Any suggestions for tightening facial cream for oily/combination skin?

[lostinabook]

I am 41, have fairly large open pores and oily/combination skin prone to single mega zits rather breakouts. I am a chunky lady so my face has some plumpness but despite trying various pore reduction creams but am after some sort of tightening...realising it is only ever temporary!

Any suggestions?

Nothing will tighten them as they have no muscle etc. You could try retinol to boost the skin plumpness, you can also keep them as clean and unclogged as possible (chemical exfolitors) but I’m not convinced anything will tighten pores.

I wondered about retinol but find skincare pretty overwhelming

Try niacinamide and zinc serum am and pm, and salicylic acid mask a few times a week.
