Looking to decrease size of pores

I'm age 41 with combo skin (oily T zone) looking to decrease the size of the large pores on my cheeks, nose, and forehead, while avoiding products with irritants--I'm very fair and my face will ra ... Read more

1
Ultra Gentle Face Gel Hydrator for Acne-Prone Skin Neutrogena - Ultra Gentle Face Gel Hydrator for Acne-Prone Skin
Use as often as you'd like, and at least twice per day. In the morning, apply it before your sunscreen. Let it sink into your skin first - it might take 1-5 minutes because of the rich texture of this product.
2
Sheer Zinc Mineral Sunscreen Stick Broad Spectrum SPF 50+ Neutrogena - Sheer Zinc Mineral Sunscreen Stick Broad Spectrum SPF 50+
Use every day before going outside, even if it is not sunny. Sunscreen is the last step of your morning skincare routine. You can apply makeup on top of it.
3
Azelaic Acid Suspension 10% The Ordinary - Azelaic Acid Suspension 10%
Use your azelaic acid product once per day, either in the morning before your sunscreen or at night, before your moisturizer.
4
Skin Renewing Vitamin C Serum CeraVe - Skin Renewing Vitamin C Serum
You can use this product either in the morning or at night, before your moisturizer or sunscreen. You can use it daily, but, in case you notice signs of irritation, reducing the application to every other night might help.
AM - Once a week
1
Salicylic Acid 2% Solution The Ordinary - Salicylic Acid 2% Solution
You can apply this product either during the day or at night, before your moisturizer or sunscreen. You can also apply it as a spot treatment only - as in directly on inflamed blemishes or in the area where you get clogged pores. We recommend that you use the product no more than once a week on larger areas of your face. More frequent use can result in skin irritation.
PM - Everyday

Hydro Boost Hydrating Gel Cleanser with Hyaluronic Acid, Fragrance Free Neutrogena - Hydro Boost Hydrating Gel Cleanser with Hyaluronic Acid, Fragrance Free
Use a generous amount of product to remove all dirt, sunscreen or makeup in one step. There is no need to double-cleanse. It is a good idea to always finish cleansing with a splash of clean water to remove any residue from the cleanser. Most people only need to cleanse their skin with a cleanser once per day, at night. It is the first step of a night skincare routine.

Ultra Gentle Face Gel Hydrator for Acne-Prone Skin Neutrogena - Ultra Gentle Face Gel Hydrator for Acne-Prone Skin
Use as often as you'd like, and at least twice per day. In the morning, apply it before your sunscreen. Let it sink into your skin first - it might take 1-5 minutes because of the rich texture of this product.

Restore & Renew Multi Action Face & Neck Serum No7 - Restore & Renew Multi Action Face & Neck Serum
Use this product up to two times per week, either day or night, on clean skin. Follow up with your moisturizer or sunscreen.
2
Adapalene Gel 0.1% Acne Treatment Differin - Adapalene Gel 0.1% Acne Treatment
Start slowly with this product: it can be irritating, but your skin can adjust to it with time. It is best to start using this product only once a week for the first few weeks. Mild dryness is normal when starting using a retinoid. Once your skin is able to tolerate the product well, you can increase the frequency of use to twice, and even three times a week. Make sure to apply a moisturizer regularly when using this product. Apply this product on clean skin, before a moisturizer. Most people prefer using this product at night, but it can be used in the morning as well.
