What can you recommend for minimizing pores?

I know you can’t get rid of pores but I’m wondering is there anyway to make them smaller? I use La Roche Posay products. They keep my acne mostly at bay but I feel like my pores are just so large. Part of it is genetic, but just wondering if there’s anything else I can do at home to help. Thanks!

The Feathered Friends Khumbu Down Parka boasts the highest warmth-to-weight ratio of all the winter jackets in our review. It weighs only 2.11 pounds, yet it provides more warmth than any other jacket in our view except the Canada Goose Expedition Parka, which is equally warm but weighs more than twice as much. Purpose-built for technical expeditions to the world's highest peaks, the Khumbu Parka packs in the features for expedition climbing. It has a seamless hood that fits over a helmet, insulated handwarmer pockets, secure velcro cuff closures, and adjustable drawcords to keep warm air in and cold air out. This jacket is meant to be unnoticeable in a pack and provide life-saving warmth when needed. 
In general, this jacket is overkill for all but the most extreme conditions. We tested this parka on mountaineering trips all over the United States. We found that it's uncomfortably warm above 15 degrees Fahrenheit, even with no other insulating clothing worn underneath the parka. This jacket is designed for the coldest conditions on earth and would be a good winter jacket for those living in arctic climates. The Pertex Shield exterior fabric is not as durable as other options nor as water-resistant and will allow water to penetrate during soaking rain. That said, this jacket is not meant to be worn in temperatures anywhere close to the freezing point. Instead, it's the ideal choice for the coldest conditions and tallest mountains, places where snow and ice rarely melt.

Seattle-based Feathered Friends is a small company that specializes in premium down products, and they manufacture most everything in the Unites States. We love their lightweight Eos for cool weather, but the heavyweight Khumbu Parka is about as warm as it gets. Most importantly, it’s absolutely jammed with high-quality down: 13.3 ounces of 900-fill goose down to be exact. And you also get thoughtful touches like PrimaLoft Gold synthetic insulation around the collar, reinforced elbows, and a handy two-way zipper.

The reason the Khumbu Parka is ranked here and not higher is its limited appeal for daily use. It’s true that you can wear this jacket on the streets of Chicago or Boston in the depths of winter, but it’s most at home on big-mountain summits and for uses like high-altitude mountaineering. At the end of the day, more casual options like the Mountain Equipment Lightline Eco and Patagonia Fitz Roy below have a cleaner look and wider appeal for considerably less, but the Khumbu Parka clearly wins on warmth and down fill.See the Feathered Friends Khumbu Parka
