SCMP Reporter

Large pores are the result of excessive oil secretion. Apply pore refining products before your face cream  for less visible pores and  a matte finish.

Bioscreen Ginkopure Shine Control Lotion (100ml/HK$95)

The lotion  is rather sticky and takes a while to  sink in. It reduces oil secretion but only  a little.  It doesn't reduce or tighten pores.

IPSA Essence Pore Less Effector (13ml/HK$260)

This product is quite dry.  But the scent-free cream  noticeably reduces pore size. It is an excellent product which is suitable for all skin types.

Bliss Sleeping Peel Serum (30ml/HK$590)

You can feel this serum's skin-tightening effect every time you use it. Although it's a bit drying,  its  pore-minimising effect is brilliant.  But it is  rather pricey.

Anna Sui Pore Refiner (80g/HK$215)

This  effectively  removes excess oil and grease  from the face.  Apply at night and  skin feels refreshed the next morning. Prolonged use can help minimise enlarged pores and remove pore-clogging impurities.

Dior HydrAction Pore Refining Essence (20ml/HK$300)

Gives the skin a smoother, matt finish - the effect is immediate. Can be worn  without makeup - to take the shine off your face - or as a primer under makeup.
