They are also the openings through which sebum (an oily secretion that lubricates the skin surface) reaches the skin surface,” explains Dr Lynch.</p><p>Dr Yoo adds that pores play a key role in regulating body temperature through sweating and removing toxins. “On the face, pores can appear larger due to excess oil production, and clogged pores can lead to acne or other skin issues.”</p><p>There are many misconceptions about how pores work, the most common myth is that they’re like doors that open or close. “In reality, they do not have the ability to perform this action. Instead, pores may appear larger when clogged or filled with oil and dirt, but they can’t physically change size,” says Dr Yoo. As they don’t have muscles attached, pores can’t contract to be larger or smaller, and everyone has them.</p><div class="sc-kk992l-0 coQFhJ"><h2>What causes pores to look bigger or become clogged?</h2></div><p>Both Dr Phillips and Dr Lunch explain that the size of your pores is genetically determined, but there are other factors which can contribute to their appearance.</p><p>Dr Lynch advises that hormonal fluctuations, as a result of puberty or your menstrual cycle, can cause overactive sebaceous glands to produce more oil, which can make pores appear more prominent.</p><p>This excess oil production is often the cause of blackheads too, which develop as a result of sebum and keratin clogging the pores. “A reaction with oxygen in the air is responsible for their dark colour,” says Dr Phillips, who recommends steering clear of thick, occlusive oils that can clog pores, particularly if you have blemish-prone skin.</p><p>Lastly, Dr Lynch reveals that skin can lose elasticity due to ageing or sun exposure, which can cause pores to appear stretched or enlarged.</p><div class="sc-kk992l-0 coQFhJ"><h2>The best ingredients for reducing the appearance of pores</h2></div><p>There are many avenues to reduce the appearance of pores. Dr Phillips recommends <a href="/extras/indybest/fashion-beauty/skincare/what-does-salicylic-acid-do-b2577399.html">salicylic acid</a>, which is a popular choice for those with acne. “Salicylic acid penetrates deep into pores to exfoliate and remove excess oil and debris, making it highly effective for unclogging pores.”</p><p>He also suggests <a href="/extras/indybest/fashion-beauty/skincare/glycolic-acid-explainer-b2540780.html">glycolic acid</a>, an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that sloughs off dead cells on the surface of the skin to improve texture. Lastly, he’s a fan of using <a href="/extras/indybest/fashion-beauty/skincare/best-retinol-creams-b2390098.html">retinoids</a> to boost cell turnover and gently exfoliate, which can help to keep pores clear and reduce their visibility over time.</p><p>Meanwhile, Dr Lynch highlights <a href="/extras/indybest/fashion-beauty/skincare/what-does-niacinamide-do-serum-b2559934.html">niacinamide</a> as a star ingredient for reducing sebum production, improving skin barrier function and its anti-inflammatory actions. </p><p>We were keen to find out what products our dermatologists believe are worth adding to your skincare routine if enlarged pores are your biggest concern.</p><p>For oily skin, Dr Lynch believes incorporating niacinamide, especially with The Ordinary niacinamide 10 per cent + zinc 1 per cent (£5, <a rel="nofollow" data-affiliate="true" target="_blank" href="https://clicks.trx-hub.com/xid/esimedia_t58ukgmjkf95_theindependent?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.awin1.com%2Fawclick.php%3Fmid%3D2082%26id%3D201309%26p%3Dhttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.lookfantastic.com%2Fp%2Fthe-ordinary-niacinamide-10-zinc-1-supersize-serum-60ml%2F12243648%2F&p=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.independent.co.uk%2Fextras%2Findybest%2Ffashion-beauty%2Fskincare%2Fhow-to-reduce-appearance-of-pores-b2645606.html&article_id=2645606&author=Louise+Whitbread&tag=indybest%2Cdermatologist%2CTips§ion=IndyBest&category=Fashion+%26+Beauty&sub_category=Skincare&updated_time=2024-11-12T19%3A24%3A29.000Z&utm_campaign=news-body&utm_term=B-1&utm_content=&utm_medium=&ref=&utm_source=direct&fbclid=&gclid=">Lookfantastic.com</a>), will yield results. “Niacinamide reduces sebum production and zinc has anti-inflammatory properties,” he says, and you can’t fault the affordable price tag either.</p><div class="sc-482ou5-2 eOHevC image align-none"><figure class="sc-1cbdeug-0 cpcmmN"><div data-gallery-length="5" class="sc-482ou5-0 jyAxLX"><img src="https://static.independent.co.uk/2024/11/12/12/The-Ordinary-how-to-reduce-the-appearence-of-pores-indybest.jpg" srcSet="https://static.independent.co.uk/2024/11/12/12/The-Ordinary-how-to-reduce-the-appearence-of-pores-indybest.jpg?quality=75&width=320&auto=webp 320w, https://static.independent.co.uk/2024/11/12/12/The-Ordinary-how-to-reduce-the-appearence-of-pores-indybest.jpg?quality=75&width=640&auto=webp 640w" loading="lazy" alt="" class="sc-1mc30lb-0 iSVhwZ inline-gallery-btn"><div class="hydrate-root sc-482ou5-1 dPBwGF" data-component="AutoGalleryButton" data-theme-name="base"><button class="sc-ohzviw-0 gdZNrl inline-gallery-btn" id="trigger-autogallery-132591"><span class="sc-ohzviw-1 ewSUe">open image in gallery</span></button></div><script type="application/json">{"id":"trigger-autogallery-132591","index":1}</script></div><figcaption class="sc-1cbdeug-1 sc-1cbdeug-3 hiCdLa liXvvg"><span class="sc-1cbdeug-7 izyooE">(<!-- -->Boots<!-- -->)</span></figcaption></figure></div><p>He and Dr Phillips both recommend using the CeraVe resurfacing retinol serum (£13.48, <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://buy.geni.us/Proxy.ashx?tsid=3658&GR_URL=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.co.uk%2FCeraVe-B07VWSN95S-Resurfacing-Retinol-Serum%2Fdp%2FB07VWSN95S%2F%3Fascsubtag%3DIN%7C2645606%7CB07VWSN95S">Amazon.co.uk</a>), especially for dry skin. “It contains encapsulated retinol, liquorice extract and niacinamide, which reduces oil production, and provides gentle exfoliation to improve the appearance of pores,” says Dr Phillips.</p><div class="sc-482ou5-2 eOHevC image align-none"><figure class="sc-1cbdeug-0 cpcmmN"><div data-gallery-length="5" class="sc-482ou5-0 jyAxLX"><img src="https://static.independent.co.uk/2024/11/12/12/Cerave-how-to-reduce-the-appearence-of-pores-indybest.jpg" srcSet="https://static.independent.co.uk/2024/11/12/12/Cerave-how-to-reduce-the-appearence-of-pores-indybest.jpg?quality=75&width=320&auto=webp 320w, https://static.independent.co.uk/2024/11/12/12/Cerave-how-to-reduce-the-appearence-of-pores-indybest.jpg?quality=75&width=640&auto=webp 640w" loading="lazy" alt="" class="sc-1mc30lb-0 iSVhwZ inline-gallery-btn"><div class="hydrate-root sc-482ou5-1 dPBwGF" data-component="AutoGalleryButton" data-theme-name="base"><button class="sc-ohzviw-0 gdZNrl inline-gallery-btn" id="trigger-autogallery-132592"><span class="sc-ohzviw-1 ewSUe">open image in gallery</span></button></div><script type="application/json">{"id":"trigger-autogallery-132592","index":2}</script></div><figcaption class="sc-1cbdeug-1 sc-1cbdeug-3 hiCdLa liXvvg"><span class="sc-1cbdeug-7 izyooE">(<!-- -->Amazon<!-- -->)</span></figcaption></figure></div><p>It also earned a spot in our guide to the <a href="/extras/indybest/fashion-beauty/skincare/best-retinol-creams-b2390098.html">best retinol creams and serums</a>.
