We’ve also put together a short buying guide to help you choose the best pore product for your skin. Our pros say to look for products with ingredients that help reduce the appearance of pores. Here's what to prioritize:

This is by far the most important criterion. "When dead skin cells build up in the pores, they make them appear much larger," says dermatologistDr. Amy S. Ross. "Choosing a pore minimizer that contains chemical exfoliants like fruit acids or physical exfoliants like jojoba beads will help minimize that build-up," she explains. A lot of our favorites include exfoliators, such as the Paula's Choice Resist Daily Pore-Refining Treatment and the InstaNatural 7% Glycolic AHA Toner Hydrating Ingredients

A clay mask is a must when it comes to minimising the look of large pores and Fresh’s Umbrian Purifying Mask is the crème de la crème. The mineral-rich mask contains Umbrian clay, which helps to balance, purify and clarify, as well as a whole host of natural, hydrating ingredients, including sandalwood, chamomile flower and lavender water, to help soothe irritated skin. The results? A clean and balanced complexion that looks close to poreless.

Uses: Reducing the appearance of pores, absorb excess oil, or smoothing the skin for foundation application After two minutes the device will buzz to indicate 'Step 1' is complete and the device has turned off. Farmacy is really making its mark in skincare for its effective formulas and natural-leaning ingredients, many of which are farmed by the brand themselves. This swipe-on toner aims to clarify the skin and therefore minimize pores in a gentler way. It contains a low percentage of salicylic acid to dissolve oil, as well as gentle fruit enzymes to shift dead cells and soothing botanicals for a multifaceted daily treatment. Ingredients that are 'pore minimizers' simply help pores appear smaller by exfoliating your skin, unclogging pores, and preventing sun damage," says board-certified dermatologist Dr. Marie V. Hayag. Whether it's a toner, serum, moisturizer, or mask, she recommends products containing retinoids, niacinamide, AHAs (alpha-hydroxy acids), and salicylic acid (beta-hydroxy acid or BHA).Pores are just a fact of life, and no product or procedure will effectively get rid of their appearance. That said, we know of some standout skincare formulations that can make them a bit less glaring.
