    Default Large Pores

    Does anyone have any tricks to reduce their pore size. I can't stand how big mine look with makeup after 5+ hours.

    I've never heard of apple cider vinegar as a toner. Interesting!

    Use a toner and a skin mask dedicated to pore reduction.

    I've heard of the halo laser but down time isn't an option at this point in time. Do you have to use skin masks daily for pore size or is it weekly?

    I think doing a chemical peel really helped my pore size. It was annoying as shit but worth it. I did the perfect peel here in NYC for $250.

    Women with "ethnic skin" tend to have bigger pores. It's a good thing, it means the skin ages more gently.

    TBH I just deal with the issue by using good foundation & re-touching often if needed. Also diet can change how your skin texture looks.

    Large pores are genetic and inevitable as we age.

    Some things that help:

    Gentle cleansing and exfoliation - such as glycolic acid

    Are you using primer before applying makeup?

    Minimizing oil production on your face. I always keep some oil blotting papers in my purse

    I have oily combination skin and I also have open pores. I use a tool that I purchased from ebay years ago, it is a black head remover tool, when I feel my skin around my nose is flaky and the pores have oil in, I gently poke out the stuff from my blocked pores and remove it so it is cleaner and fresher.

    I have been putting on a green clay mask every other day since I have been sleeping in my makeup for the past week agh! my skin is so soft and smooth!

    I use a natural cleanser, (toner too) and wipe it with wet cotton wool pads, moisturise my face with a vitamin e night cream and Wala!

    Use a good pore - filling primer. Dr Brandt's Pores No More seems to be universally loved. And find a good setting spray to put over a matte - finish foundation.

    I put about 2 tablespoons of it in witch hazel bottle. That's my toner.

    My pores have definitely gotten smaller thanks to exfoliating with glycolic acid and salicylic acid it also really helps with acne scars and acne. When I made my own masks using Aztec healing clay my skin wasn't as oily I think that gave the illusion of smaller pores as well and my holy grail primer Becca's Oil controlling primer fills in pores like silky cement and it doesn't make me break out.

    porefessional by benefit is AMAZING. i got it as a sample once (So very tiny bottle) and it lasted forever. its almost like a wax that just smooths over everything and makes ur skin look perfect. I don't use it regularly because i cam and you can't tell on cam. but for special occasions yes yes yes. i honestly never even knew a product could work so good.

    I use St. Ives apricot scrub, the blemish control one. I bought it because it says that it prevents blemishes and minimizes pores. So far it has seemed to be working. I use witch hazel as a face toner too.

    I have big pores as well but only on the front "triangle" part of my cheeks. The lady that did my microblading recommending microneedling to me; and I just bought a kit to try it at home. It was pretty inexpensive, I will come back and give an update in a few weeks .

    To the ladies who use the diluted ACV - do/can you apply around the eye area as well?

    Also, would you say its suitable for very sensitive skin?
