Dilated pores

Pores are the outlets of hair follicles and our sebaceous glands. They are a natural part of our skin's structure and are visible as larger or smaller holes. Dilated pores most often appear in people with oily skin. The visibility of skin pores is largely a matter of genetics, skin type and home care.

Balanced diet, avoiding excess sugar, making sure you drink a minimum of 2 litres of water a day and being physically active. These things are obviously important, but they will not directly reduce the appearance of pores.

To eliminate the problem, it is worth introducing products with active pore tightening ingredients into your daily skincare routine. The following are excellent AHA acids (almond, glycolic, azelaic), BHA (salicylic acid), retinol and its derivatives, zinc or niacinamide (vitamin B3).
