14 Best Pore Remedies

*Overview of the best according to the editors of Healthy Food Near Me. About selection criteria. This material is subjective, is not an advertisement and does not serve as a guide to the purchase. Before buying, you need to consult with a specialist.

Enlarged pores give the face an untidy and untidy look, add a couple of extra years to the appearance. To mask this defect, there are many decorative means, but in most cases, this approach to the problem only leads to its aggravation. The pores are even more clogged with tonal creams, powders, proofreaders and concealers, and, therefore, they expand even more and become more noticeable day by day. Experts recommend not to hide the defect, but to choose the right tool to eliminate it. The experts at Healthy Food Near Me have compiled a list of the most effective pore shrinking products available on the shelves of cosmetics stores and pharmacies for you.

Recommendations for selection

Choosing the right remedy for narrowing the pores is not so easy. It is necessary to build on not only the cost, but also on a number of other primary and secondary factors:

  1. Features of the component composition of the product. It should not contain comedogenic substances that clog pores and contribute to acne. As well as components, for example, mineral oils, which create a film on the surface of the face and prevent the dermis from performing a respiratory and excretory function. It is also preferable that the composition contains as little alcohol as possible, other synthetic substances that can aggravate the condition of the vulnerable dermis. At the same time, it is highly desirable that the product contains absorbent, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, tonic and regenerative components, salicylic, glycolic, hyaluronic acids, allantoin, panthenol, extracts of medicinal plants. As well as special substances that normalize the function of the sebaceous glands, soften and smooth the edges of enlarged pores, moisturize tissues, free pores from sebum and impurities, restore the ability of cells to renew, narrow pores.

  2. Additional effects, which can be obtained using a particular tool. In most cases, the manufacturer promises not only narrowing the pores, but also normalizing the complexion, moisturizing, nourishing the epidermis, etc. Read the description of the product on the brand’s website or on the packaging itself, and you will understand whether the cream meets your needs.

  3. Method and frequency of application. Means for narrowing the port are different – these are masks, and creams, and lotions, and serums. You have to decide for yourself which product you like best. It is also important to consider how often you need to use a care product to achieve a pronounced effect. Some products are enough to apply 1-2 times a week, others need to be applied every day, or even 2 times a day, which is not always convenient.

  4. Individual characteristics of the product – color, smell, consistency, form of release. You can find out the first three qualities if you buy a sampler, a one-time portion of the product, or ask a consultant for a tester. Regarding the release form – if it is a gel, liquid, cream product, it is highly desirable that it be sold in a bottle with a dispenser so that oxygen and microbes do not get inside the container. The second option is a tube with a narrow spout or a small hole. The least suitable form of release of the means for narrowing the pores is a jar with a large lid, since in this case the area of ​​​​contact of the cream with the external air is relatively large.

  5. The manufacturer and its reputation in the beauty industry.

  6. Also, when choosing a cream or mask for narrowing pores, do not forget about user reviewswho have already managed to test a specific cosmetic product on themselves. From such posts you can learn a lot of useful and, most importantly, reliable information about the product, its properties and effectiveness (including color, smell and consistency). The main thing is not to forget that all reviews about cosmetics are purely subjective, because the dermis is different for everyone, the degree of severity of aesthetic defects is different, and how the drug solves the tasks in a given situation.
