Pore reduction?

Sort By

Before I go out and splurge on any pore reduction products, I wanted to hear any suggestions of what you all use or have heard good things about. I find the older I get, the larger they are becoming and it's annoying haha! I was thinking of trying out the clinique....but if any of you have any tips or tricks or other suggestions, please let me know :)

Try the Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque - I & THOUSANDS of people swear by this stuff!!

I've used it before, but had totally forgotten about it LOL. Thanks for reminding me :)  

I hear a lot of good things about Benefit's the PoreFessional primer, and if you can get to sephora there's a product called Pores No More (I'm sorry, can't remember the brand name) that my friend uses that works like crazy!

I use Benefit's Porefessional and I love it! My friend who doesn't wear any makeup at all even loves it! =P

Thanks Dylan and Sara, I really appreciate the input :) I'll definitely check it out!! 

I definitely love the mint mask, and my Clarisonic has greatly improved the texture of my face. A good vitamin C serum can help too. I'm currently using the Ole Henrikson one, but I've seen DIY recipes on makeupalley as well.  =)

I'm actually saving for one of the clarisonic's Soma! I've heard such wonderful things about them :) Thanks for the vitamin c serum tip, I'll definitely do a search for a DIY recipe :)

If you get the Clarisonic, go ahead and get the MIA [I think that's the cheapest one?] - I have the PRO, and to be completely honest, I've NEVER played with any of the other speed/rotation settings. Ever. I've had mine for a good 6 months now, and I've had plenty of opportunities using it every other day. It's really the brush head that counts... so no need to go fancy unless you want to try it out for yourself.  =)

That's so funny, I was just watching a review of the MIA on youtube and they said the same exact thing. I was looking at the Olay ones, but I'd rather splurge because I know I'll get some use out of it :)

I have pores the size of planets so I just recently bought the Seaweed Face Wash, Toner, and Day Cream set at The Body Shop. The sales woman told me it's supposed to minimize pores and even your skin tone. I bought it because there was a sale for $25 for those three products. Usually they are like $14 each. Maybe check those out? I'll let you know my results after using for a bit.

I've been using the Clinique serum for about 3 months and it works great for me! After using it for a few days I noticed that my skin looked smoother & healthier, and about 2 months in I noticed that my pores appear smaller & my skin is no where as oily as it used to be. I use one squirt everyday in the morning and I still haven't run out!

@Alyssa Thanks for the rec....I actually haven't used Body Shop in so long (I hate going to the mall...ours are always so busy lol), but I'll look into that. I need a good face routine (clinique 3 step isn't doing it for me anymore). Let me know if you see any improvement? :)

@Safiya I am SOO glad to hear this...I don't like to wear a lot of makeup on my face if I don't have to, but as I get older my pores get bigger lol. I'll be picking some of the clinique serum up for sure then :)
