How can I minimize pores?

Laser & skin creams can help improve your pores
Multiple Modalities of Treatment
1. Skin Care
2. Microdermabrasion
3. Botox
4. IPL
5. Ablative lasers
6. Low Level LED light
7. Combination of all of the above
Really multiple ways of treatment and the best solution depends on the individual requirements.
Reducing Pores
Collagen remodelling improves the appearance of pores. There are lots of lasers for skin resurfacing.
The most impressive will be the combination of a laser skin peel immediately followed by an ablative fractional resurfacing laser.
Over a longer time and a series of trements the non fractionated, non ablative lasers for skin resurfacing will provide some improvrment albeit, not as drammatic as the frationated ablative lasers.
Intradermal Botox - Reduces Pores and Smoothens Skin
Intradermal Botox Injections (Botox injected into the skin) is a safe and very effective way to shrink pores and give skin a tightened tone. Skin looks smoother and has a "matte" appearance after the injections. No down time is involved and results last 4 - 6 months.
Enlarged pores can look much better when treated with natural astringents. Astringents work to contract skin tissue and close pores.
Make sure to choose botanical (not synthetic) astringents, which are not drying and can be used on any skin type.
My top favorites are witch hazel, roses, citrus essential oils (lemon, grapefruit, orange, neroli), and cypress. You can also try alum, cherry bark, or gingko.
A pore minimizing toner and treatment products are perfect, like the Biore line. Even a good old-fashioned Queen Helene mud pack masque is fun and effective.
