Enlarged pores are a common skin concern and often become more noticeable as skin texture and elasticity change. While pores can’t be erased, the way they appear can be improved with consistent, skin-supportive care.

Large pores refer to pores that appear more visible or dilated on the skin’s surface, most commonly on the nose, cheeks, and forehead. Their appearance can vary depending on oil production, skin thickness, and overall texture.
Pore size is largely determined by genetics, but how prominent pores look can change over time.
As collagen and skin elasticity decrease, pores may lose surrounding support and appear larger. Excess oil production, congestion, and sun damage can also stretch pores and make them more noticeable.
Because multiple factors influence pore appearance, improvement often requires addressing both skin texture and oil balance.
