I'm stressed because my pores look so prominent lately. Is it possible to reverse this...?

I'm worried because my skin condition looks really bad these days.

In the past, my skin looked smooth when I applied makeup, but lately, the more foundation I apply, the more my pores stand out and my skin texture looks uneven…

When I look closely, it feels like I can see every single pore, so I get stressed and lose confidence every time I look in the mirror.

The pores on the sides of my nose and cheeks seem to be getting wider, especially, but I'm not sure if this is just temporary or if they are actually sagging...

I'm even more confused because when I look online, some say that once pores enlarge, they never shrink, while others say they improve with proper care.

I'm trying to consistently use things like toner packs, pore serums, and clay packs, but I'm not sure if they are actually effective.

I'm worried that trying this and that might just make things worse... I'm also debating whether procedures like lasers or chemical peels are a sure solution. The cost is a burden, so I can't easily make a decision.

If there are any of you who, like me, were stressed about enlarged pores but saw improvement, could you honestly tell me which method was truly effective?

I am really curious about how much can be achieved with home care, or if I eventually need a procedure to see noticeable changes.

I feel like my condition is getting worse, so I'm really anxious...
