Which cream should I use for enlarged pores?
It's all a question of balance! When pores are dilated, it's because the skin, by nature or in times of crisis, goes into overdrive and produces too much sebum. This overproduction stems from a skin imbalance, and it's this problem that needs to be addressed before tackling dilated pores. In this guide, we talk to you about dilated pore cream, your best ally in rebalancing your skin! If you want to tighten pores clogged by excess sebum or impurities in a lasting and effective way, discover our tips for adopting the right gestures and skincare routine to purify and rebalance your skin.
How can I stop having dilated pores?
To combat dilated pores pores, the first step is to purify the epidermis. Double cleansing is therefore essential to limit excess sebum.
Start by removing makeup with PreCleanse Dermalogica to remove all greasy impurities, as grease attracts grease. The oil even regulates future oil production. The second step is to apply a second cleanser with an aqueous base: a cleansing milk or gel. The latter will begin to treat your skin problems. The Purifying Cleanser Nettoyant Purifiant Tata Harper is ideal for clear skin and tightened pores.
Twice a week you can use an exfoliating lotion or powder such as the Daily Microfoliant Dermalogica because it's the ideal way to exfoliate all those little skin blemishes, scars, pimples and dilated pores that are too visible.

- Alpha hydroxy acids or AHAs Alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), such as glycolic acid and lactic acid, exfoliate your skin's surface to help brighten dull complexions, smooth rough skin and reduce the appearance of dilated pores. Regular use of AHAs dramatically improves skin radiance, giving it a brighter, more even appearance.
With age and skin aging, the skin tends to lose tone, as its elasticity is less optimal. As a result, pores become more visible. To restore clear, radiant skin, opt for products rich in fruit acids (such as glycolic acid) or the resurfacing power of retinol.
