@denverskindoc: No! You can't ACTUALLY shrink your pores, but you can make them APPEAR smaller! Here's how: 🔬 Why Genetics? Your DNA determines how much sebum you produce and how your skin structure develops, which influences the size and appearance of your pores. Contributing Factors ✅ Sebum production: More oil = more visible pores ✅ Sun damage: Breaks down collagen, enlarging pores over time ✅ Aging: Loss of elasticity makes pores appear larger ✅ Acne/scarring: Can permanently enlarge pores 🧴 You Can Improve Pore Appearance! ✅ Retinoids boost cell turnover and collagen ✅ Salicylic acid keeps pores clear of debris ✅ Niacinamide helps regulate sebum and tighten skin ✅ Laser & microneedling can improve texture long term ✅ Daily Sunscreen is a must! #poresize #shrinkpores #largepores #dermatologist #derm #acne #enlargedpores #poreremedy #creatorsearchinsights
