Enlarged Pores

The biggest mistake with this skin type is trying to 'close' pores. What you can actually do is keep them clean and reduce how visible they are. Korean skincare relies on gentle but effective cleansing and on improving skin structure without aggressive treatments.

The key ingredients here are BHA acids for clearing pores, niacinamide for regulating sebum and improving skin's look, and centella for calming and supporting renewal. Together they help reduce imperfections, improve texture, and make pores less noticeable.

Your routine should include a gentle cleanser that removes excess oil and impurities, a toner to prep skin, and a serum with active ingredients. Regular use of an exfoliant helps remove dead cells, while a lightweight face cream provides hydration without clogging pores.

Sun protection is a key part of the routine too, since UV rays reduce skin elasticity and can make pores look more pronounced. With consistent, correct care you can improve skin texture, reduce the look of enlarged pores, and reach a smoother, more even appearance.
