Large Pores

by AH1112, Jul 01, 2001 12:00AM

Tags: acne, Dermatology, dermatologist, nature

I have been using Benzamycin for the past 3 months and it has almost cleared up my acne completely, but I am left with these large pores, is there any way I can make them less visible?

I also have a few red spots where large blemishes used to be, how can I get rid of those?

thanks

Andrew

You can't get rid of pores; Nature put them there, but people hate them. You can make them less visible with makeup, or temporarily smaller-looking with exfoliants, toners, facials, and microdermabrasion. Ask your dermatologist, esthetician, or cosmetic consultant.

Best.
