Is it really possible to shrink pores with cosmetics? Please share your own home care methods.

Every time I look in the mirror, I see the pores on my nose and cheeks getting bigger and bigger, and it's stressful. I see a lot of social media ads for products that promise to completely eliminate pores with just one application, but honestly, they seem like exaggerated claims... I'm hesitant to buy them because I doubt they'll actually work.

If you don't have a procedure, do it at home Has anyone tried any of these home care methods to shrink their pores? Even if they don't disappear dramatically, I'd like to at least prevent them from getting bigger. If you've tried cooling packs, pore-tightening toners, or other methods that have proven effective, please let me know!

I use a primer, especially when applying makeup, to prevent foundation from getting stuck in my pores, but I'm worried that this will clog my pores and cause breakouts. Is it okay to just cleanse properly, or is there a special base makeup technique that minimizes the appearance of pores? I urgently need some tips from fellow pore-prone skin types!
