Skin cycling has helped me with this. Us oily skinned people do tend to have pores on the larger side, but if you keep them unclogged you can reduce their appearance!
Iโm not sure if youโve heard of skin cycling before but it works in a 4 night cycle as such:
Night 1: Exfoliate
Night 2: Retinol/Retinoid
Night 3+4: usual night routine, give skin a break from exfoliating and retinol/retinoid then repeat the cycle
And during the day you can use a pha toner or pad since it is a type of acid that is safe for day time use and wonโt cause photosensitivity. Itโs safe to use daily every morning but you could stick to like 2-3 mornings a week when you already do some night time exfoliating.
Iโll tag the three products I recommend for each purpose :)
BOJ green plum toner: my night exfoliating toner for night 1
Good Molecules gentle retinol cream: my night time retinol cream for night 2
Benton pha toner: my morning pha toner that I use 3 times a week

To be fair in certain lighting, skin will appear more porish.
Niacinamide is great to keep the pores clear and as naturally small as you were born with.
Laser resurfacing may produce smaller pores too

I have always had skin texture and I got sent a Vitamin C serum to try and it made the biggest difference in my skin texture. I got baby smooth skin from it and saw better results than with chemical exfoliation like AHA and BHA. So I'd definitely recommend using a vitamin C serum but nonetheless still try a chemical exfoliation. Retinol can also work wonders in renewing the skin and improving the skin texture. I will link the two serums I like down below and I hope this helps ๐

Yes ๐๐ผ Vitamin C can be used on every skin type since it is an acid and doesn't primarily focus on hydrating the skin but rather fix the complexion and texture of the skin

You need vitamin C serum and a good spf & it eventually improves the dull skin and brightens your skin
