The question cut off before I was through!! It was supposed to say, "What did you do to shrink the pores?" I don't know where, "What's it like?" came from.

I am dealing with the same thing. It's puzzling to me. It's nice to see I am not alone. I have not found anything that made a difference.

I have found a product that is absolutely fantastic, and you don't have to wait weeks to see rusults! A product that does what it says, and everyone has noticed my skin, and how my pores have shrunk. It's not the cheapest, but it is the one of the only ones that has the needed 7.5% of Alpha-Hydroxy Acids. L'Oreal, Visible Difference. It's well worth the $17.00! And I've tried alot of creams.

I have been plagued by large pores since high school. The only thing I recently found that helps shrink my pores is retin-a. My pores I think are large because they are clogged with blackheads, and retin-a really helps them shrink.

I have suffered from large pores since i was a teenager. I have found the best thing for me to use is Mary Kay level 3 of everything. The deep cleanser cleans my pores really well to help prevent whiteheads and blackheads. Then 2'x a week I use the mask that you put on and it shrinks the pores. I put it on and then about 10 to 15 minutes later wash it off w/ warm water. When you look at your face before washing it off, the mask hardens and you can see the little oil spots from it soaking oil out of the pores to shrink them. I also use the toner and moisturizer. But the cleanser and mask are a must have for me for pores and the toner is a must have or i'm pizza face. you can check out the mary kay website for a consultant. I do sell mary kay also but it would probably be easier to find someone in your own area. best of luck
