Is an ampoule or a cream the most effective way to shrink pores?

I am writing to ask how to reduce the ball.
I'm confused because some people say the serum is good, while others say the pads are better.
I'm also wondering if using the serum and pads together makes it more effective.
I want to know if applying cream along with it is excessive, or if it is a necessary step.
Please recommend any products or routines that you have actually seen results with for shrinking pores.
I am also curious about what ingredients in a serum help with pores.
Please let me know if there are any precautions or frequency requirements when using the pad.
I'm curious if moisturizing alone with a cream helps with pore care, or if special ingredients are necessary.
Please share any simple tips you have, such as lifestyle habits or facial cleansing methods.
If anyone has had similar concerns, please let me know if you have any experiences or tips.
