Centella asiatica is increasingly recommended for exactly this — and for good reason.

What is Centella asiatica

Centella asiatica (Cica) calms redness, strengthens the barrier and speeds healing.

How Centella asiatica helps for enlarged pores

Pore visibility depends on sebum output, skin elasticity and trapped debris. Centella asiatica approaches the problem from a different angle: centella asiatica (Cica) calms redness, strengthens the barrier and speeds healing. As a result, used consistently, it gently improves the skin for enlarged pores.

How to use it

  • Cleanse with a gentle, non-stripping product.
  • Apply centella asiatica to dry skin, starting 2–3 times a week.
  • Seal with a moisturiser to support the barrier.
  • Always use SPF 30+ in the morning.

Precautions

Suits sensitive, reactive and compromised skin. Regular gentle exfoliation keeps pores clear and less visible.
