If you have oily skin, you'll know just how excess sebum can enlarge the look of your pores. This shine control gel will keep your skin matte and regulate sebum production and by doing so; refine the look of pores.
It doesn't work for hours on end (though I wish it would) if you're constantly in a humid environment like I am but it did help my skin look less shiny.
I went for a couple of hours without looking like I just fried buckets of chicken. I also use this for those party days. Good for those nights on the town when you don't want your T-Zone to outshine your personality.
Get this for US$14.50 at Clinique.

Excess oil coupled with humidity and sweat can make pores look larger than they actually are. Although there is no way to actually shrink the size of your pores, there are products that can help make them looker smaller than they actually are. After all, we are all subscribers of illusions and perceptions.
I don't use makeup or anything close to it (unless it's for Halloween). So I had reticence when I was recommended this at the Clinique counter. The nice French lady assured me that this had no color and it isn't makeup even though it might seem like it. Again, perception.
There were 2 different shades to choose from and I picked the Invisible one which blends quickly into your skin and starts working from there. My skin stayed matt longer and I didn't look like I spent the last 8 hours frying shoe-string fries (which unfortunately for me, is a usual occurrence).
I am digging the fact that it resists sweat and humidity which makes it ideal if you live in a tropical climate. And of course, it doesn't last the whole entire day but there is a visible improvement or lack thereof of shine.
Perfect for those days where you wished your pores would stop being such attention whores.
Acne and sun exposure leave behind dark spots and cause uneven skin tone. These dull the overall appearance of your skin. I got this when I realized how visibly uneven my skin tone was and I was determined to fix that.
After years of battling teenage acne and reckless sun bathing, I was left with physical reminders of those times and I am just not a fan of souvenirs of such kind from the past.
With daily use, this serum evens out skin tone and breaks down dark spots leaving a clearer, radiant complexion. My spots lightened in about 2 weeks and I continued to see improvements in my skin tone week after week. I started using this once daily but now I have amped it up to twice daily. Faster results!

Clinique Even Better Skin Tone Corrector 30ml/1oz for US$45 at Strawberrynet.com.
After my success with Clinique's Total Turnaround Visible Skin Renewer, I was eager to give this night cream a more thorough whirl. I've used this before here and there but never really dived into it until a couple of weeks ago when I picked up a jar at the store.
I was looking for something richer; something that would help reverse the harmful effects of my time spent in the sun and also hydrate the drier parts of my skin continuously.
My skin was instantly hydrated from this rich cream which helped eased the discomfort around the flaky, dried-out area over my chin. This cream is packed with vitamins and antioxidants to help stimulate new cell growth and boost skin's natural repair cycle. My skin looked brighter, became softer and despite those nights when I don't get enough sleep, I still woke up with healthy looking skin.
This would be a good moisturizer for the drier and colder parts of the year and would serve very well those of you who sleep with the A/C on at night; which makes it perfect for year-round travel.
Get this for US$48.50 (1.07oz/30ml) at Sephora.
One of my closest pals asked me to bring a bunch of stuff back home for him (because I had the huge suitcase) while we were vacationing in Bali and this moisturizer was among one of the few items. He told me to feel free to use it and I am very glad I did.
From the first application, I noticed a difference. My skin was brighter, smoother and looked better. I was throughly impressed. This cream is like a mini-exfoliator of sorts, by rushing fresh new cells to the surface and in the process, improving your complexion. My skin looked more refined and even toned after a week of daily usage.
The light, grainy texture goes on smoothly and doesn't dry out or cause breakouts. Use this after your daily moisturizer. It's not just me who noticed a difference. On the second day I used this product, I was told I was glowing twice and both parties demanded to know what I was using.
Now this is a keeper and I don't want to give it back! Get this for US$36 (1.7oz/50ml) at Nordstrom.
