“Pores don’t enlarge randomly. They reflect oil balance, collagen strength and barrier health. If you only strip the surface, you weaken the structure.” — Dr Garry, Rejuvaus Founder & Formulation Director —
Enlarged pores can affect all skin types: particularly oily, congested and sun-exposed skin, as well as ageing skin where elasticity has declined. Pores do not simply “open and close.” Their appearance changes over time due to oil flow, congestion, collagen loss, UV exposure and genetics. Refining pores requires more than exfoliation. It requires balanced renewal, collagen support and barrier integrity.
Most routines fail because they over-strip instead of strengthening structure
Common issues include:
Excessive exfoliation increases oil rebound
Stripping cleansers weaken pore walls
Temporary mattifying agents
Barrier damage stretches pores further
A multi-pathway system, not one-size-fits-all acne treatment
Pore visibility is influenced by oil regulation, congestion, elasticity and hydration. Rejuvaus addresses each pathway simultaneously using encapsulated, slow-release actives designed for long-term refinement without irritation.
Controlled exfoliation
Sebum regulation
Collagen & elasticity support
Barrier strengthening

Pores Don’t Just Reflect Oil They Reflect Structure
When collagen declines, the skin surrounding pores weakens. When oil becomes imbalanced, pores expand to compensate. When the barrier is disrupted, inflammation stretches pore walls further.
Sustainable pore refinement depends on strengthening the surrounding skin, not stripping it.
SEBUM REGULATION & PORE WALL SUPPORT
Niacinamide
Helps regulate oil production while strengthening the skin barrier around pores.
Encapsulated Retinaldehyde
Supports collagen renewal to improve elasticity and reduce pore stretching.
Peptides
Encourage structural protein support for firmer, more resilient skin.
What you’ll notice over time
Pores appear tighter and less stretched
Oil looks more balanced throughout the day
Smoother skin texture across cheeks and T-zone
CONTROLLED EXFOLIATION & CONGESTION CLEARANCE
Encapsulated Salicylic Acid (BHA)
Penetrates oil to help keep pores clear and reduce congestion.
Alpha Hydroxy Acids
Support surface renewal and smoother skin texture.
What you’ll notice over time
Reduced visible congestion
Fewer blackheads
More refined, even skin surface
HYDRATION & ELASTICITY SUPPORT
Lightweight humectants
Maintain water balance to prevent pore wall collapse.
Barrier-supportive lipids
Reduce inflammation and prevent rebound oil production.
What you’ll notice over time
Skin feels balanced, not stripped
Less midday oil breakthrough
Improved overall skin clarity

"Skin should be treated as a structural system, not just a surface. When we regulate oil, support collagen and protect the barrier at the same time, pores appear naturally more refined and stable."

COMMON QUESTIONS ABOUT ACNE
What causes enlarged pores?
Pores appear enlarged due to excess or imbalanced oil production, dead skin accumulation, loss of collagen and elastin, sun damage and genetics. When pores become congested or the surrounding skin loses firmness, they appear larger and more visible.
Can pores actually shrink?
Pore size itself is genetically determined and cannot be permanently changed. However, their appearance can be significantly refined by regulating oil flow, clearing congestion, improving elasticity and strengthening the surrounding skin structure.
Does ageing make pores look bigger?
Yes. As collagen and elastin decline, the skin around pores loses support. This allows pores to stretch and appear more open, particularly on the cheeks and central face.
Encapsulated retinaldehyde in Repair & Refine ABC Serum supports collagen renewal to improve elasticity over time.
How can I minimise the appearance of pores naturally?
Pore refinement requires:
Controlled daily exfoliation
Oil regulation
Collagen support
Daily mineral sun protection
Rejuvaus combines Deep Exfoliating AHA Cleanser, Clarify & Renew Serum and Repair & Refine ABC Serum to address these pathways simultaneously.
Why do pores look worse after harsh exfoliation?
Over-exfoliation disrupts the skin barrier and triggers rebound oil production. Increased inflammation stretches pore walls, making pores appear larger.
Rejuvaus uses controlled exfoliation within barrier-supportive systems to prevent this cycle.
Which ingredients help reduce the appearance of pores?
The most effective pore-refining ingredients include:
Niacinamide to regulate oil and strengthen pore walls
Retinaldehyde to improve elasticity
Salicylic acid to clear congestion
Peptides to support structural integrity
Mineral SPF to prevent collagen breakdown
These work best when combined in a balanced delivery system.
How long does it take to see pore-refining results?
With consistent use:
2–4 weeks: Smoother texture and reduced congestion
4–6 weeks: Visibly refined pores
8–12 weeks: Improved elasticity and longer-term pore control
Pore refinement is progressive and depends on structural support.
