Skincare for large pores

Large pores on the face: what you can do

Pores are small openings in the skin through which sebum escapes. Their size is largely determined by genetics, and you cannot close them. But they become more visible when they fill with excess sebum and dead skin cells, typically on the nose, forehead and cheeks. As skin ages, it also loses firmness, which can make pores look larger. The good news is that consistent care can make them look smaller: cleanse thoroughly, exfoliate, give your skin active ingredients and protect it from the sun.

Pore cleanser: cleanse and tone morning and evening

Cleansing Gel turns into a soft foam with water and deeply cleanses away dirt, excess oil and impurities without leaving skin feeling tight. It is made for normal and oily skin and skin prone to large pores, and it is AllergyCertified and dermatologically tested. In the evening, you can also use Cleansing Scrub, a cleanser and scrub in one that gently removes dead skin cells. Afterwards, Skin Balance Face Toner with algae and liquorice root moisturises, leaving pores looking finer. See the full range of face cleansers.

Serum and cream for large pores

Salicylic acid is a BHA acid that works inside the pore itself. In Acne Serum, it removes excess sebum, dead skin cells and dirt, so pores do not become clogged and large pores become less visible. Daily Peel with 7 % glycolic acid, an AHA acid, is a daily evening peel that gives smoother skin, making pores look smaller. Pigmentation Serum with 10 % niacinamide (vitamin B3) also makes pores look smaller while evening out skin tone. In the evening, Retinol Serum with pure retinol, a form of vitamin A, can kick-start skin renewal and make pores less visible. Start slowly with acids and vitamin A, and use sun protection during the day. See more products with salicylic acid.

For moisture, you can choose Anti Redness Cream, which helps with large pores, redness and impurities, or Wake Up Cream with SPF 50 in the morning for normal, dry and mature skin.

Masks for clogged pores

A mask is your little spa moment a couple of times a week. In Clay Mask, natural clay draws excess oil and impurities out of pores, leaving them cleaner and less visible. Skin Balance Mud Mask also cleanses deeply with natural clay and is AllergyCertified. If you want the strongest peel, AHA+BHA Mask with 26 % AHA and 2 % BHA stays on for just 2-3 minutes once a week.
