"When dead skin cells build up in the pores, they make them appear much larger," says dermatologistDr. Amy S. Ross. "Choosing a pore minimizer that contains chemical exfoliants like fruit acids or physical exfoliants like jojoba beads will help minimize that build-up," she explains. A lot of our favorites include exfoliators, such as the Paula's Choice Resist Daily Pore-Refining Treatment and the InstaNatural 7% Glycolic AHA Toner Hydrating Ingredients Marie V.

Put simply, pores are little openings of the outer layer of your skin where natural oils from the body come out to help moisturise the skin. Everyone has pores, but on some people they are more noticeable than others. What types of pore minimisers are available? We love an all-around product. This toner will minimize pores while improving skin texture and encouraging cell renewal. It’s formulated with alpha hydroxy acids to gently remove dead skin cells, unclog pores, and reduce the appearance of fine lines, as well as the brand’s proprietary nutrient-rich liquid Pitera, which is designed to boost skin softness and smoothness. Beta hydroxy acids (BHA s) are common in pore-minimizing products because they do everything from boosting skin cell turnover and dissolving oil to banishing breakouts and preventing premature signs of aging. I know firsthand just how annoying clogged and enlarged pores can be. That’s why my medicine cabinet and the Best Products beauty closet are filled with what feels like thousands of pore-minimizing products, so I can help you find the best ones. I consulted skincare experts for their go-to pore minimizer recommendations, and based on their tips, I carefully researched other options that are aligned with their guidance.You also want to make sure you're in a good routine with cleaning your face and exfoliating—unclogging the gunk and oil will make your pores appear smaller. But don't forget to go gentle here—you don't want to scrub so hard or wash your face too much that you cause inflammation and redness. The good news is that there are a long list of ingredients that can work to minimize the appearance of large pores, says Dr. Melissa Burnett, dermatologist at Premier Dermatology. First there are alpha hydroxy acids, or AHAs, which you’ll commonly see listed as glycolic acid, lactic acid, citric acid or malic acid. There are also beta hydroxy acids, or BHAs, the most common of which is salicylic acid. You may also see topical retinoids such as over-the-counter adapalene or retinols, or prescription strength tretinoin or tazarotene, amongst other things. We've established that pores can't be permanently shrunk, but that pore minimizing is indeed possible. How so? Because pore minimizing simply means reducing their appearance to the eye. This can be done by keeping your pores clear of any debris that would make them appear larger or by using blurring makeup to temporarily (and often very effectively) smooth over their appearance. In the longer term, products and treatments designed to increase collagen production such as Ultherapy can help create a firm and well-supported skin structure that will also minimize pores.

Makeup products typically use silicones to blur the skin and create a smoother canvas. In skincare, alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) and beta hydroxy acids (BHAs) should be your go-to. "Salicylic acid is great if you’re looking to reduce the appearance of congested pores. It works by breaking down the bonds between dead skin cells so that they can release from the pore more easily, and breaks down oils, such as sebum," explains cosmetic doctor, Dr Parisha Acharya.According to makeup artist Victoria Stiles, enlarged pores and oily skin typically go hand in hand. To combat both, she recommends products containing retinol and vitamin E. "Retinol will gently exfoliate the skin while Vitamin E will nourish," she says. Miraj, Sepide, and Samira Alesaeidi.
