If I live in a polluted city, is there any facial mask that is proven to filter some—most?—of the pollution?

Let's say that moving out is not an option :)

I use this [0] GVR mask when working around concrete dust, and I've found it to be very comfortable and effective.

That doesn't directly answer your question about urban particulates and PM 2.5, but if you read its specs and it sounds appropriate, I can recommend the product.
