If enlarged pores and visible congestion are your concern, our powerful yet gentle range of skincare for pores will leave your complexion visibly clarified — without irritation. 

Here are some of the vital ingredients in Medik8’s pore-refining skincare line that target enlarged pores:

  • Salicylic Acid — As a beta hydroxy acid, salicylic acid delves into pores, dissolving oil, debris and dead skin cells that enlarge them. This clearing action minimises the appearance of pores, promoting smoother skin.
  • L-Mandelic Acid — This pore refining ingredient gently exfoliates the skin by shedding surface dead skin cells. This helps reduce clogs that enlarge pores, resulting in a refined complexion.
  • Lactic Acid — This ingredient breaks down bonds between old skin cells. This promotes exfoliation, lessening the accumulation of debris and diminishing pore size for smoother skin.
  • Niacinamide — Also known as vitamin B3, this ingredient balances sebum, preventing excess oil that stretches pores.

FAQs

What causes pores to become enlarged or clogged?

The primary causes of enlarged facial pores include:

Can large pores be permanently reduced?

Unfortunately, large pores cannot be permanently reduced because pore size is largely determined by genetics. However, their appearance can be minimised through consistent skincare practices. 

Using skincare for clogged pores may help balance sebum — with regular use, skincare may help promote smoother-looking skin and can improve the appearance of overall skin texture.

Should I exfoliate my skin if I have clogged pores?

Absolutely. Regular exfoliation aids in eliminating excess oil and other impurities that potentially lead to pore blockages. It’s important to use a gentle exfoliant, such as our Pore Minimising Tonic, to support the skin's natural exfoliation process.

Can clogged pores lead to other skin problems like blemishes?

When pores become blocked with dirt, excess oil and dead skin cells, it creates an environment where bacteria can thrive, leading to blackheads, whiteheads and blemishes. Investing in skincare for clogged pores can help prevent these issues and maintain clearer, healthier-looking skin.
