Large Pores help?

I don't really have a problem with oily skin, so I'd say I have normal/combination skin that gets dehydrated depending on the weather, but I have huge pores on my nose and upper cheeks, are there any primers or serums that has helped anyone on here? I've personally never tried anything like that, just my Neutrogena Pore Refining cleanser (it cleans out my pores quite well and leaves my skin smooth but does little to actually reduce pore size).
I also prefer to skip foundation on most days and opt for tinted moisturizers/sunscreen with just a touch of mascara and blush instead ...I was wondering if there's anything I can use under my tinted sunscreen/moisturizer that will reduce my pore size...I don't really have a blackhead problem most of the time, it's just those pores that are too deep and huge LOL!

Re: Large Pores help?

I have the same problem as well... I used to use biore's pore refine line, and the moisturizer helped minimize my pores pretty well until i ran out... haha.

But you could try monistat anti chaffing soothing gel creme as a primer to fill in your pores. I have it and its works well. I've also heard raves about pure luxe's eraser.

Re: Large Pores help?

Also applying just a bit of loose powder to the larger pore areas will really help to mask the look of the pore.

Exfoliation is important, salicylic acid if you are prone to clogging. Sounds like that isn't an issue for you. Physical exfoliation, like microdermabrasion, will help alot, as will glycolic acid products and retinoids. Takes time to work - months. but should give you a smoother surface.

Re: Large Pores help?

I have huge pores as well. I find doing a clay mask helps alot to shrink them temporarily anyway. Try Queen Helene Mint Mask.
