I'm worried about my pores. I don't think it used to be this bad.

Lately, every time I look in the mirror, I feel troubled by the pores on my nose and butterfly zone. I don't think it used to be this bad, but at some point, I could clearly see my pores widening significantly. It is especially stressful because my pores aren't covered properly when I apply makeup in the morning, and the foundation settles into creasing as time goes by. Even when I try applying famous primers, they actually look messier and cakeier after a while.

I’ve been trying cooling packs at home, and I’ve been consistently using clay masks and pore pads. However, it’s not working. It seems to shrink for a moment right after washing my face, but it quickly returns to its original state after just a short while.

Do you happen to have any skincare products or home routines that you have seen real results with for shrinking pores? Or, I am really curious to hear reviews from those who have seen results after getting dermatological treatments (like Potenza or Fraxel).
