I use Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque once a week...it is my HG!
I also strongly suggest a daily toner and weekly exfoliation.
(I use Neutrogena Pore Refining Toner, and the Avon Anew Micro exfoliant)
If you use this regimen you will need a good oil free SPF moisturizer - make it your best friend.

How often you use a product depends on how comfortable your skin feels about it. The instructions may say "use 2-3 per week" but if 1x is enough, then stop there. If you like using it 2x per day...well, be careful, but whatever your skin tells you, listen to it.
You cannot "shrink pores". You can make them less visible by keep them super-clean (bacteria and dead skin - OUT) and keep sloughin' off those dead skin cells and turnin' over new ones. That's all you can do.
I am having SO much fun with Vitamin C products right now. I'm fighting FREE RADICALS. It's ridiculous. I'm using philosophy's microdelivery peel (I think that's what it's called: with the jar of Vitamin C crystals and the bottle of salicylic acid gel). Then I'm using the stuff by "JASON"(?) called "instant facial" right after that (that's 2 facials in a row people...) AND MY skin is LOVING ME for it. My pores DEFINITELY look smaller.
Then there's this stuff *I* LOVE by JOEY New York "Pure Pores Blackhead Remover and Pore Minimizer Gel". TOTALLY random...received it in a swap and was like - o.k. - whatever. Tried it. LOVE IT! Warning: I think so many people hated it, and had SUCH bad rxn's to it, it may have been DC'ed - but I think these people didn't "listen" to their skin and just applied it on places they didn't need to...like where you don't have a HUGE pore issue...just my opinion. I have THE most sensitive skin and my skin and I LOVE it.
And I am digging papaya(?) enzyme masks at night - either the ones you leave on overnight (ARCONA) or rinse-off after a few minutes (H2O+). Manufacturer recommends these 1-2x per week. Ah. I do it when I need a pick-me-up. Day, night, whatever!
All of us can tell you all kinds of things in terms of brands, but in the end, it's going to be a T&E thing for you - pay attention to ingredients, the ratios/%, etc, but I it's time well-spent. Once you figure out what works/doesn't work, you don't have to say this brand or that brand, just look for the ingredients that your skin liked.
I'm a product-whore so this method works for me. Some people have their "HG's" and are very loyal. I have "HG" ingredients to which I'm loyal.
Ooh. One thing about the clay mask you're using (or any clay-based product)...they're designed to "suck" stuff outta you, which is great...in some places, but dehydrating in others. Open up those pores (a little steam does the trick,duh) and place it where you need it (like, on your nose only) and treat the rest of your face accordingly.

I second that!! I haven't used it for a long time but I remember it cleaning out my pores and making my face feeling tingly and clean. For toners, I have been using Clinique Clarifying Lotion 2 for about 7 years now. Love that stuff! Cleans like no other.

I love Juice Beauty Green Apple Peel.
It's mask with antioxidants and after this your face is glowing
And also remove dead skin cells as a peeling.
After this one you have to be careful and not to go on the sun without a high sun-factor cause contain hydroxyl-acid complex.

I find that with just water, it dries up and crumbles too easily...ends up being a bit messy. If I do use just water, I jump in the shower right away and let the steam open up the pores a bit before I wash it off.
