Enlarged Pores Skincare Products

Unlock the secret to a smoother, more refined complexion. At Paula's Choice Skincare, we believe in targeting the root causes of enlarged pores with research-backed solutions. Our collection of pore tightening products goes beyond temporary fixes, working to gently remove dead skin cells, clear away dirt and excess oil, and smooth skin's texture. Each formula combines soothing antioxidants with targeted oil-reducing ingredients, crafted to help balance shine and minimise the appearance of stretched, larger pores.

Genetics

The size of your pores, along with the number of oil glands you have, is largely determined by your genes. If your parents have more visible pores, it’s quite likely you will too.

Aging

As we age, our skin naturally loses collagen and elasticity. This causes the supportive skin around our pores to lose its firmness, making the pore opening sag and appear larger than it once did.

Excess Sebum Production

When your sebaceous glands produce an excessive amount of oil, this sebum can mix with dead skin cells and debris, leading to a buildup that engorges and distends the pore. This consistent internal pressure can then cause the pore to appear visibly larger.

Sun Damage

Prolonged and unprotected exposure to UV rays breaks down the vital collagen and elastin fibres in your skin. This loss of skin laxity contributes to pores appearing larger over time, as their supporting structure weakens.

Inflammation and Acne

Chronic inflammation, repeated breakouts, and especially the habit of picking or squeezing pimples can damage the pore lining and surrounding skin. This trauma can unfortunately lead to a permanent enlargement of the pores.

Hair Follicle Size

Sometimes, the size of the hair follicle within the pore can contribute to its visible size. This happens more often when facial hair is naturally more prominent or thicker, influencing how noticeable the pore opening appears.

Smoother, More Refined Skin Texture

When pores appear smaller and less prominent, your overall skin surface looks and feels noticeably smoother and more even. This visibly enhances your complexion's natural beauty, giving it a more polished appearance.

More Even and Brighter Skin Tone

Minimising and refining pores helps to reduce the accumulation of dull, dead skin cells and debris that often clog them. When pores are clearer and less noticeable, your skin's natural luminosity can shine through more consistently, revealing a more uniform and radiant complexion.

Reduced Likelihood of Breakouts, Blackheads and Whiteheads

Smaller-looking pores are often a clear indicator of less congested pores. This naturally reduces the tendency for blackheads, whiteheads, and breakouts to form, paving the way for clearer, healthier-looking skin.

Improved Makeup Application and Longevity

Achieving visibly minimised pores transforms your makeup routine. Foundation and concealer will glide on with remarkable ease, seamlessly blending across your skin without settling into enlarged openings to give you a flawless finish that holds throughout your day.

Pore Reducing Cleanser

Start your journey to refined pores with our Pore Normalizing Cleanser. This salicylic acid cleanser works diligently to dissolve pore-clogging impurities like excess oil, dirt, and makeup. Its gentle formulation also makes sure to clear your skin without stripping your skin, leaving it feeling fresh and clean.

Pore Reducing Exfoliant

To truly get to the root of congested pores, an effective exfoliant is key. Our 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant is a gentle leave-on exfoliant that’s been formulated with salicylic acid to deeply penetrate into your pores, dissolving built-up dead skin cells and excess sebum. By clearing out this debris, it prevents pores from becoming engorged, making them appear visibly smaller and smoother.
