    Interested to find if anyone has a good answer for this.

    Never had any problems myself until the last year or so, and now have large pores around my nose.

    Not really sure mine can be diet related as I cook everything from scratch, each range of fresh fruit and veg, no junk, and additionally take various vitaimns/minerals for good measure.

    I also drink a ridiculous amount of water - over 3 litres per day last time I measured.

    I'd love to know any solution to this problem as it has definitely been bothering me of late.

    You cannot reduce pore size :(

    What you can do is make them look less visible

    Mostly large pores when you have oily skin in because the pores are just clogging up with the oil and sebum

    You need to cut down the oil production

    That means the most gentle of cleansing routines. I use the ocm because its cheap, but there are many commercial ones out there to choose from

    I like Emma Hardie and adore Decleor

    After a few weeks your skin will become more ' normal' so pores will be lest noticeable. Then a good primer and foundation will help , using light deflectors etc

    Spending out for top of the range cosmetics before you win the oil battle is really money wasted
