I'm 26 years old and my skin started breaking out very badly when I was 23 years old. I've tried Proactiv but it did not work for me. Right now I'm using Neutrogena and its helping but I have a lot of damage from when my skin was breaking out badly.
I want to know, what should I do to clean my pores and help reduce the size of my pores and prevent dark spots that acne leaves?
There are a number of lasers that can treat pore size and, as well, active acne. One such laser is the Thermascan laser. It heats the collagen in the skin and causes pore size contraction as well as remodelling. It also treats active acne as well, thus it would probably prevent that redness that you see from active acne.
Hello Lexie,
To clean your pores you should wash your face with a cleanser that contains salycylic or glycolic acid. Also using Rein-A will help keep the pores from clogging up with dead skin cells.
I have had a lot of success with using Intradermal Botox (Botox injections in the skin) to help reduce pore size and tighten skin giving it a nice smooth tone. I have also noticed that blemishes and dark spots from acne also improve from this treatment.
Works very well and results last 4-6months.
