Pore Minimizing Serum

Hands up who'd like help with refining enlarged pores and balancing sebum production? Yup, pretty much all of us.

Why do we need it?

Oily skin tends to have larger pores. 

Aging causes loss of skin elasticity and dehydration, so the skin cranks up sebum oil production to rebuild the moisture barrier. 

Exposure to sun damage and environmental aggressors cause inflammation, and increased oil production.  

Poor skin hygiene. Oil, dirt, and debris trapped in pores can stretch them.

Pore Minimizing Serum’s mission is to help refine enlarged pores and balance sebum production. 

Our active ingredient harnesses the properties of mastic gum (resin from the mastic tree), used for centuries for its astringent, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial action. It:

• helps refine dilated pores, minimizing their appearance in 2 weeks
• significantly reduces pore count by 30.3% and pore size by 41.7%1
• helps calm inflammation caused by excess oil and blocked pores
• helps control excess oil and shininess, blemishes and clogged pores
• improves skin moisturization

1. Cleanser (am and pm): Wash your face with a gentle cleanser to remove makeup, dirt, and oils.
2. Toner/Essence (am and pm): Apply a suitable toner to balance skin pH and prime it for serum absorption.
3. Serum (pm): Use Pore Minimizing Serum evenly on the entire face. Don’t rinse off. 
4. Moisturizer (am and pm): Finish with a moisturizer suited to your skin type to lock the serum and hydrate your skin.
5. Sunscreen (am only): Apply a sunscreen for sensitive skin daily to protect your skin against UV damage.

Several professional or medical treatments help improve the appearance of enlarged pores, including Chemical peels, microdermabrasion, fractional laser (Fraxel) therapy. These work by stimulating collagen production, improving skin texture, and reducing the appearance of pores. However, results can vary and you may need multiple sessions, so it can become costly.

Foundation can create a smoother surface, helping to minimize the appearance of enlarged pores, but the formula you choose is important. Use a good primer under foundation and apply the makeup with a light touch can help. Heavy, cakey makeup can emphasize pores. Don’t forget to remove makeup thoroughly before bed to prevent pore congestion.

Store in a cool, dry place, away from sunlight.
