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 OLFA LA-X stands apart from the competition on account of its long blade &#40;3.25"&#41; that is scored to allow the top section to be broken off to expose a sharper tip section. The blade's length offers a real advantage when cutting along a feature such as a straight edge or in a slot. Conversely, when precision work is required, simply retract the blade to its shortest setting to increase rigidity. Moreover, the handle's rubber inlay combined with the flaring shape enhances the grip and, thus, the cutting control.   
While the LA-X is a practical tool, often one owned in conjunction with a traditional utility knife, it is not without some shortfalls worth mentioning. For starters, the blade carriage is made of plastic which is not nearly as durable as metal. The blade lock is also a bit flimsy. We did not experience any issues with these parts; however, we would not recommend this model as a stand-alone for heavy use. With that in mind, when you need the extra blade length or a fresh edge in quick order, reach for this tool.

Used one of these knives for a long while and bought a second on Amazon for a backup/lender unit. Right way noticed that the molded plastic blade holder on the new unit was loose but did not worry about it. First week on the job, the blade and plastic holder fell out on job somewhere, couldn't find it, $10 down the drain because too late to return. If your little black plastic blade holder doesn't click in sharp and tight, return right away

Blade holder loose on new knife , fell out on job, lost, of no use, did not return soon enough.

  I've seen solutions like this, never on a $10 knife though.  As for the locking mechanism, I think they really hit the nail with this one, it happens automatically as the knob is spring loaded and you never have to think about it.  My advise, if you're an occasional user who's not relying on the knife for heavy duty work, buy it and you won't regret it.  If you're a pro user, there are other solutions out there that are sturdier and more efficient, but not for $10

Great Knife, Good buy - but...

Sturdy, well-designed utility knife; Locking mechanism not for heavy-duty use.

Good holder with some caveats

Great knife, costs a bit more, but does more.

It's a good knife. I use an Olfa at work and love it but when I bought one for myself, I made the mistake of not getting one with the tightening/locking wheel (Idiot!). Really wish I'd had payed more attention as that wheel is the main reason I like them so much. So my suggestion is to avoid this model and get one of the other models that has the wheel
