I have large pores

I'm wonder what I can use for large pores? Would like any advice thank you. 

Re: I have large pores

 Unfortunately, you can't actually permanently reduce pore size. Pores are usually due to oily skin and/or aging. Products with retinol, or exfoliants (like Glycolic Acid, AHA/BHA, or Lactic Acid) can clear your pores, which will help to keep them from getting clogged and becoming enlarged.  Some products you may want to try if you have oily skin are OLEHENRIKSEN Balancing Force™ Oil Control Toner 6.5 oz/ 193 mL , The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating and Brightening Daily Toner 8 oz/ 240 mL , Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Exfoliating Toner for Clear Skin , or SEPHORA COLLECTION Clarifying Peel Pads . You could also try something like the Hanacure mask, or an egg white/egg cream mask, which can provide temporary tightening

If your pores are due to oily skin, I'd recommend a good oil-free moisturizer like Caudalie Vinosource-Hydra Moisturizing Sorbet 1.3 oz/ 40 mL  or Jack Black Clean Break™ Oil-Free Moisturizer 3.3 oz/97 mL 

Final tips - a pore-targeting primer, like Benefit Cosmetics The POREfessional Pore Minimizing Primer   or Smashbox Photo Finish Oil-Free Pore Minimizing Primer 1 oz/ 30 mL    can help minimize the appearance of pores. For foundation, a matte foundation works best for issues with pores. Avoid any make-up that is "radiant" or has "light-reflecting" properties in the area of concern, as that will actually accentuate pores.
