What Causes Enlarged Pores?

Pores are essential to your skin’s health, but factors like oil, aging, and buildup can make them appear larger. Here’s what’s happening beneath the surface.

Sebum Can Stretch Pores

Oily Skin Leads to Larger Pores

When sebaceous glands produce too much oil, pores expand to release it, making them appear larger.

Trapped Debris & Dead Skin Cells

Buildup Can Make Pores Look Bigger

Pores filled with oil, dirt, and dead skin become congested, creating blackheads and a rough texture.

Aging & Pore Laxity

Collagen Keeps Pores Tight & Firm

As we age, collagen production slows, leading to sagging skin that makes pores appear more noticeable.

Moisture Imbalance & Skin Texture

Lack of Hydration Can Worsen Pores

Dehydrated skin can trigger excess oil production, leading to more congestion and enlarged pores.

Inherited Pore Size

Some Skin Types Naturally Have Larger Pores

If you have naturally oily skin, your pores may appear more prominent due to increased sebum production.

Sun Exposure & Pollution

UV Rays Break Down Collagen & Enlarge Pores

UV rays and pollution cause oxidative stress that weakens the skin’s structure, making pores look more visible.

Pores are not your enemy.

They serve an important function—but with the right care, you can keep them clear, refined, and less noticeable.
