Understanding Enlarged Pores and Uneven Texture on Sensitive Skin

Pores can become enlarged when blocked with excess sebum, dead skin cells, or impurities, leading to congestion and a rough, uneven surface. Sensitive skin is particularly vulnerable to inflammation and irritation, which can worsen pore appearance and disrupt skin texture. Environmental factors, ageing, and barrier damage also contribute to these concerns by reducing the skin’s natural ability to regulate oil and exfoliate gently.


How to Support Clearer Pores and Smoother Texture

Effective care for enlarged pores and uneven texture balances thorough cleansing, gentle exfoliation, and barrier repair. Key actions include:

  • Unclogging pores to reduce congestion and prevent breakouts
  • Exfoliating dead skin cells to refine surface texture
  • Balancing oil production to minimise shine and pore visibility
  • Hydrating and repairing to strengthen the skin barrier and soothe sensitivity
  • Protecting against inflammation and microbial stressors that worsen congestion

By combining these steps, sensitive skin can regain clarity, softness, and resilience.

Targeted Ingredients to Refine Pores and Improve Texture

Our formulations use carefully selected active ingredients that work in synergy to address enlarged pores and uneven texture while respecting sensitive skin’s needs.

    Clears clogged pores, unclogs congestion, and smooths texture

  • Glycerin

    Hydrates deeply and supports skin barrier repair

  • Edelweiss Extract

  • Laminaria Saccharina Extract

  • Panthenol (Vitamin B5)

    FAQs

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can I minimise enlarged pores if I have sensitive skin?


    Yes. The key is to use gentle, non-irritating ingredients that target congestion and support barrier repair. Overly harsh treatments can cause inflammation, which can make pores appear larger.

    What causes enlarged pores and uneven skin texture?


    These concerns often result from excess oil, dead skin cell buildup, congestion, and a weakened skin barrier. Sensitive skin is more prone to inflammation, which can worsen texture and pore visibility. Environmental damage, ageing, and barrier impairment can also contribute.

    What are the best ingredients for refining pores without irritating sensitive skin?



    Some of the most effective yet gentle options include salicylic acid, niacinamide, glycerin, chamomile extract, zinc PCA, and panthenol. These work together to unclog pores, balance oil, calm irritation, and strengthen the skin barrier.



    How often should I exfoliate if I have enlarged pores and sensitive skin?


    We recommend gentle exfoliation 1–2 times per week. Avoid abrasive scrubs or strong acids, which can damage the barrier. Instead, opt for mild exfoliating actives like salicylic acid combined with hydrating and soothing ingredients.

    Will hydrating products make my pores look bigger?


    No. Proper hydration strengthens the skin barrier and helps balance oil production, which can actually reduce the appearance of enlarged pores over time.

    How long will it take to see results?


    Many people notice a clearer, smoother texture within 2–4 weeks of consistent use. Long-term results come from ongoing barrier support, gentle exfoliation, and oil balance
