They're really not that bad, but investing in proper skincare for that kind of thing will pay off in the long run.

I'm not aware of any home remedies that will properly treat the problem while also addressing long term function of your pores unfortunately. There's just not much outside of properly formulated skincare that can address the problems under the skin's surface.

Hi Anissa. Unfortunately you can't't "treat" or prevent large pores, as they're not a condition or something resulting of not taking care of your skin... I believe they're hereditary, hence you'll always have them. That being said, you can always wash and rinse your face with cold water, use skin care according to your skin type and avoid having face makeup on all day, as it ends up clogging the pores.
I hope it helped! :)

If you are able to make the investment, the BHA/salicylic acid products from Paula's Choice are your best bet to reduce the appearance of pores. For a possible product that may help, the Ordinary makes a very affordable niacinamide product about 7$ which you can purchase here on Beautylish

Pores can have genetic factors but you can absolutely improve their function and appearance with skincare.

Pores get stretched and damaged from sun exposure and sebum build up over time, and while these factors alone are not inherently genetic they can be exacerbated by hereditary factors such as natural sebum production and melanin in the skin.

Natural skincare largely lacks the ingredients to treat pore issues since that lies in the realm of chemical exfoliation, and ingredients such as niacinamide/retinoids, which are either absent from or only found in minute concentration naturally.

There are many ways to get rid of large pores hun! What works best for me is Apple cider vinegar, but you can also try sugar scrubs, baking soda or egg white's and lemon juice. If natural remedies dont help at all than it may just be hereditary for you.

Most natural remedies aren't actually remedies. Apple cider vinegar lacks the ability to cut through sebum like an actual BHA product, baking soda is alkaline and therefore cannot create an acidic environment and exfoliate in a healthy way, and lemon juice contains volatile compounds that can damage your skin, exacerbating a host of issues.

I apologize for being blunt, but if natural remedies were really that effective, doctors would be making heaps of money off of them. Most of them are at best ineffectual, and many of them are harmful to your skin - case in point.

Well I use what works for my skin and it actually works for me I have 0 pimples my skin is smooth and hydrated..I say if it works use it because the ingredients that are in most beauty products aren't any better! P.s. my dermatologist is the one who suggested me to use ACV!
