1. Face masks
An editor favorite: If you put makeup on and can see every nook and cranny, the Drunk Elephant T.L.C. Sukari Babyfacial ($80, Sephora.com) will go a long way in improving the texture of skin. It’s amped-up with both alpha hydroxy and beta hydroxy acids, making it slough off dull, dead skin cells while refining and toning pores for a truly glowy, taut effect. Try it at night once a week. (We also love this pimple mud, which can be used as an acne-treating mask!)

2. Microneedling
In office treatments such as microneedling, a procedure that uses sterile needles to poke tiny holes in the skin, work to energize skin and help refine pores, and Greenberg likes to use it to help combat wide-open pores. You can also try an at-home device such as the GloPro MicroStimulation Facial Tool ($200, nordstrom.com), which incorporates red LED light therapy to combat inflammation.

3. Primers
If you’re worried about pores, try using a primer, which will help to even out skin texture and ensure that makeup goes on silky and smooth. Greenberg likes Laura Geller Spackle Under Make-Up Primer ($19, ulta.com), which has skin-protecting ingredients such as aloe vera gel and antioxidants like white tea extract.
4. Powder foundation
Try a powder foundation, rather than a liquid, if you’re concerned about your pores. While these do tend to provide a sheerer coverage, they’re also buildable and can help to cope with excess oils. Greenberg recommends L’Oreal Paris True Match Super-Blendable Powder ($7, amazon.com).
