Enlarged pores
  • Is there anything that can reduce the size of enlarged pores on the face?
  • I think a good astringent should help. Do you use a toner? I heard witch hazel is good, I don't know how true that is but you can try it.
  • Also hating and even noticing "enlarged pores" is largely due to marketing because companies want you to buy more products. I think some people's natural pores probably vary in sizes but I am no scientist.
  • Unfortunately your pore size is what it is Ebony. You can use products like BHA's (beta hydroxy acids) to exfoliate the skin and keep the pores looking as good as possible. They may appear somewhat smaller, but the actual size is genetically determined.
