean feel that can’t be beat? Well now you can get very similar results at home!! The next best part- is the price! It is only $29.99!! Not too bad when compared to its nearly identical twin from Clarisonic that is $200.00!! When I compared both brushes I really couldn’t tell a difference between the two, that’s how great this brush is!!
2nd I absolutely love love love exposed skincare! It is the best I have ever tried at clearing acne and keeping it away! I have used everything and I mean everything, pills, laser treatments, topical creams, tanning (ugh bad I know) just trying to clear up my skin and nothing worked. I swear nothing and I mean nothing works better -it’s truly a miracle line! Since using the Olay Pro-X cleansing brush twice a day once in the morning and once at night (for just one minute each time) the serums and acne lotions penetrate so much deeper into my skin now. My once enlarged pores are DISAPPEARING!! I have gotten so many compliments on my skin and even my mom noticed and said “your pores are shrinking!” I think in another month or two they will be completely invisible! That’s how great this brush and skin care line work together! I’m sold for life, so are my friends and family!
Just a little FYI- make sure to moisturize after using the brush. This brush was designed to help get rid of fine lines and wrinkles; so it’s truly amazing at exfoliating. Your skin will need some moisture put back into it though!

Great post. Think I'll give the Olay Pro X cleansing brush a try!
I love that second picture so much...adorable! I hope I look as cute in my velcro rollers :)
Just so you ladies know...
The difference between the Olay brush and the Clarisonic is how the brush head moves. The Clarisonic is designed in a way so that it will not tug on your skin which can lead to lines and wrinkles. It is also designed so that you can take the middle section of the brush head out for specific cleaning, and certain models even have a body brush that you can interchange. You can choose the speed and strength and it beeps to let you know when to move on to the next part of your face. I haven't tried the Olay so I'm not sure how it compares performance wise but the price sure is nice.
Just thought I'd give a little comparison for those interested.
Thanks Codi =)
Also... the Clarisonic brush is waterproof, the Olay is only water resistant. So you'll need to be more careful around water with the Olay brush.
I just saw these comments or else I would have posted this earlier! ☺
Both brushes are wonderful and I highly recommend both of them! If you have the money and you want just a couple more options, then buy the Clarisonic! Both the Olay and Clarisonic (version for $200.00, the 150.00 doesn’t have these options) have two speeds. The Olay however doesn’t beep, but honestly, you use it for one minute. It's not a super big deal for me. The Clarisonic does have a removable middle, which the Olay does not have. When I am cleaning around my eyes, I just switch it to the slower speed and the brush is so gentle and soft that it doesn’t hurt my VERY sensitive skin! The Clarisonic comes with a charging cradle, the Olay comes with 2 AA batteries.
Neither of the brushes are 100% Water proof- (when you read on a little further it explains that) the Clarisonic can be used in the shower and tub, the same exact way as the Olay Pro X. However, they are both water resistant, which is wonderful! They are designed to have water sprayed on them, but if you do drop either in a tub of water, it might not work! I have dropped mine a few times and it still works, thankfully; but I don’t recommend that happening! Both brushes are incredibly soft and super cleansing! Honestly I love both of them! They both do a great job! You really can’t go wrong with either of them, both are very similar! Keep in mind with either brush, you might not see results as fast as I have; but stick with it! It can take up to 6weeks before you see any results, whether you are using the Clarisonic or Olay Pro X
