The secret? Keep your pores clean so they’re less apparent, choose skincare that will firm up your skin, and go for makeup that promises to blur and conceal large pores. From cleansers to exfoliators and setting powders, we round up 10 pore-minimizing beauty finds you need to keep on your arsenal.
All Clean Balm (P850) from Heimish
The first step to achieving a pore-free complexion is ensuring that your face is completely clean every night. This oil-based cleanser easily removes every trace of makeup so you’re sure that there’s no unwanted residue clogging your pores. Its gentle formula is perfect for sensitive skin, too!
Magic Stone in Black (P400) by April Skin
A cult-favorite, the Magic Stone is a two-in-one product that can be used as a mild cleanser and mask. The black version is made with a blend of nourishing ingredients like fresh green mud that draws out dirt, charcoal that detoxifies, shea butter that deeply moisturizes, and hyaluronic acid that keeps your skin supple and hydrated.
Super Volcanic Pore Clay Mask (P650) from Innisfree
At least once a week, treat your congested skin to a clay mask that purifies and draws out the impurities that clog your pores. This best-selling mask contains Jeju volcanic clusters that promise to control sebum production and minimize the appearance of pores. Plus, it leaves you with a visibly brighter complexion.
Black Kill Pore Cleaner (P720) from W-Lab
Say goodbye to painful nose strips and go for this easy-to-use pore cleaner that targets stubborn blackheads. It’s made with charcoal that absorbs dirt, seawater extract that balances skin, and menthol for a cool and refreshed sensation. The best part is its handy brush tip that clears all the gunk sitting in your pores with care.
Bio-Peel Gauze Peeling Wine (P1,000) from Neogen
These exfoliating pads gently (but effectively) slough away dead skin cells, leaving you with noticeably fresh and clean skin.

Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% (P680) from The Ordinary
Don’t let this product’s name intimidate you! The Ordinary’s well-loved serum boasts a high concentration of niacinamide or Vitamin B3, which is known to reduce the appearance of pores, uneven skin, and dullness, while balancing oil production. Zinc, on the other hand, helps reduce the appearance of fine lines. The serum is safe enough to be used twice a day and with other skincare products except those that contain vitamin C so they don't cancel each other out.
