Fail. Pore size, like almost everything else about your skin, changes because of plenty of factors (chiefly hormone production and balance). When (not if, because it will) your hormones do change with age, so does your metabolism, insulin sensitivity, hair, eyesight, and skin. Some people just have the right conditions on the surface of their skin and within their pores (overactive sebaceous glands) for the pores to be clogged and acne to be formed.
1. Insulin, being the mother of all hormones, is central to all of your body's major functions, including testosterone, which causes skin problems when too much of it is converted to DHT. So, there are theories around suggesting that a diet akin to a diabetic will help your skin. It works for some and and doesn't for other I've personally found eliminating wheat from my diet has helped considerably. See the holistic/diet forums on acne.org for some details.
2. Low dose accutane over 18 months is a miracle. Will clear you up and you won't have the side effects. Some people stay continually on it (at 5-10mg/day you are not at all risking your health unless you're a female of childbearing age or heavy drinker).
I took a regular dose of Accutane, and it cleared me, but the oil stayed. I eliminated wheat and started taking Saw Palmetto, and my oil cleared. Now you wouldn't be able to tell i ever had skin problems.
