I feel like my pores are getting wider. Is it possible to improve this with home care?

In the past, my skin looked quite smooth after applying makeup, but lately, the pores on my nose and cheeks look particularly more prominent, so it's stressing me out. Especially when I look under the light or up close in the mirror, it seems like my pores have gotten wider, so it really bothers me.

I tend to cleanse thoroughly and use a clay mask once or twice a week, but I'm frustrated because I haven't seen as noticeable a change as I expected. I'm not sure if it's because I'm losing elasticity as I get older, or if I'm just taking my skincare routine the wrong way, haha.

I've heard a lot of people say that you eventually need professional treatments to treat pores, but have any of you actually seen results with just home care? Please recommend any ampoules, pads, or masks that you used consistently and were satisfied with!
