Retinol or a retinoid can increase collagen production, says Butler, so if you have enlarged pores and skin laxity due to aging, look for a product that contains one of these anti-aging powerhouses.

If you’re looking to reduce the appearance of pores, there are several factors to keep in mind in the product you choose. Here’s what to consider. Ingredients An ELLE editor says: “I am not afraid to admit that while I fully believe that Biologique Recherche’s P-50 works, I’m also a little scared of it. Of course I want to use a product called “Jesus in a Bottle,” but I also sometimes want something a little gentler but also effective. I consider this to be like baby P-50 or “Baby Jesus In A Bottle,” I guess you could call it. It contains just about every ingredient you’ve heard that’s good for your skin: Vitamin C, Retinol, Antioxidants, Multi-Hydroxy Acids, and Vitamin E. Unlike P-50, it is also not irritating and has an almost silky texture and works over time to give brighter skin and the appearance of tighter pores.” — Kathleen Hou, Beauty Director, ELLE
