Pore Control: The Clear Truth
pore control
Refine, Balance, Breathe
Pores are a natural and essential part of healthy skin, allowing oil and sweat to reach the surface.
But when they become clogged or enlarged, they can make skin look uneven and textured.
Pore control is about maintaining a balance — keeping them clear of excess oil and debris while supporting skin health.
With the right knowledge and products, you can reduce the appearance of pores and prevent common concerns like blackheads, congestion, and excess shine.

Busting Pore Myths
Clearing up the most common misconceptions.
-
Pores don’t have muscles, so they can’t open or close. Cold water may make them look smaller temporarily by reducing swelling, but it doesn’t change their size.
-
Dry and normal skin types can still experience clogged pores from dead skin buildup, makeup residue, and environmental pollutants.
-
Pore strips remove surface debris, but they don’t clean deep inside pores or prevent them from clogging again.
