You've tried various pore care products; which one was the most effective in the end?

Over the past few months, I have become very interested in pore care and have been trying out various products. However, while the advertisements claim they are effective, there are many times when I don't actually notice a significant difference.

So, I suddenly became curious. For those of you who have been doing pore care for a long time, which method did you find most satisfying in the end? I am curious whether expensive products are more effective, or if consistent care is more important.

I've also tried various products like toners, serums, and face masks for pore care, but while my skin looked better temporarily, I didn't feel like the pores themselves changed noticeably. So, I'd like to hear a more realistic review.

I suspect that many people started pore care specifically for their skin texture, so I am curious to know if it actually improved as well. I’ve heard a lot of people say that once pores are refined, the skin looks cleaner overall.

Also, have any of you seen results from lifestyle changes in addition to the product? I am curious if things like drinking plenty of water or increasing sleep time actually help with pore care.

I would like to hear honest stories from those who have invested time and money into pore care. Please be sure to let me know if there is a product or routine you were most satisfied with. I think this will be a great help not only to me but also to others who are concerned about their pores.
