What are Enlarged Pores?
Otherwise known as open pores, large pores are tiny holes across the skin's surface that can be visible. This is common in the T-zone region across from the forehead, nose to the cheeks. Unlike fine lines, or other wrinkles, this skin condition can be found across all ages and skin tones!
Large Pores on Your Face: The Breakdown for Every Skin Type
Large pores can present themselves in a wide variety of skin problems. While these can be very obvious on the complexion, it's key to consider current skin conditions. This can help you to know whether there's enlarged pores on the face.
Acne-Prone Skin
Do you have acne prone skin? This means that your skin naturally overproduces sebum. This clogs the pores causing blemishes like whiteheads, pimples and blackheads to appear. Which is why, many with this skin type may discover large pores on the nose, or other areas of the T-zone.
Oily/Combination Skin
For those with skin types that aren't dry, they typically notice excess oiliness. As their skin naturally produces excess sebum which can mix with dead skin cells, and other bacteria. All of which can play a contributing factor in clogged pores.
Dry Skin
Dryness in the skin can make large pores appear as prominent. As sebum is overproduced to compensate for dryness, which then clogs the pores. This leads to the build-up of impurities becoming more visible on the skin's surface.
Aging Skin
The skin's fundamental proteins collagen and elasticity lower with the aging process. This impacts its ability to remain firm and tight in appearance. Which can then make the pores seem larger.

What Are the Reasons Behind Enlarged Pores?
When it comes to this pore type, the reasons behind this vary based on every individual.
See some potential causes below:
- Genetics: Genes can determine whether you're more likely to have thick or oily skin. Both of which leave you predisposed to enlarged pores. This is because the excess oil stretches the skin and causes clogged pores.
- Aging: The skin's naturally occurring aging process can cause large pores to become more visible. This is because of the decreased production of "anti-aging" proteins collagen and elastin.
- Poor Skin-Care: The wrong products, routine and overall skin-care can make pores more visible. This includes not adequately cleansing the skin of a build-up of oils, dead skin cells and other bacteria. Alongside this, excess sun exposure and no SPF can cause your skin's proteins to break down faster.
How To: Treat Large Pores in Your Skin-Care Routine
The key to potentially reducing pore sizes is through the right skin care routine. By establishing the right lifestyle habits, and selecting the right non-comedogenic products, you can achieve your skin goal.
Cleansers
Gently remove any build-up of dead skin cells, bacteria, and other impurities with the right cleansing product. By using a cleanser daily, you help to ensure that your pores are free from congestion. The Purifying Gel Cleanser with AHA/BHA contains these ingredients for a gentle yet potent chemical exfoliation.
Exfoliants
Deeply cleanse your skin through exfoliating this two to three times a week. Through gentle circular motions made to the face this removes the build-up of dead skin and other impurities. The Active Smooth is formulated with Bamboo Extract to purify the pores. This also assists your skin in the absorption of skin-care used in your routine.
Serums
Support your skin's collagen production process with a daily application of a serum. Packed with a retinoid as the star ingredient, this Vitamin A refining serum is key for pores. By promoting high cell turnover, this firms up the pore walls. Minimising the look of enlarged pores on the skin, all while boosting its overall tone and hydration.
Moisturisers
Moisturising daily is key for large pores as it prevents dry skin, and as a result, excess oil production. Formulated with green tea extract, the Active Moist both hydrates and detoxes your skin. The main ingredient acts as an anti-oxidant to help clear pore impurities. All while hydrating the skin for a soothing effect.
Treatment
Target the look of large pores in the skin with a line eraser. This can act as a "filler" to smooth its appearance, all while helping decongest pores. The Hylafil Line Eraser contains Hyalufiller to boost your skin's collagen production process.
SPF Application
The application of sun protection daily is important for your skin's proteins. As sun damage can make large pores much more prominent. The Active Protect SPF 50+ offers the maximum level of sun protection. All while wearing light-weight and hydrating, perfect for application underneath makeup.
