For me, Tea tree products by The Body Shop are a lifesavers! I use Skin clearing lotion and Pore minimiser on my fece every morning and pores & shine are just a memory :)

If you wrap an ice cube in a paper towel and get it slightly wet then wash you face then rub the ice cube wraped in a paper towel across your face it should clean pores and reduce pore size

If your face is also oily then you could cut a mini lemon in half and freeze it. Then go wash your face. Then wrap the frozen lemon half in a paper towel and get it slightly wet and rub it across your face then it should cleanze your pores and reduce there size since lemons are a natural cleanzer (thats why cleaning products are lemon scented since lemons were used as cleaning products before chemical cleaning products) also ice reduces pore size (but its never safe to put ice straight on your face) but caution if you use this recipe too much then it could dry out your skin and lemons can also whiten your skin. Think of the lemon juice as a chemical use it carefully and only a little bit.

Look for Michelle Phan's egg facial, its supposed to help tighten pores. Also, bubzbeauty's chocolate facial works too. And I dunno if this only works for me, but using olive oil over my moisturizer tends to reduce the size of my pores. I dunno. Maybe its like lip gloss, the shine distracts the appearance of pores and wrinkles. And don't worry, like my hair, my face sucks up the shine and I look normal by lunch :)

Try using the Wonder Pore Freshener from Etude House. It has good reviews. :)

Green tea works as a good toner so I recommend looking for a gentle green tea cleanser for your face. Here's a link to the benefits of green tea for the face: http://www.livestrong.com/article/110870-green-tea-topical-benefits/

Use natural scrub or natural toner. avoid toner which contains alcohol because it can dry your skin...
choose scrub which contains sugar or seeds...

I use korres wild rose exfoliating face wash and wild rose face serum, and although they don't claim to reduce pore size I've seen a huge improvement! Give it a try! :-D

If you need immediate reduction in the appearance of your pores you should use the Benefit Pore Professional, it's really good, but it is pricey. It won't reduce them, but they won't be visible when you put this on your face. Now, if you want to actually reduce your pores rather than just making them seem reduced, then try a DIY turmeric face mask. Usually they consist of a bit of turmeric, plain yoghurt if your face is oily or acne prone (if not, then regular milk) and a bit of honey or extra virgin olive oil for moisture. That's the most basic one, there's also lots of other stuff you can add, but that's the main gist of it. Look up some DIY turmeric tutorials on youtube :) Another thing you can do is find a foundation, and they are usually the more expensive, high end ones, like Shiseido's Perfect Refining Foundation that helps with pores and acne scarring. While I was using this and also Dior's Nude Foundation, my pores practically disappeared. Hope this helped.
