CAN A PORE MINIMIZER EFFECTIVELY TREAT LARGE PORES?

If you have oily skin, most likely you have large pores on your chin, cheeks, and forehead area. Improper removal of blackheads and pimples (by pinching) causes pores to become more enlarged. So what’s the best treatment? In some cases only microdermabrasion or chemical peel by a physician can reduce the size of facial pores and improve the skin’s texture.

In less severe cases, professional-strength, pharmaceutical-grade skin care products formulated specifically for diminishing pore size work well when used consistently. Don’t expect overnight results, but if you follow one of the following at-home skin care regimens for treatment of large skin pores, you should see favorable results in three months.

DAILY REGIMEN (Not recommended for persons on Accutane, Retin-A, or other prescription strength skin preparations)
