Not just the "look" of larger pores but is there a skin care product that actually minimizes them?

Believe it or not, the Glopro is the best for this with continued use. Just keep using it and you basically dont feel it anymore. It is amaing with skincare. Changed my skin significantly!

Retin-A will make pores smaller over time. BHA and AHA will also help. Microneedling is another way to minimize pores. BHA, such as Paula's Choice 2% BHA liquid, is one product I can suggest. BHA is a better than any other kind of skincare acid...BHA has the ability to enter and clean out 'pore sludge' which can make your pores bigger.
Differin, similar to Retin-A, is also formulated to address pore health. Both RA and Differin were created just for pores.
At the professional level...laser resurfacing treatments will definitely shrink your pores, too, along with smoothing out fine lines, wrinkles and tighten skin.

Keep your face and your pores squeeky clean. They are less visible if they're clean. I have found that after years and years of using a retinol, they have shrunk and are not as noticeable as they were in my 40's.

I've always found bumping up my greens & chia seeds
always has a positive affect with skin /pore quality.
Increase the blood flow & everything benefits.

@monicakm If pores are kept clean and empty from debris, they appear to be and can be "closed". What helps? Non-alcohol toners after cleansing to make sure all makeup is removed. Regular exfoliation...I prefer chemical over manual (less damage from manipulating skin) and yes, Retin A (or strong concentration of retinol) which exfoliates, plumps skin, as well as other benefits.

I have found using the Clarisonic has dramatically helped my pores. I used to always have some small blackheads lingering around the nose and chin. Now I don't have any. In fact I found one after my last cruise (didn't pack the Mia) and was like WHAT IS THAT doing there?? So shocked. So I think it's a great tool for pore mainenance. But also everything else that's been mentioned here must work too. I just mention a tool in case you don't necessarily want to change your skincare routine.

Thanks everyone. I don't have a problem with large pores but I know as we get older, that can happen and I'd like to (try) to head it off. My mother is 81. She has a flawless complexion. She uses a few products but the one thing I remember her using since I was a teenager (I'm 61) is powered milk (lactic acid). I don't think the woman has pores! lol
