MEET THE EXPERT DR DENNIS GROSS
We caught up with New York dermatologist and brand founder, Dr Dennis Gross to ask your most frequently asked questions…
1. Can you ever get rid of enlarged pores?
You can reduce the pore in size by removing the contents that enlarge it. You cannot remove the pore itself, which is a vital structure of the skin.
2. Are enlarged pores hereditary or as a result of lifestyle?
Enlarged pores are both hereditary and a result of lifestyle. Those with oily skin or with excessive oil glands very often have enlarged pores. However lifestyle choices, like using greasy sunscreens and moisturisers can enlarge the pores in any skin type.
3. What are the best ingredients to use for enlarged pores?
Alpha hydroxy acids, such as glycolic and lactic, and beta hydroxy acids like salicylic and retinol are the most effective ingredients for enlarged pores.
4. When should I use pore minimising products in my routine?
Apply pore minimising products after cleansing your skin, and before applying sunscreen and moisturiser.
