Top 10 Pore Minimizers

Afraid of what you see when you look in the mirror? Those big, gaping holes? Well, they’re called pores and pore minimizers are all the rage right now so you’re in luck. Here’s a list of the Top 10 Pore Minimizers that are making waves. (And I threw in some of my own picks.) These are products that are for any age and any budget.

1. Proactiv Clear Purifying Mask, $20 at www.proactiv.com

Well, Proactiv has done it again. This time they have a new Clear Purifying mask on the market. This goes on clear (hence the name) and shrinks your pores and clear your skin. I was a Proactiv user (until I became a “Philosophy girl”) so I rest assure that anything they come out with will work just as well as their 3-step kit.

2. Philosophy Microdelivery Exfoliating Wash, $15 at www.philosopy.com

As a “Philosophy girl”, I love this product. It’s gentle yet it makes your skin feel so smooth after you use it. You’ll feel like you just had a facial.

3. Clarisonic “Mia”, $149 at www.sephora.com

This product has been making waves at QVC, Sephora, and Allure magazine. If you really want to clean out your skin from make-up, oil, and debris, then this is the product for you!

4. Clean and Clear Blackhead Eraser, $19.99 at www.drugstore.com

A cheaper version of the “Mia”. This has a vibrating motion to exfoliate dead skin and dirt and reduces the appearance of pores.

5. Neutrogena Wave Power Cleanser, $11.99 at www.drugstore.com

 

  

  

 Clean and Clear’s rival, Neutrogena, came out with their own vibrating cleanser. This deep cleans and has two different speeds.

6. Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash Pink Grapefruit Scrub, $5.99 at www.drugstore.com

The smell is so tantalizing that you will forget about it’s deep scrubbing properties.

7. Clinique Acne Solutions Mask, $19.50 at www.clinique.com

This clay mask helps blemishes, prevents break outs, and unclogs pores. You’re skin will be shine-free.

8. Joey New York Blackhead Dissolver and Pore Minimizer Gel, $25 at www.qvc.com

This is something I’ve been having my eye on…This “1 minute gel” rolls away blackheads and impurities. It’s good for aging skin and is a must for any skin care kit you’re using! It helps blemishes and prevents future break outs.

9. La Roche Posay Effac Matte Moisturizer, $25 at CVS

This oil-free, fluid, ultra-fresh emulsion instantly melts on the skin and moisturizes thoroughly without increasing oiliness. The skin immediately looks matte and velvety, thanks to a texture containing both absorbent microspheres and smoothing fibers. Ciblage Sébum technology targets and deep-cleanses pores clogged with sebum; sebum-regulating vitamin CG and zinc counteract shine at the source; antioxidant vitamin E inhibits the sebum-stimulating effects of external irritants. Day after day, the pores are tighter, the complexion is brighter, the skin is more balanced.
