Large pores oily skin

[lililan]

Hello everyone, I’m new to this group and would love yalls opinions and recommendations. These past 2 years I’ve noticed my t-zone pores have gotten much larger. I have tried many primers, concealers, foundations and setting powders. I can’t seem to find something that works for me. I was my face every morning with a cleanser, apply oil free moisturizer, primer, foundation, concealer, finishing powder followed my all nighter setting spray. When I’m done my pores seem under control. 2 hours later I have to use 1-2 oil absorbing sheets and pores are already standing out. My the end of my day, I have used the sheets 3-4 times throughout the day. Makeup is cracked and moved and pores look extremely obvious. Can someone who’s experienced something similar help please! When I was younger my face would look flawless and now that’s all I want!

You have beautiful skin!!! I have the same insecurities and working on trying to stop being so critical of myself. The last thing I’d ever notice about you was pores (I personally don’t see any! ) you are gorgeous!!! At the same time I relate though, and when people tell me “I’m imaging it” I get frustrated. I know my pores are dilated from picking when I was younger (and still now at times 😕 )

What exact products do you use? Something is drying out the skin causing the excess oil to try and rebalance, moisturize, the skin. Skin will suck moisture out of other products, as needed.

@lililan I had that same problem except my skin isn't super oily it is a little in the t-zone area but i live in an extremely dry area. I have tried every mask with little to no results or they would be smaller for only a short period them get super large again. Recently i have tried DRUNK ELEPHANT - T.L.C. Framboos™ Glycolic Night Serumand I'm not even kidding after one use i noticed that my pores have shrunk. Ive only been using it every other night because i also have very sensitive skin and don't want to make it irritated but its definitely helped me and i have noticed my skin isn't as oily anymore. Hope you find something that will work for you.
