What do you all think is the best treatment for large pores and oily skin?

Pores cannot shrink once they are enlarged, unfortunately..however, there are products that temporarily shrink them in size like pore fillers & face washes. Pore fillers work nicely, I use the Maybelline baby skin one sparingly on my mother when I do her makeup and they're blurred tremendously (Pore fillers can be used on their own without foundation).

As for oily skin, there's face washes that claim to keep oil at bat but I would imagine they're just sucking the moisturize out of them. I've been using the Olay Fresh Effects oil diminishing one and I haven't noticed a difference. However, there are primers (which can be used alone as well) that mattify the face :) I like Lorac porefection primer.

Sorry I don't have any skincare type tips, I don't know any!

For pores like renay said there is not much to do but use a pore filler..lots of brands make them.
oily skin you really need to just wash your face twice a day with nothing too harsh. if you strip your skin of all the moisture it will just produce more oil and it'll be a never ending cycle. I've also noticed face washes that claim to mattify are just too harsh. I like fresh soy face cleanser and/or cetaphil cleanser. I use the glamglow mud mask for acne prone skin (the white jar) 3 nights a week and that's been extremely helpful with my pores and oiliness. also you still need to moisturize although your oily. I've been obsessed with Ole Henrikson sheer transformation for soo long now, I refuse to use anything else because I feel like it just balances my skin..you have to make sure you just use things that help balance your skin, not strip the oil out of it.

Pores I can honestly tell you I cannot help you with that. For oily skin I recommend cetaphil gentle cleansing bar. It is a staples soap alternative, it is ph balanced and it keeps your skin clear. I recommend it for all skin types have a good day :)

I have both oily skin and large pores. I use a face scrub 3 times a week and clay face mask once a week. primer helps to fill them and reduce shine.

Thanks guys and Michelle H I have cetaphil but not the soap bar! I have the face wash! is the soap bar better?

Guys I just want clear skin! is there anyway I can not have oily skin? I was thinking of begging my dermatologist for accutane!

Well I have very oily skin myself and to be honest, there's a bunch of products that work temporarily but not quite permanently.
I however have learned to embrace my oiliness. Yes, it is hard. Have tissues with you so that you can wipe your excess oil away and be thankful for the fact that your oily skin won't wrinkle as quickly as drier skins do. 😏
