Why Do Pores Look More Visible?
Several factors influence how visible pores appear:
- Genetics and natural skin structure
- Oil production
- Congestion
- Loss of firmness
- Sun exposure
- Dehydration and rough texture
- Irritation and inflammation
Pores, Blackheads & Sebaceous Filaments
Visible Pores
Natural openings that look larger with oil, congestion, or loss of firmness.
Sebaceous Filaments
Tiny, uniform grayish dots — a normal structure, not a flaw. Often mistaken for blackheads.
Blackheads
Clogged pores where trapped material oxidizes and darkens at the surface.
Whiteheads
Clogged pores closed at the surface, appearing as small bumps.
