What helps against clogged and enlarged pores?

By Maleen L.


💡 Did you know that regular exfoliation can reduce the appearance of pores?

A distinction is made between mechanical and chemical peels. A mechanical peel removes dead skin cells through mechanical friction, e.g., using a brush. Chemical peels use acids that penetrate deeper into the skin. According to a Romanian meta-study, different types of peels should be combined for particularly effective reduction of visible pores (Măgerușan et al. 2023).

We'll tell you the secret to clear, even skin.

🤯 Clogged, enlarged pores aren't just a cosmetic problem; they can also lead to pimples. That's why today we'll explain what pores actually are and how you can visually reduce their appearance.

🕵🏽 What are pores?

😯 How exactly do pimples form?

Excessive sebum production clogs pores and causes blackheads. If the sebaceous gland becomes inflamed because the excess sebum cannot drain away , a pimple develops.

🤨 And how is a peeling supposed to help?

It's simple: Scrubs cleanse the skin by removing trapped dirt particles, dead skin cells, and excess sebum. This prevents pores from clogging and also prevents pimples from forming. You can perform a mechanical exfoliation with a cleansing brush, for example.

In cleansing mode, our EMS Cleansing Brush gently yet effectively exfoliates the skin's surface with its various silicone brushes, ensuring clean, even-toned skin. Product Details

You can also use chemical peels made from acids . Alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) work more on the surface of the skin , removing dead skin cells, evening skin tone, and reducing sun damage like wrinkles. Beta hydroxy acids (BHAs) penetrate deeper layers of the skin and intensively cleanse pores .

Examples of AHAs include mandelic or glycolic acid , while the most common BHA is salicylic acid . To effectively combat enlarged, clogged pores, you should combine mechanical and chemical exfoliants . We recommend exfoliating 1-3 times a week , depending on your skin's sensitivity, as excessive exfoliation can damage the skin's natural protective barrier.

What else can I do about enlarged pores?

According to a meta-study, healing clay can be helpful for skin prone to enlarged pores: It has anti-inflammatory effects, regulates sebum and also strengthens the skin's protective barrier (Zhang et al. 2023).

Our Avo Clay Mask with healing clay and avocado oil has anti-inflammatory and pore-refining properties. Product Details

💎 Another helpful ingredient against enlarged pores is niacinamide . Niacinamide strengthens the skin's natural protective barrier , reduces hyperpigmentation , and has antioxidant properties (Levin & Momin 2010 study). Niacinamide also has anti-inflammatory and sebum-regulating properties , which also contribute to a pore-refined complexion (meta-study Althwanay et al. 2024).

Our Niacinamide Serum contains 5% niacinamide and 5% azelaic acid for an even, balanced complexion. Product Details
