Pore Refiner?

8 replies

Porley · 13/10/2020 11:20

Does anyone have any recommendations for pore refining products please?

I'm in my mid fifties, and my skin isn't too bad generally. But I've noticed lately that the pores, particularly on my chin, seem much more noticeable and enlarged.

Grateful for any information/tips. Thank you 🙏

I find that pretty much any primer helps with this. This one is good and cheap! (Always a good combination)

Niacinamide is supposed to be good for refining pores especially if the skin is oily, also retinol.

Thank you @Anotheruser02. Will look into that.

Estée Lauder Idealist is a pore refiner. I really like it. I’ve just bought the 50ml, which was £56 (I got 20% off as I bought it on one of the big online beauty sites) - I really rate it. I don’t know what the active ingredients are in it, but if you could find out, you could maybe buy them separately.

Thanks @WellTidy. Have you used it before?

I’ve used it loads. They’ve made it for maybe 12 years, possibly longer. It leaves my skin really smooth and finished.

Another vote for primer here. There's an £8 one in boots and a £65 one from By Terry and both give amazing results instantly. I don't think any oils creams or treatments will seriously make the pores smaller
