Hi, can anyone recommend a good product to minimise pore appearance on the face? Will a primer do the same thing?? thanks

Clinique do a fab pore minimiser.... Its a nude colored silicone type gel. I swear by it

I've actually heard of that one but have never tried it, will be doing so now, thanks!! I think they are replacing this product with another one that's not as good by the way, did a bit of a look up on google

:eek:!!! It's on the list for payday splurges next week so! - Hope they still have the 'old' one in stock.
Thanks for the heads up!

Benefit are also meant to have a similar one, haven't tried it though...

The benefit pore perfecter is a bit meh to be honest. I did notice a difference in the apperence under makeup but without I thought my pores looked enlarged. The urban decay potion for face (can't remember the name) was amazing.
Recently started to use La Roche Posay Efaclear duo and i think i've found my holy grail product. Really notice a difference on the pores on my cheeks just beside the nose. Using it two months now and i'm so impressed.

I have that La Roche Posay stuff too, it's amazing! I also use the cleanser for oily skin, and the toner. It's pricey enough, but well worth it. Most other stuff just dried out my skin or made it worse.

I use a Smashbox primer, the oil free version, and love it. It's 38 euro though:eek: but does last a good while. I've heard that Gosh have a really good primer similar to it though for 18 euro cheaper.

After years of battling my large pores and blackheads I found my HG product Retin A and it's really working.
I've been using it for about 2 months now and I'm very impressed with results.
My skin care routine is very simple now, I wash my face every morning with La Roche Posay Physiological Cleansing Gel, apply Olay Complete Care moisturizer with spf 15 for oily skin, and then oil free foundation.
I've been looking for a light moisturizer and this lotion ticks all the boxes besides it's non pore blocking ( when using retin A you have to wear spf).
In the evening I use the same gel to remove my makeup, follow with either La Roche Posay or Vichy Micellar Solution Water and after 30 minutes apply my wonder cream (retin A).
I really recommend this treatment to anyone with acne, open pores and blackheads, as a plus it's helping me fight first signs of ageing,
I'm 26 and finally satisfied with my skin.

The Soap and Glory pore related products seem to get great reviews. I haven't personally tried them yet, but many people swear they are as good as more expensive their counterparts.

I love the smashbox photo finish too. I've never bought it for full price though, last time I got it I paid only 17 euro for it because it was 40% off on an aer lingus (I think...) flight.

Beauty Emporium have the 2oz tube of it for €40, thats twice the amount you get in the regular bottle.
