You can reverse almost any physical shortcoming these days. The exception? Pore size. Good news for beauty buffs: There’s a fresh crop of slick gels, creams, and serums that render pores nearly invisible (trust us — we tried them). Whether you’re looking for a quick cover-up or a long-term skin-smoothing solution, these three products will save some face.

Maybelline Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser
The clear, fragrance-free serum feels like a thick oil as you massage it into the skin (just a small dab should have you covered). It dries within 30 seconds for a smooth, soft finish. Brush foundation or powder on top and watch the dots blur together.

Available at maybelline.com, $7.

Dr. Jart+ Pore Medic Pore Minish Primer
This citrus-scented gel smells clean for a reason. A combination of mushroom extract, lemon and orange peel oils, and eucalyptus leaf oil tightens and de-gunks clogged pores (a.k.a. blackheads). Hyaluronic acid keeps the skin hydrated yet matte-like throughout the day.

Available at sephora.com, $32.

Lancôme Visionnaire 1 Minute Blur
Disbelievers, set your timers. This powdery wonder lotion diffuses fine lines, decreases shine, and Photoshops out imperfections in exactly 60 seconds. Your face stays smooth for hours — with makeup or without. Bonus: Anti-aging ingredients (retinyl palmitate and vitamin CG) target wrinkles at a deeper level.

Available at lancome-usa.com, $55.
