FAQ: Frequently asked questions about clogged pores

What causes pores to clog? Pores become clogged due to an accumulation of sebum, dead skin cells, and dirt. This is exacerbated by excessive sebum production, insufficient cleansing, or the use of comedogenic (pore-clogging) products.

What is the difference between blackheads and pimples? Blackheads (comedones) are clogged pores without inflammation. Open blackheads are black, closed blackheads are white. Pimples occur when a clogged pore becomes inflamed by bacteria.

Which ingredient works best for clogged pores? Salicylic acid (BHA) is the most effective ingredient. It is oil-soluble and penetrates the pore to dissolve sebum and dead skin cells. Niacinamide also helps regulate sebum production and visibly refines pores.

How often should I exfoliate for clogged pores? Start with 2 to 3 times a week and build up as needed. Exfoliating too much can irritate the skin and actually increase sebum production. Listen to your skin and adjust the frequency accordingly.

Can clogged pores shrink? Pores cannot permanently shrink, but they can appear smaller. By keeping them clean with salicylic acid and niacinamide, and keeping the skin well-hydrated, pores will look visibly refined.
