Do you notice your pores getting visibly bigger in size as you age? Enlarged pores are a huge concern for a lot of people, but don’t worry, because we’re here to help. We explain what pores are and which skincare ingredients can help minimize pores or at least how big they appear to be.

Pore – loving Ingredients are :

1. Kalalit Extract

Bursting with a naturally occurring compound called brazilin, this powerful extract works as an anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antioxidant and potent anti-photoaging agent too.

2. CLAY

A quick way to minimize the size of your pores is to remove excess sebum. Clay helps to absorb any excess sebum build up in and on your pores, and to make it appear smaller. The results are pretty instant, but take note that is only a quick fix. The effects of using clay may not last long, as it only works by removing excess sebum produced by overactive oil glands.

3. NIACINAMIDE

One of the most versatile ingredients in skincare is niacinamide! Also known as vitamin B3, niacinamide is an ingredient that has been shown to help control sebum production. Fun fact: niacinamide has also been proven to help with anti-aging and skin brightening. Definitely a keeper in your skincare routine.
