What are the best treatment options for my enlarged pores? (Photos)

Question

I have recently taken on the task of taking better care of myself and I have noticed that I am very much in need of hygiene. I do not know if they are like this because of the dirt or some permanent damage. What professional treatments or skin care products do you recommend? I've heard that Retin-A is very good. I am patient and I am willing to wait for good results. Note: I’ve oily skin, I’m in my 23 and my skin is much whiter.

Hi gm21aj!By looking at the photos you supplied, it looks like your pores are congested. I would find a licensed esthetician in your area and have them do extractions and a light chemical peel. Salicylic may be a good option, given your oily skin. It will help to regulate your oil production. Getting this done once a month will keep your pores cleared out and prevent them from becoming larger. Retin-A is a great product to use. I would also look into a series of microneedling treatments. This can help to permanently shrink your pores. Usually 3 treatments are sufficient, however many people get more than 3 treatments. The microneedles create micro injuries in your skin, forcing your body to produce collagen to repair the injuries. Best of luck!
