hello my beauties i have combination skin and get oily in the t-zone but my problem is pores!! their huge their in my nose and cheeks ive tried masks egg white etc. and nothing seems to work please help my makeup doesnt look like i would like it to look
i like primed and poreless literally vanishes the pores but doesnt do the job to keep them at bay for sure ..but ive used baking soda and water to make a paste and using it as an exfoliator works great on the skin
try a dayly regime. AVON, MARK, CLEAR SKIN, have some nice ones you could try. Dayly regime cosnsits of cleanser in the morning then maoisturiser, then cleanser and moisturiser before bed. Its a dayly routine but you gotta get into that happit to make it work. Also drink watter dayly
porefessional does not work for me! (same problem as you Alejandra) maybe a tiiiny bit, but definately not worth the €30 (that is about $36)

Hi I'm a Esthetician. Exfoliation is most important,the Clarisonic mia is amazing and deep cleans pores. When pores are filled with debri, oil they expand. Once you clear them out, they will shrink back to a smaller size. Unfortunately pores don't open and close. Murad exfoliating mask is great 2x week as well.
i actually just bought soap and glory fab pore that has a cloth and they havve a fab pore mask thats suppose to be amazing and murad too has stuff for that ; ) i know how hard it is to get rid of blemishes and marks
the clarisonic is great, but if you're not willing to fork out 150 dollars for it then you can just try exfoliating yourself. the clinique exfoliator does wonders. michelle phan also has a recipe for at home natural pore strips. its using unflavored jellatin and milk mixed together! you can check that out on her channel. but the benefits porefessional is only good for when you're doing your makeup, not actually helping your pores in general.

Benefit's 'porefessional' primer is excellent for sorting out pores ;)
