I'm considering pore care and I'm curious about reviews from those who have received the treatment.

Lately, it feels like all my skin concerns are concentrated on my pores. I've always had somewhat noticeable pores on my nose and cheeks, but recently they stand out even more when I wear makeup, and my skin texture looks rough, which has caused me a lot of stress. I feel like my pores are particularly emphasized when I'm under lighting or taking photos, so these days I find myself only looking at people with good skin.

So recently, I’ve been looking into all sorts of things regarding pore care, but there are so many types that it’s actually making me more confused. There are tons of home care products, as well as various treatments like extractions, lasers, and dermatological procedures, so I’m posting this to hear from people who have actually seen results.

I tend to have oily skin, so I think I have both blackheads around my nose and enlarged pores. I've tried using pore care products like toners, serums, and masks consistently, but while they do make my skin look better momentarily, I don't really notice any long-lasting results. It bothers me a lot, especially when I wear makeup; as time passes, it looks like the product is settling back into my pores.

Because of that, I naturally became interested in dermatological procedures. For those of you who have received pore care treatments like Fraxel, Potenza, InMode, or radio frequency, how satisfied were you actually? I’m curious about the real results, not just promotional reviews. I also want to know if you can feel a difference in skin texture after just one session, or if you need to do it consistently over several treatments.

I am also curious to know how much the redness, flaking, and skin irritation subsided after the pore care treatment. My skin isn't extremely sensitive, but it does turn red when irritated, so I am most worried about the recovery period. Since I work, I am also a bit self-conscious about it being too noticeable.

I'm also curious about good ways to manage my pores at home. I'm confused because opinions differ on whether I need to cleanse more thoroughly or if hydration is more important. Some people say that excessive extraction actually enlarges pores, while others insist on sebum control, so I can't figure out what to do.

Honestly, people say that just having cleared pores makes your skin look so much cleaner these days. So, I’ve really started to want to try proper pore care this time. I’d appreciate recommendations from anyone who has had a good experience with pore treatments or home care products. I would be especially grateful if you could let me know about any treatments that offered great value for money.
