    Use facial pads with witch hazel. The witch hazel has astringent properties as well as moisturizing properties. Your face will love you for it

    The only way I have found is to use a product from Paulas Choice. It is not an alpha hydroxy acid, but a glycolic acid that can go beneath the gunk and flush it out. Maybe its available at a better price, make sure it is exactly the same ingredients and %.

    And don't try extractions yourself or you may end with spider veins, and they are not that pretty either.

    Warm water to open your pores up and cold water to close them. Just have to use a good cleaner for your face.

    You can't get rid of them. What you can do is keep them clear of a build-up of sebum. The cleaner your skin, the less visible the pores will be.

    You can shrink them temporarily with an astringent toner.

    You can't get rid of pores.... they're supposed to be there and your body is covered with them, It's how skin works! I assume you mean BLOCKED pores. You need to clear the blockage... simple as that. You should clean your skin thoroughly, steam your face, and then squeeze the gunk out... then make damn sure it doesn't build up again. There are a zillion youtube vids showing you how to do this.

    The only way is by flaying, but proverbially and literally, that'd be cutting off your nose to spite your face. Hey, do what you want, though. It's no skin off my nose.
