What causes enlarged pores?

Pores appear larger due to excess oil, congestion, loss of elasticity, or environmental damage. Genetics also play a role.

Can pores be permanently shrunk?

Pore size can’t be eliminated, but it can be visibly reduced through exfoliation, oil control, and barrier strengthening.

Is exfoliating safe for large pores?

Yes — especially with PHA or salicylic acid, which gently unclog pores without over-exfoliating.

Will these products clog my pores further?

No. Every Skinvest formula is non-comedogenic and designed for acne-prone and congested skin types.

How long until I see improvement?

Pore visibility can improve in 2–4 weeks of consistent use, with more refined texture and less shine.

Is niacinamide good for pores?

Yes. Niacinamide helps reduce pore appearance, regulate oil production, and strengthen skin structure.

What’s the role of zinc in these formulas?

Zinc PCA helps regulate sebum production, reduce inflammation, and support clearer, more balanced skin.

Can dry skin have large pores too?

Yes. Dehydrated skin can create compensatory oiliness and congestion, making pores more visible.

Are these safe for sensitive skin?

Yes. The collection uses low-irritation actives and barrier-supportive ingredients suitable for sensitive users.

Do I need to use all three steps?

Using a cleanser, serum, and moisturizer together ensures better results. They work synergistically to support skin health.

What’s the difference between PHA and AHA?

PHA offers gentle exfoliation with added hydration, making it ideal for sensitive or reactive skin types.

Can these products help with acne scars and texture?

Yes. Over time, ingredients like niacinamide and peptides can improve post-acne marks and smooth skin appearance.

Should I skip moisturizer if I have oily skin?

No. Skipping hydration can increase oil production. Choose a lightweight, balancing moisturizer instead.

Can I wear makeup with these products?

Yes. The collection is formulated to layer seamlessly under makeup with no pilling or greasiness.

Are these safe during pregnancy?

Yes. All formulas are free from retinoids and pregnancy-restricted actives.

How often should I exfoliate?

2–3 times a week is ideal. Avoid daily use unless the product is labeled safe for daily application.

Will this help with shine control?

Yes. By balancing oil production and refining skin texture, you’ll experience less midday shine.

Can men use this collection?

Absolutely. Skinvest products are effective for all skin types and genders.

Are these vegan and cruelty-free?

Yes. Every Skinvest product is 100% vegan and never tested on animals.

Will these products lighten my skin tone?

No. They help improve skin clarity and evenness, not artificially lighten your skin tone.

With clinically effective ingredients like niacinamide, PHA, salicylic acid, zinc PCA, and peptides, each product is designed to visibly minimize pore appearance without stripping or sensitizing your skin.

Why Skinvest Works for Enlarged Pores

Designed for Oily, Combination & Acne-Prone Skin

All products are non-comedogenic, lightweight, and curated for skin that needs balance — not dryness or over-correction.

Gently Exfoliates Without Triggering Irritation

We use PHA and BHA in skin-friendly concentrations to keep pores clear and visible size reduced, while preserving skin comfort.

Supports Long-Term Texture Refinement

By strengthening the skin barrier and rebalancing oil, our formulas help reduce the root causes of pore enlargement over time.

Tested for Indian Skin & Climate

Built for high humidity, pollution, and temperature swings — conditions that often trigger oil imbalance and visible pores.

How to Use the Enlarged Pores Collection

Step 1: Start with an Exfoliating Cleanser

Use a gentle PHA or salicylic acid cleanser to clear buildup and excess oil without stripping your barrier.

Step 2: Apply a Pore-Minimizing Serum

Use a niacinamide-zinc formula to tighten the look of pores, improve clarity, and control daily shine.

Step 3: Moisturize Without Clogging

Follow with a non-comedogenic gel or cream moisturizer to hydrate without contributing to oiliness or congestion.

Step 4: Use Sunscreen Daily

UV exposure degrades collagen and worsens pore appearance — wear SPF daily to maintain long-term skin health.
