Concerned about broken pores in this weather... Do you have a skin barrier management product that you trust and use?

How's everyone managing their winter evening routine? I just washed my face and looked in the mirror, and I was so shocked to see my pores were more saggy and enlarged than usual. It was so cold, and I'd been indoors too exposed to the heater, so I could feel my skin's elasticity plummeting. In times like these, foundational care is more important than simply moisturizing. So, I whipped out my current skin barrier care product and applied a generous layer, but I suddenly became curious about what other people use. I feel like my current skin barrier care product alone isn't enough to combat this extreme dryness. Are there any definitive skin barrier care products that can quickly soothe sensitive skin and tighten it from the inside out? It's a peaceful evening, and I'd love to peel a tangerine and relax, but just thinking about my skin in the mirror makes me lose sleep. If you have any valuable routines or secrets, please share them with me...
