I have acne, uneven skin texture, and large open pores. How can I reduce the appearance of open pores?
Large open pores are commonly caused by excess oil, acne (pimples), and reduced skin elasticity. Use a gentle cleanser and non-comedogenic products containing salicylic acid or niacinamide to help clear pores and improve skin texture. Also, apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily, as sun exposure can reduce skin elasticity and make pores appear larger. If the problem persists, a dermatologist may suggest treatments such as topical retinoids, chemical peels, or laser therapy.
