Giant pores - recommendations?!

[extracrunchy]

I'm getting an increasing amount of huge open pores on my face... Can anyone recommend a really good product to help? Preferably one that goes a little way to solving the problem, rather than covering up or filling the holes!

Something with salicylic acid. Try Nutrogena Pink Grapefruit exfoliating scrub, and Bravura London's acid peel products. Clay masks also good, Mudd branded or Superdrug do own brand ones.

I've got pores you can park a car in and keeping skin super clean by double cleansing makes a bit if a difference. But not much

Avon skin perfector disguises thm ompletely however and keeps skin matt

Oooh I'm glad you posted here Cybb. I knew you were a pore expert and I started a thread recently looking for you for your latest recommendations. So, how can I get Avon products if I don't have an avon lady?

Dermalogica Gentle Cream Exfoliant and Elemis Papaya Enzyme Cream both make a big difference to my pores - they look much smaller and cleaner afterwards. I wouldn't say they're a permanent solution though, I have to use them twice a week or my pores just clog up again.

Minty I think you can order avon online now, like regular online shopping. hth

Yes you can get avon online, on amazon and on ebay

The face perfector works miracles on mine, even though I know they're still there when I take it orf

Could someone post a link to the Avon stuff. I can't find it. Thanks.

I use a microfibre cloth and Lacura serum and they are literally disappearing before my eyes and not coming back. This has been the first thing that has ever worked for me.

You need Lanacane anti chaff gel - marvellous stuff and cheap as chips and word on the street says it's the same as Smashbox primer.

Wrt your pores, I doubt they are getting bigger but I expect you are focusing on them more as the beauty industry will have us believe that everyone should have skin like an air brushed model. 10 years ago no one was even aware pores could be a problem

valium I'm intrigued to know how the Lanacane anti chaff gel helps as I've just read about it and it is (as the name suggests) to prevent chaffing! I have huge pores too and would love to find a miracle product, though am starting to resign myself to the fact that they'll always be there. Having said that, I have just ordered a clarisonic, which I'm hoping will be my miracle product! Though it did break the bank!

I have tried loads of primers and it's the best!! And only £6 for a tube! Look up the reviews they are amazing! My make up stays from dawn to dusk ( well, nearly) now!

Where do I buy Valium?

Heh heh ^

I can just imagine a Daily Mail journalist taking that quote out of context and using it against us

Arse.

I have had a clarisonic for 1 week - so far so good - skin feels clean and looks better. Off to google lanacane though...

Get your mitts on Queen Helene Mint Julep masque, it's a proper pore shrinker.

Any chemist will sell Lanacane, I got mine from Boots. Use sparingly or it will 'peel' - you only need a pea sized amount.

Look out for Lanacane in Poundland - I got two tubes in there six months or so ago. None in at the moment but worth checking.

It's good, I wouldn't say amazing, but better than Benefit Porefessional which I've gone back to this week to give it a second chance and it does nothing for me.

I would link to another primer that is good for pores but I've fallen out with the brand, so won't

Sorry, I'd feel mean not to share - it's MUA matte perfect primer.

I've heard very good things about Bioderma Pore Refiner...

According to interest fresh orange juice plus bicarbonate of soda in a paste used as face mask. Cheap alternative but don't know if it works.
