of our skin and are visible in the form of larger or smaller holes. Dilated pores most often appear in people with oily skin. The appearance of skin pores is largely a question of genetics, skin type and home care. A balanced diet, avoiding excess sugar, making sure to drink at least two litres of water a day and being physically active are of course important, but they will not directly reduce the appearance of pores. In order to eliminate the problem, it is worth introducing products with active pore tightening ingredients into daily skin care - AHA acids (mandelic, glycolic, azelaic), BHA (salicylic acid), retinol and its derivatives, zinc or niacinamide (vitamin B3) are excellent.
