How Glycerin helps for enlarged pores

Pore visibility depends on sebum output, skin elasticity and trapped debris. In this scenario Glycerin works with purpose — glycerin is a time-tested humectant that draws water into the outer skin layer. 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 glycerin to dry skin, starting 2–3 times a week.
  • Seal with a moisturiser to support the barrier.
  • Always use SPF 30+ in the morning.
