Hi! My pores are huge, particularly my on my t-zone. Are there any products out there to decrease their size over time??

Since I started using witch hazel and rosewater as a toner my pores have gotten less noticeable and my skin in general has cleared.

From what I've learned, nothing physically reduces the size of pores. Things can only make them appear smaller like keeping them clean, pore minimizing primers as well as certain makeup and/or techniques.

ALTHOUGH I've heard that using things to help boost collagen can help decrease their size although I've been using tretinoin for a bit now an haven't noticed them getting smaller, if anything they look larger so maybe it depends on the person

Try a chemical peel. I do one every month and it keeps my pores looking small (almost non-existent) and my skin smooth. Check out makeupartistchoice.com there are also youtube reviews on it. good luck :)

Use a salicylic acid cleanser and lotion if your skin can tolerate it to keep pores clear. Use a toner and mask your face regularly to tighten pores. And a integrate a Vitamin C serum and a sunscreen into your routine to protect your skin from environmental stressers than can break down the collagen in your skin, thus losing skin elasticity that can stretch out your pores esp. when you get older. Prevention is always easier than having to fix it after the damage had been done.
