Anybody have any ideas/suggestions how to shrink large pores? I have tried the masks, the at-home microdermabrasion kits, egg whites, nothing helps!! The pores on my cheeks are so big. It seems like each pore is about the size of a ball-point pen tip. Its so embarrising. Makeup just sinks right in to them, making them look larger. Anyone found anything that helps?
Thanks

Honey . . . try Queen Helene's Mint Julep Masque . . I have used it a few times and I can already see a difference . . . either leave it on for hours while you are awake and not doing anything or put it on about a half hour before you go to bed and wash it off when you wake up!!!!! PLUS . . it's CHEAP . . good luck!!!!!

:wave: If the large pores are caused by clog pores then microdermabrasion and mask will clean it out and the pores will be smaller looking. Nothing will ever make the pores turn back to what they were once use to before we had acne though. If you were makeup and that stuff gets in the pores you are actually making the pores bigger so make sure the stuff you use does not clog pores have have some really good make up remover and face wash.
If the pores were caused by acne in the pass. Many times it is not big pores it is actually more than one pore breaking into each other when we get those big acne and when we squeeze them they pit and on cheeks were we got the most pores they pit into several pores. The pores do not regenerate itself after it is broken in. Sorry, but nothing will make them smaller only microdermabrasions can smooth out the skin texture giving a nicer appearence. Mask also helps tighten the skin and get the oil out.
Queen helena mint mask is good too but if you are looking for something stronger try mask that have 10% sulfur, and skin care with 5-10% glycolic acid. I do not know what skin type or how your skin looks so these are things that do work and they might be strong if you have sensitive skin. I got the same problem with big pores on the cheeks. For some people who have extreme pitted pores injection of collagen helps a little to fill the side skin of the pore but it is not going to help on all pores as the area can be too smal for the injection to make a difference. The technic of the doctor is also very important. I think most of use especially those who gets acne on the cheeks all got big pores...
