What the hell can you do about open pores?

Just been looking at my skin, as you do of a Saturday night Blush and noticed yet again I have noticeable open pores beside my nose to half way across cheeks. I don't have oily skin, it's pretty normal, but I think the pores really let it down. Anything I can try? Clarisonic etc? I have tried benefits porefessional, which is only ok, and I guess they look a bit better with make up on.
Thanks oh knowledgeable ones

Try benefit porefessiomal, it's about £25/tube but it works instantly it's great!

The same problem, nothing you can do unfortunately just keep pores as clear as possible. When applying foundation do so in a downward motion, it will really help hide the pores. Also when cleansing skin an applying moisturizer apply in upward motion, to help clean pores, hope this helps.

Neutrogena blackhead eliminating cleanser - the 7 day one - is the business. i use it all the time and will never use anything else now. Is magic on pores and blocked pores - is often 2 for £5.

Gluten/wheat free diet can help - do you have redness and/or spots in that area? Any little broken veins around the edges of the nostrils too? It could be Rosacea...

If it's an inflammatory response to wheat/gluten you would see a big difference within a few weeks of changing diet. Worth a try maybe?

Clinique sent me a sample of their Pore Refining Serum which I believe is tightening my skin. It tingles when you put it on bare skin...like a good toner would.
