Open pores are one of the most googled skin concerns, and also one of the most misunderstood — here's a clear, realistic look at what helps.
Why Pores Appear Enlarged
Genetics, excess oil production, sun damage and loss of skin elasticity with age are the main contributors to visibly enlarged pores — they can't be permanently 'closed,' but their appearance can be significantly minimised.
Daily Habits That Help
- Regular gentle cleansing to prevent oil and debris buildup
- Non-comedogenic, oil-free moisturisers
- Consistent SPF use to protect skin elasticity
- Avoiding harsh scrubbing, which can worsen irritation
In-Clinic Treatments That Make a Visible Difference
Carbon laser facials, chemical peels and derma polishing all help refine pore appearance by addressing oil buildup, texture and surface debris more effectively than home care alone.
Managing Expectations
Consistency matters more than intensity — a realistic, ongoing routine combining home care with periodic clinical treatments delivers better long-term results than a single aggressive session.

Frequently Asked Questions
