Questions & Answers

Q: What causes pores to appear enlarged?

Enlarged pores can be caused by compromised surrounding skin, the build-up of dead skin cells, or large oil glands associated with the pore.

Q: Why is sunscreen important for minimizing pore appearance?

Sunscreen is crucial because UV light can damage the collagen framework of the skin, leading to enlarged pores. Recommended sunscreens include Dermatology Broad-Spectrum SPF 45 and La Roche-Posay Anthelios 60 Ultra Light Fluid.

Q: Can moisturizers lead to clogged pores?

Failure to use a moisturizer can result in a compromised skin barrier and dryness, which can make pores more prominent and prone to clogging. Oil-free moisturizers like Red Earth's Deep Dive Water Cream and MYFREEDOM Aqua Fluid are recommended.

Q: How can salicylic acid and retinoids help diminish pore appearance?

Salicylic acid unclogs pores and clears cellular debris and sebum. Retinoids help break up skin cells within the pore and train them to behave properly. Products containing these active ingredients include Your Good Skin Rapid Rescue Treatment and La Roche-Posay Effaclar Serum.
