If it seems you’ve tried every pore minimiser out there and haven’t seen positive results for your enlarged pores, don’t give up hope! At NAYA, we take a research-backed approach to target the root causes of large pores.
When excess oil mixes with other things inside the pore (such as dead skin), it forms a clog that causes the pore to enlarge. Sun damage can also contribute to misshapen, enlarged pores, which is why it takes a well-rounded skin care approach to treat them.
The frustrating part about “pore reducer” products, is that many of them actually make large pores worse. In particular, products with drying, harsh ingredients (like SD alcohol) or abrasive, jagged scrub particles can trigger an irritation response that jump-starts more oil production, leading to even more enlarged pores.
Thankfully, research is clear that certain key ingredients can make a significant difference for enlarged pores.
Salicylic acid (beta hydroxy acid or BHA) helps shed the dead skin that would normally gather in the pore and stretch it out. BHA exfoliates inside enlarged pores, so it helps return them to their normal shape. This allows for a more even flow of oil and prevents pores from becoming enlarged again.
Niacinamide (vitamin B3) can also help visibly improve stretched out, enlarged pores, but it works in a much different way than BHA. Niacinamide boosts skin’s natural repair processes to provide a "tightened-up" look. Research also demonstrates that niacinamide has significant anti-aging properties, so your skin reaps both benefits at once.
