Skincare Ingredients to Reduce Pore Size: A Comprehensive Guide

In this article, we’ll dive into the essential skincare ingredients you need to use to reduce the appearance of large pores.

Let’s explore the role of each ingredient and skincare treatment, and how they help minimise pore size for smoother, healthier skin.

Key Ingredients to Reduce Pore Size

The main ingredients that can help shrink pore size are:

Niacinamide

Vitamin C

Retinol

Exfoliating acids (like glycolic acid, lactic acid, salicylic acid)

Sunscreen

Skincare treatments like microneedling

Here’s how these ingredients work to reduce pore size:

The Science of Pore Structure

Pores begin in the deeper layers of the skin in a bowl-like shape. This bowl-like structure is supported by collagen, which is critical to maintaining tight, firm skin.

When collagen levels decline, the support structure weakens, causing the bowl-like shape to expand and the tube-like structure that connects to the skin’s surface to dilate. This dilation makes the pores appear larger.

The solution? Boost collagen production to restore the support structure and tighten the appearance of pores.

Collagen Boosters: Niacinamide, Vitamin C, and Retinol

To prevent enlarged pores, you need ingredients that increase collagen production. Here’s how the top three ingredients help:

Niacinamide: A multi-functional ingredient that not only strengthens the skin barrier but also boosts collagen production to firm the skin and reduce pore size.

Vitamin C: This powerful antioxidant promotes collagen synthesis and fights free radical damage that can degrade collagen over time, helping to keep pores tight.

Retinol: Apart from increasing collagen production, retinol also speeds up skin cell turnover, preventing dead skin cells from clogging pores and making them appear larger.

Treatments That Boost Collagen

Microneedling is a highly effective skincare treatment that triggers the body’s natural wound-healing response, leading to increased collagen production and visibly reduced pore size over time.

The Importance of Sunscreen

Without sunscreen, UV rays penetrate the skin, damaging collagen and compromising the support structure of the pores.

Regular use of sunscreen protects your skin from UV damage, preserving collagen levels and minimising the risk of enlarged pores.

Exfoliation: Glycolic Acid, Lactic Acid, and Salicylic Acid

Regular exfoliation is key to preventing clogged pores. Chemical exfoliants like glycolic acid, lactic acid, and salicylic acid dissolve dead skin cells and clear debris from pores, preventing them from enlarging.

Glycolic and lactic acid: These gentle exfoliants help shed dead skin cells and improve skin texture.

Salicylic acid: A stronger exfoliant that penetrates deep into the pores, salicylic acid removes excess oil and grime, acting like a “scoop” to cleanse and unclog pores from within.

The Importance of Makeup Removal

Always ensure you remove makeup before bed. If makeup, dirt, or grime are left on the skin, they can accumulate in the pore’s bowl-like structure, leading to enlarged pores. Double cleanse if needed to make sure all residue is removed.

Avoid Comedogenic Ingredients

Steer clear of skincare products with comedogenic ingredients (those that clog pores). These can accumulate inside the pore and cause further dilation, making the pores appear larger.

The Role of Retinol in Cell Turnover

In addition to boosting collagen, retinol accelerates the rate of keratinization — the process where old skin cells are replaced by new ones.

When this process slows down, old cells can clog pores, increasing their size. Retinol helps ensure a steady turnover of fresh cells, keeping pores clear and minimizing their appearance.

Conclusion

Incorporating the right ingredients like niacinamide, vitamin C, retinol, exfoliating acids, and sunscreen, along with treatments like microneedling, can significantly reduce the appearance of enlarged pores.

Remember, consistency is key!

Feast your eyes, boys… one of the only known poisonous polypores in North America…

[lesbiangiratina]

Hey guys. Smile. Editing my funny little cards. Had to rescan this faust. For some reason it came out um a little bit clearer i guess than the previous scans. Do you think the card on the right looks better enough than the card on the left to warrant rescanning 300 cards and abandoning the 100 ive already edited. Love kat.

the barbie movie should be state-sanctioned mandatory viewing

[knuppitalism-with-ue]

All the dragons from the HTTYD stream. Detailed images below.

The designs from the original movie are basically perfect, which is why I didn't really dare to touch them... until a certain trailer dropped recently.

I'm a spiteful creature.

Anyway. Some ground rules. I tried to make these creatures overall a little bit more realistic and grounded without robbing them of the inherent whimsy that the originals had. All of them are tetrapods, so only 4 limbs max.

Nightfury

These guys have no more functional limbs to move on the ground. They are living stealth bombers. Silent fast fliers.

On the ground they flop around similar to seals, forming small colonies on top of tall cliffs.

Red Death

At a certain size it becomes unfeasible to fly for even a dragon. The Red Death stays on the ground using it's heavy armor and enormous size when raiding other dragon nesting colonies. it'as wings are more like spurs, to injure rivals in combat.

Gronkle

The original had a hummingbird style in flying , something that doesn't work for an animal of this size. My compromise is to make the wings rather stout and being able to be folded a lot.

Nadder

Easiest design, take a unfeathered theropod and combine it with a bearded dragon.

Shellfire

This was the last one I made on stream, it is one of the (in my eyes) worst designs from the shows, so a nice challenge to make it work a little better.

This guy is now a filter feeder, using its large horns to funnel water into its mouth.

Zippleback

Multi-headed dragons are really tricky. In my design I made one of the heads a parasitic male, similar to angler fish, that hitches a ride on the back of the larger female.

Monstrous Nightmare

One of the most classic dragons from the original movie. Lots of crocodilian influence here. The osteoderms on its back have pores from which it produces flammable secretions.

Razorwhip

A fast an agile dragon, but the original doesn't really show that in the head shape and all these spines don't help. I put some tapejarid influence into it.

Rumblehorn

The massive neck of this dragon doesn't work well in terms of aerodynamics, unless it's an inflatable display structure ;)

Whispering Death

The giant maw of this dragon is an even greater challenge, but when you give it the gular pouch of a pelican eel and turn these eyes into eye-spots, it works quite well.

And of course the Terrible Terror!

As you can see it's in my case a close relative of the nadder.

4 Ways to Minimise the Appearance of Enlarged Pores

Reducing the appearance of enlarged pores is all about maintaining a healthy skincare routine and using the right ingredients. Here’s how you can effectively minimise pores:

1. Boost Collagen and Protect Your Skin

Apply sunscreen regularly to protect your skin from UV damage, which breaks down collagen and enlarges pores. 

To further support your skin’s structure, use niacinamide, vitamin C, and retinoids. These ingredients boost collagen production, keeping pores tight and less noticeable.

2. Reduce Sebum Production

Excess oil production can make pores appear larger. Use niacinamide to control sebum (oil) production. 

Additionally, reducing your sugar intake can help, as high sugar levels increase sebum production, contributing to clogged pores.

3. Keep Your Pores Clean

To prevent pores from becoming clogged with dirt and oil:

Always remove makeup before bed.

Avoid comedogenic ingredients (those that clog pores).

Cleanse your skin regularly.

Use a BHA chemical exfoliant like salicylic acid, which penetrates deep into the pores to remove buildup and debris.

4. Normalize Skin Cell Turnover

Regular exfoliation is key to smooth, clear skin. Use AHAs (like glycolic or lactic acid) or BHAs (like salicylic acid) to exfoliate. These acids help remove dead skin cells, which can clog pores. 

Incorporate retinoids into your routine to further boost cell turnover. Retinoids speed up the production of new skin cells, preventing old ones from clogging pores.

By following these steps, you can effectively reduce the appearance of enlarged pores and maintain healthier, smoother skin!

“please baby?” His voice was pure sex and you knew you couldn’t resist him, you loved him and the idea of letting him do this to you made your heart pound. The sweet pout on his face when he begged you to let him cum inside you was almost enough to make you say yes- almost. You watched him reach for the condom that you had placed onto his throbbing length, just itching to take it off.

“On one condition,” you started then paused to make the anticipation around you two thicker, you could practically see the desperation seeping out of his pores. A sinister grin spreads across your face as you say, “you have to lick it out when you’re done” his eyes widened in surprise but his grin matched yours quickly. “Deal.”

He immediately pulls the condom off of his cock and lines himself up with your dripping entrance, teasing it with the tip and lets out a needy groan. He slowly pushes past your entrance, working himself in and out inch by agonizing inch, your back arched off the soft sheets as he bottoms out inside of you. When he feels you’ve acclimated to his size he begins to thrust faster, both of your pleasured sounds fill up the spacious bedroom- anyone walking by would be envious of what’s taking place behind your bedroom door.

After your second orgasm you could tell he was getting close, his cock twitched against your walls and his thrusts became sloppy, “c-can’t wait to breed this little pussy” he grunts as his head falls back, his hips twitch as he releases inside of you. He pants hard as he slowly pulls out of you, the feeling of emptiness makes you whimper but when you feel his cum slowly drip down to your ass another wave of excitement hits you. You look up at the hot disheveled man who just gave you one of his best fucks to date, you giggle softly as you say “your turn now.”

Without hesitation he drops his head down to your pussy and gives it a slow long lick, you moan as you look down at him and see the white coating his tongue. His eyes meet yours as he swallows his own load, you’ve never seen something so hot before, you could probably cum off the sight alone. He doesn’t back down, he goes back for more and brings you to your third orgasm of the night.

easy hygiene tips ♡

to improve physical appearance , health and hygiene are a must.

water ♡

water. please , for the love of god , drink water. get up rn and go drink some water. water does so much , want clear skin? water. want to lose weight? water. want to feel more refreshed? water. ITS SO HELPFUL!! you really don't want to be dehydrated, it has so many negative effects.

i would aim for around 2 liters (8 full glasses) a day , but you can slowly increase your water intake over the span of a few weeks if you're not ready for that. if you like me and forget to drink , set alarms or reminders for when you need to.

apple cider vinegar ♡

okay , yes, it tastes gross, but it's so good for your PH!! just drink 2 teaspoons everyday (dilute with water first) , trust me it will make your body sweat and kitty smell (and taste) soo much better!! it can also help u lose weight , decrease waist size and is so good for your skin!!

easy oral hygiene ♡

brush your teeth at least 3 times a day. i normally opt for brushing my teeth twice in a row morning and night , and once during the day (yes , even if i'm at school). also , don't forget to floss!! most importantly u wanna b scraping/brushing your tongue, along with brushing your gums and the roof of your mouth!! If you're not brushing regularly and not brushing your tongue, your breath is gonna stink.

another tip - mints > gum. no matter how minty your gum is , if you're chewing it all day it's gonna make your breath smell bad. a sugar-free mint that specialises in good breath every morning helps so much for me.

shower/bath care ♡

please wash behind your ears and your belly button. every part of your body should be clean!!! you don't want build-up.

exfoliate before and after u shave. this will leave u feeling SO smooth and helps avoid razor bumps , if you have sensitive skin (like me) it can help avoid irritation (i get SO itchy and my skin gets covered in red bumps if i don't exfoliate when shaving). personally, i don't suffer from oily skin , but if u do, exfoliating afterwards helps remove any dirt from clogged pores and any residue build-up!

use different clothes depending on what part of your body you're cleaning!! use a softer cloth for your face and kitty , and use regular clothes for the main part of your body and bum. NEVER wash your face in the shower! you want your face to have its own personal time for you to clean it so you can really focus on it. also , hot water from the shower can damage your skin and make it dry. your shower head also probably has a lot of bacteria hiding in it, so please wash your face separately after your shower.
