Concern guide
Pore visibility is influenced by oil production, skin structure, congestion, sun damage and normal genetics.
Understanding
Pores are normal openings in the skin and cannot be removed. They may look more visible where oil production is higher, follicles are congested or the surrounding skin has lost firmness.
The practical goal is to improve surface texture and reduce the contrast of visible pores. Treatment choice depends on sensitivity, acne activity, pigmentation risk and whether congestion or skin structure is the main issue.

Before you decide
No treatment can permanently close pores. Over-exfoliation can worsen irritation and make texture more obvious. Resurfacing treatments require aftercare and sun protection, and active acne or dermatitis should be stabilised first.
Common questions
No. Pores are normal skin structures; treatment can only reduce how noticeable they appear.
Oil, congestion, genetics, sun damage and reduced firmness around the pore can increase visibility.
