As someone who is "wiser" I still suffer with oily skin, breakouts and large pores. Thanks so much for this information! Your the best. Happy Monday, Dr Dray! Hope you have a peaceful evening. 💙🎄💙
Hi Mary!! I Hope You Had a Fabulous Day, and Everything Went Well!! Have a Beautiful and Cozy Evening!! Hugs and God Bless You Always Sweet Friend!!🙏🎄❤️☃️🎄🙏
You really made solid research on this! I have read many research recent and old on pore size. And you basically summurize most of them. Not many dermatologist stay uptodate like this so thank you.
I’ve been using Paula’s Choice 2% BHA for several years and it has worked wonders on minimizing my pores, controlling oil production and making my skin glow. It’s also significantly reduced breakouts. I also use Azelaic Acid by the same brand and I use it several times a week. With all that said you have to be patient and be consistent. I saw results in a matter of weeks. My sister didn’t for three months.
Have you looked into the AviClear laser yet? I know it’s not offered everywhere yet but for acne sufferers (especially of color) it sounds promising and is being touted as providing “accutane results”. Interested in hearing your thoughts on it.
Absolutely ADORE your insistence on sharing mechanism of action. It's one thing to rattle off product types or procedures, but by explaining the MOA you enable a much deeper level of comprehension that extends beyond the immediate subject. If you explain that spironolactone inhibits androgens (which are directly linked to sebum output), understanding birth control as an acne management tool becomes intuitive, and so on. Thank you so much for the info and for the way in which you present it. I can always rely on your content to educate at a level that simply isn't possible with many others.
My pore size used to look like I had black pepper on my nose, now they are not even noticeable. Cleansing properly is underrated, especially using a cleansing balm before apply the rest of your skincare products!
@@Lilah1754 I use Inkey's List Oat Cleansing Balm for first cleanse, and Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser (or Cerave Salicylic Acid Cleanser) for second cleanse.
@@Lilah1754 Adapalene made my pores disappear. I don't have a single blackhead and my skin has never looked better. Adapalene is a form of the retinol family, available over counter. Affordable, photo stable and if done right, less irritating than most
Back in the late 90s Almay had a skincare line that was kinetin based. I liked it but it was discontinued. Lots of options talked about here, thanks for this video 🌞
What is your suggestion for someone in their late 40’s that still has oily skin and large pores (larger now due to age and sun damage) but cannot afford expensive dermatologist treatments? I already use tretinoin, azaleaic acid and niacinamide in my skin care routine.
I was in the same boat. I simply stopped eating junk food and drinks, drinking almost a gallon of water a day. You will see a difference after a few weeks.
@@GoBlueGirl78 I agree. Salicylic acid is great for cleaning pores which make them appear smaller. I use The Ordinary salicylic acid, lactic acid, and Tretinoin, and they’ve made my pores appear much better
I had 3 quarter-sized patches of psoriasis on my face develop over 3 consecutive winters about 10 years ago. I treated them with a steroid cream and eventually they went away. But they each left an area with enlarged pores relative to the normal skin around it. So the acute inflammation definitely caused the stretching of the skin and the pores that are a part of it. I still have those large pores.
Thank you for making these videos. As someone about to cross into their 30s, your videos and advice give me confidence to look forward to aging gracefully.
This! Thats why I hesitated clicking on it. When I finally did, i realized that its a clickbait title bc shes only talking about the appearance of pores.
So glad Tretinoin has been my holy grail for everything. Reversed aging, virtually eliminated wrinkles, smoother skin and texture, and reduce pore size, I know it's not for all but I find it amazing. And only on the 0.025 strength
@@bslorbust I started May 2022. I've also been diligent with sunscreen and since added Vitamin C. But, honestly I think the Tretinoin and a good moisturizing sunscreen are responsible for 99%. It's truly amazing though, literally everything that I'd wanted to correct has been or close to it. Started at 39, just turned 40 last week and often have people not believe I'm 30 when before I felt I looked more like 45. Never had anything but positive effects from it. Goodluck if you do try it.
@@marindacoetzee6760 Safe to say nightly, not to say I've not missed a night or two though. Probably 8 total. I do have resilient skin as well. I also try making sure my moisturizers are very skin barrier protectant. Hope I can help anyway as it's changed my life and sure will only continue to improve.
I always get so much out of your videos. Very well done. Btw - your skin looks awesome! Looks like you may have made some changes, and I’ll tell you: you look great!
Question about Azelaic acid, if I use tretinoin at night can I also use azelaic acid bec of my redness at the same time? Now I’m aware that we can’t combine acids and retinol/retinoids but I just wanted to ask! If this is the case, any recommendations for redness/rosacea to use in combination with tretinoin? Thanks!
63 here with very large pores from teen and adult acne. BBL Hero laser treatment has made a huge difference in my skin, pores and tightening. Added adapalene lately, helping a lot for skin texture.
@@lindahasenfang5540 once really helped, going back a year later for another treatment. My results have lasted, just ready to reduce age spots on face hands and neck.
@@janetkenny4861 I have large pores with acne at 51. I have been told that no one laser fits all because of our skin tone. I hope you don't mind asking you your skin tone is fair, medium or deep ? That would help me talk to my derma for my upcoming visit? Thank you!!!!
Happy Monday Dr Dray and everyone . As someone who still has acne prone skin and large pores at 59 I could not click quick enough ! This was so helpful . Have a fabulous day love to mom and TYbee xoxoxo
Accutane was a godsend for me in my 30’s after having awful acne since 14. It also helped with the pore situation. Still left with some scarring but had laser which helped. I’m now 70. Routinely use tretinoin and sunscreen also.
love how you're very to the point! i use tretinoin, glycolic acid, salicylic acid, azelaic acid regularly (i find niacinamide only makes it worse) azelaic acid makes the most difference for me but i can't wear it under makeup because of its powdery texture after drying can't mix with base makeup and it's a downside and without it i'm still very oily with very visible pores that annoy me so much. i don't have acne or hormonal issue just oiliness, so i guess the next step is in office laser treatment, which i didn't know can work for that. thank you
I like IPL, had it done at 40 for very oily acne scarred skin...it was a game changer. I'm 69 and I sill see the benefits...it's an amazing treatment for many skin problems.
Dr. Dray! Have you reviewed the Peach & Lily glass skin refining serum? They are the same brand as the Peach Sliced acne products! Would love to hear your input on that product!
Niacinamide really helped me a lot with reducing my pore size in my 30s and the amount of black heads I have after having quite a lot ever since being a teenager
Thank you dr Dray ! Looking into other skin care influencers being a dermatologist my self is so un relatable ! Here even I get the comfort that “okay you are going well”😅 THANK YOU !

@drdrayzday Have you looked at the Medicube needleless electroporation devices? One of them claims clinical trials showing pore reduction (of course, they did their own trial). Came here looking for your input on it because I always learn so much from your videos! Your skin looks perfect - I have older aging skin - so I am trying to sge gracefully LOL. Would love to see what your thoughts are on electroporation!
I was the same way! I thought I can't use niacinamide, my skin was all red, blotchy, and itchy from various products with it. Turns out, that only happens if I use HA and niacinamide in the same day. As long as none of my products contain hyaluronic acid, I tolerate a 5% niacinamide serum daily without any issues.
You might try something with Urea but no niacinimide. I'm 59, female, and have always had big pores. My mom also does so I have to think it's genetic to a certain extent. Thru Dr. Dray I found Zeroid RICHENIC CREAM UREA 5% and I cannot believe how much better the texture of my skin is including the pore size. Also I've found lots of benefit from Azelaic Acid cream from the Ordinary. Im not sure if that has niacinimide or not.
Hello Dr. Dray. It seems that my pores have gotten larger over time. I thought that mine had appeared smaller after using retinaldehyde. I was just in my NEW dermatologist office today getting treatment for BCC. I was explaining to the 2 radiologist ladies that I had just recently gotten more aware and into wearing sunscreen in the last 2 years due to watching your videos and being aware caused me to ask about the lesion currently being treated. I will be doing SRT. Thank you!
Question about Retinoids - I started an over the counter retinoid and about 1.5-2.5 weeks later I noticed that my melasma actually looks worse and darker (and yes I am using sunscreen!). Is this part of the "purging" process with the beginning of faster skin cell turnover? Or is it a sign of a problem? 😬
This is a great question, that’s not talked about much on RUclips. I started prescription Tretinoin a year ago, and 6 months into it I developed REALLY bad hyperpigmentation on both my cheeks. I added The Ordinary Salicylic acid, and Lactic acid daily, and within 4-5 months it has greatly reduced my hyperpigmentation. I also lightly exfoliate the area about 2-3 times a week. Not sure if I’m correct, but I’m thinking it happens because retinoids slightly lighten the skin, and those areas of skin are taking longer to lighten than the rest of the face. Or….because retinoids shed the skin at a faster rate, it is making the sun damaged skin come to the surface faster. But…I just want to say…keep it up, it WILL go away eventually. Mine was super bad, so bad I almost gave up using Tretinoin. But it eventually did go away!
It can be the strength and/or the frequency that irritates your skin. What strength and how many times did you apply it during the first weeks? It’s recommended to build it up very slowly and for some people it’s even better to keep it to two to three times a week at a low strength always, you will still get results. For me tretinoin was too strong, I moved to adapalene after one year of use and I keep adapalene at 0,1% strength , 3 times per week, otherwise I get hyperpigmentation.

Unfortunately, salicylic acid makes my pores HUGE. It's interesting that Sulfur isn't mentioned at all. I had insanely oily, sensitive skin with large pores until I started washing 2x a day with Grisi Azufre 10% sulfur soap twice a day. I only moisturize at night with Replenix brightening moisturizer after I cleanse and in the morning I will apply OC8 after I cleanse to the oiliest areas of my face. My skin is now bright and almost pore free and only slightly oily by the end of the day.
I feel like I'm watching an educational video on skin care as a SCIENCE offered by a prominent academy and professor. So informative, so clear and so in-depth. Incredible how much time and effort you put to bring all this valuable information, Dr Dray. You are THE BEST!
Ha ha, I only understood about half of this!

@drdrayzday Have you looked at the Medicube needleless electroporation devices? One of them claims clinical trials showing pore reduction (of course, they did their own trial). Came here looking for your input on it because I always learn so much from your videos! Your skin looks perfect - I have older aging skin - so I am trying to sge gracefully LOL. Would love to see what your thoughts are on electroporation!
What do you think about TCA peels and treatments?
See my video on tca peel
I have genetically large pores, but niacinimide makes my skin red and itchy.
I was the same way! I thought I can't use niacinamide, my skin was all red, blotchy, and itchy from various products with it. Turns out, that only happens if I use HA and niacinamide in the same day. As long as none of my products contain hyaluronic acid, I tolerate a 5% niacinamide serum daily without any issues.
You might try something with Urea but no niacinimide. I'm 59, female, and have always had big pores. My mom also does so I have to think it's genetic to a certain extent. Thru Dr. Dray I found Zeroid RICHENIC CREAM UREA 5% and I cannot believe how much better the texture of my skin is including the pore size. Also I've found lots of benefit from Azelaic Acid cream from the Ordinary. Im not sure if that has niacinimide or not.
Hello Dr. Dray. It seems that my pores have gotten larger over time. I thought that mine had appeared smaller after using retinaldehyde. I was just in my NEW dermatologist office today getting treatment for BCC. I was explaining to the 2 radiologist ladies that I had just recently gotten more aware and into wearing sunscreen in the last 2 years due to watching your videos and being aware caused me to ask about the lesion currently being treated. I will be doing SRT. Thank you!
I was looking exactly for this this ❤thank you thank you 🙏🏼 and thank you beautiful dr 👩⚕️ stay alive for ever !!!!
Thank you ❤
Very helpful video ❤️☺️
Differin Gel and oral contraceptive for over 5 years didn’t help with appearance and size of pores 😓
Wow! This was an awesome video!! Thanks!!
Glad you liked it!
Question about Retinoids -
I started an over the counter retinoid and about 1.5-2.5 weeks later I noticed that my melasma actually looks worse and darker (and yes I am using sunscreen!).
Is this part of the "purging" process with the beginning of faster skin cell turnover? Or is it a sign of a problem? 😬
This is a great question, that’s not talked about much on RUclips. I started prescription Tretinoin a year ago, and 6 months into it I developed REALLY bad hyperpigmentation on both my cheeks. I added The Ordinary Salicylic acid, and Lactic acid daily, and within 4-5 months it has greatly reduced my hyperpigmentation. I also lightly exfoliate the area about 2-3 times a week. Not sure if I’m correct, but I’m thinking it happens because retinoids slightly lighten the skin, and those areas of skin are taking longer to lighten than the rest of the face. Or….because retinoids shed the skin at a faster rate, it is making the sun damaged skin come to the surface faster. But…I just want to say…keep it up, it WILL go away eventually. Mine was super bad, so bad I almost gave up using Tretinoin. But it eventually did go away!
May be irritating your skin...tret left my skin with perm sunburn look...I only use acids now and it cleared it up immensely
It can be the strength and/or the frequency that irritates your skin. What strength and how many times did you apply it during the first weeks? It’s recommended to build it up very slowly and for some people it’s even better to keep it to two to three times a week at a low strength always, you will still get results. For me tretinoin was too strong, I moved to adapalene after one year of use and I keep adapalene at 0,1% strength , 3 times per week, otherwise I get hyperpigmentation.
Hi Dr Dray, can Botox or laser treatment be applied to nose?

Where do you find Kinetin??
Unfortunately, salicylic acid makes my pores HUGE. It's interesting that Sulfur isn't mentioned at all. I had insanely oily, sensitive skin with large pores until I started washing 2x a day with Grisi Azufre 10% sulfur soap twice a day. I only moisturize at night with Replenix brightening moisturizer after I cleanse and in the morning I will apply OC8 after I cleanse to the oiliest areas of my face. My skin is now bright and almost pore free and only slightly oily by the end of the day.
Happy Cold & Wet Monday! 🥶⛈ Love your Lipgloss.. Dr. Dray!👄
You too!
