Let's get something straight: Following a checklist on how to unclog your pores won't get you very far. You cannot erase or eliminate your pores. Love them or hate them, pores are a structural layer of your skin that will always be there. If you want to know how to minimize pores, though, I've got you covered—just keep your expectations realistic.

You can focus your attention on removing excess dirt and oil from your pores, which will, in turn, make them appear smaller. A skincare routine that includes the best pore vacuums, the best at-home chemical peels, and one of the best cleansers for combination skin is a solid start. But there are also a ton of dermatologist-approved tips to get out all the gunk and make your pores look less noticeable. Lucky for you, we've spoken to the experts and meticulously laid out how to minimize your pores ahead.
