I have tried a lot of products for my large pores but can't seem to find one that really works! Any suggestions? I have tried the nip+fab line, biore, peter thomas roth AHA/BHA gel, tony moly, and say yes to grapefruit.

What do you want to do to your pores?

Paula's Choice makes multiple BHA formulas that are more targeted than a hybrid product like PTR. CosRX makes a betaine salicylate product than you can find on Amazon if you find BHA in its original form too intense.

I have large pores so I'm looking for products to help shrink them as well as keep them clean. Thank you Leuca

You may just have unrealistic expectations for any product. you can't actually shrink the size of pores, all you can do is make them less noticable by clearing the gunk in them and the dead skin cells over them that can make them darker/more noticeable. make sure your skin is well hydrated and if you are not already exfoliating 2-3x a week I would introduce an exfoliant into your skin care to smooth the skin. if you are exfoliating already make sure you're not doing so too often and causing the skin to stress out.

I use an activated charcoal cleanser, then I use this pore minimizing formula from esteè lauder, it's the only pore minimizing thing I can swear by, it's kinda expensive so maybe you wanna get a sample first

It's called Idealist pore minimizing skin refinisher.

Hey, I have bigger pores and have tried a lot of different skincare products that claimed to help minimize their apperance but none of it worked. I tried several of Paulas choice products and they addressed other skin care issues but not my pores.

Recently went to the derm and she prescribed me a prescription retinol. With my health insurance, it's way cheaper than over the counter retinol and it actually works. My pores and skin texture look so much better and acne (period flare-ups) are gone too.

If you have health insurance, I seriously recommend that you go to your derm.
