Re: Enlarged Pores - what helps (besides Paula's Choice)

I use Isomers Enzyme Peel twice a week.  Works miracles.  They have several different products for enlarged pores.  I swear by Isomers.  I have used it for many years and my skin looks great in my sixties. I have tried Retinols and they wreck my skin.  I sometimes get large pores between my eye brows and nose.  So on rare ocasions I use pore strips in those areas.  Works like a charm.

Re: Enlarged Pores - what helps (besides Paula's Choice)

I watched an interesting video by a dermatologist about reducing large pores. She said that laser resurfacing works well for it. She also said that retinoids like Retin A can calm and shut down some of the oversized sebaceous glands that are creating the stretched out pore. Apparently, large pores happen because the sebaceous glands surrounding the facial hair shafts get too big and overdeveloped as we get older. Did not know that could happen!
