Large pores are a result of oily skin, because the excess production of oil, dead skin cells and dirt gets trapped in your pores, causing them to enlarge over time. Oily skin is usually caused by genetics, hormonal changes with age, environmental pollutants or using the wrong skincare products.
All of these factors can make your complexion appear dull and unhealthy. If you’re concerned about oily skin and large pores, it may be time to switch to a skincare routine for oily skin, starting with an oil-control face wash and a pore-purifying toner.
Don’t worry, Clarins’ plant-based cleansers for pores and purifying toner will help with oil control, while cleansing and minimising your pores so they appear smaller.
We understand that different age groups require different ingredients, so we have specific cleansers and toners to suit all ages, from young adults to mature users. Cleansing your skin twice a day is essential, especially more so if you have oily skin.
A great cleansing gel for young adults is the My Clarins RE-MOVE Purifying Cleansing Gel. This oil-control facial wash is enriched with pollution-eliminating Moringa, purifying Meadowsweet and softening Bitter Orange that work together to effectively remove make-up, impurities and sebum without harming your skin’s moisture levels. Apart from eliminating dirt and make-up, it also tightens the pores and refines your skin’s texture. Lightweight and non-comedogenic, it’s a gentle purifying cleansing gel for those with sensitive skin.
The Purifying Gentle Foaming Cleanser suits women in their mid 20s and up. Made with a blend of Alpine Herb, Meadowsweet, Organic Yellow Gentian and Organic Saponaria, this plant-packed cleanser for oily skin penetrates deep into the pores to remove make-up, dirt and oil, while leaving your skin feeling instantly clean and refreshed. It lathers into a silky, hydrating foam that softens your skin and preserves your skin’s natural oils to protect against dehydration.
Complete your skincare routine with a pore-purifying toner. Toning is equally important because it reduces shine, minimises pores and helps with oil-control. It wipes away all the potential pore-cloggers that could trigger breakouts and other blemishes.
The Purifying Toning Lotion pairs well with the Purifying Gentle Foaming Cleanser, as it is made with an alcohol-free formula of Witch Hazel and Meadowsweet extracts that effectively hydrate your skin and penetrate deep into the pores to flush out trapped impurities.
