| The only thing I'm aware of is Vitamin A, but I never stuck to those strong vitamin A products that make my skin peel and flake. I know it's suppossed to go away eventually, but my skin is kinda sensitive and it always felt too irritating for me. Recently I bought a product called Vitamin A Retinol Wrinkle Gel by roberts research laboratories, It's a big 7.5oz tube for less than $7. It has Retinyl Palmitate, which is the weakest form of vitamin A, I was skeptical when I bought it because of that and the price, but I'm really surprised to see my pores do look smaller, because I too have large pores on my face in the T-zone area. It doesn't irritate my skin and was a good price so I'm happy with it, but I wish they made it without the dye and fragrance. The fragrance isn't bad and goes away quickly, but I prefer products without it. I've also heard aloe vera can make pores look smaller, though I've not tried it. |

Hawkman564, large pores can be caused by dirt, oil and dead cells clogging pores and stretching them out, so deep cleansing masks and exfoliation so as to keep the pores clean can slowly allow them to shrink. Initially they may appear large because they are now empty of clogs...but if you keep it up so they don't fill up again, they eventually shrink down.
Here's some info from dermatologists:

| Try steaming for 5 minutes every morning with a few drops of Vitamin E oil. I noticed a major difference after the first week of trying this and it's not apart of my morning routine. |

| The personal microderm really helped to reduce my pores. |

Ditto, what Nonie wrote.
It took a while, but my routine (see below in my sig, though I should update!) is what has worked for me. I think the movement (ocm), coupled with good exfoliation & skin turnover/renewal (micro-fibre/vitc/retinA/ghk) has finally paid off.
Its not necessary to use ALL those products, that's just what I happened to be using for various reasons. My skin used to be quite congested, and these days is way more even and refined. You could probably just do ocm/microfibre and the occasional lactic acid treatment and make good progress. |

frognkisses has a good suggestion. Since I started using a microdermabrasion machine, I definitely noticed an overall improvement in my skin, including the thickness of my pores.
The only problem is they can get kinda expensive. |
