TLDR Different reasons for large pores mean treatments need to be personalized.
The review article "Facial Pores" discussed the definition, causes, and treatment options for enlarged skin pores, which are a cosmetic concern for many individuals. The authors identified three major clinical causes: high sebum excretion, decreased elasticity around pores, and increased hair follicle volume. Additional factors such as chronic recurrent acne, sex hormones, and skin care regimens also influenced pore size. The article emphasized the importance of individualized treatment plans based on the underlying causes of enlarged pores to achieve effective results.
