• What are pores?
• What leads to enlarged pores?
• How do I treat enlarged pores?

What are pores?

Pores, also known as sweat glands, are the small openings on our skin that allow our bodies to secrete fluids. These fluids, whether they are sweat or oil, help to keep us cool during hot days and they keep our skin hydrated and protected from the elements.

Pores cover our entire body and differ in size. Typically the smaller pores are located in areas that are less exposed to the elements. Unfortunately, that means the larger pores are located in areas we see every day all day.

What leads to enlarged pores?

Some factors that lead to enlarged pores are age & loss of elasticity, the sun, and genetics. As we get older, our bodies slow the production of Elastin. As the production of elastin slows, our skin begins to stretch and sag. While doing so, pores begin to look larger.

The sun also plays a role in enlarged pores. Over exposure to the suns’ ultraviolet rays cause damage to the elastin in our skin. Much like aging, this will cause skin to droop and make pores appear larger.

Finally we come to genetics. The color, type, and even the size of the pores on our skin is the result of our genetics. Unfortunately, that means genetically large pores are mostly unavoidable. Those born with oily or combination skin will naturally have larger pores than those born with dry skin.

How do I treat enlarged pores?

Reducing the size of large pores means beating back the causes as best you can. While you can’t turn back time, you can treat your skin to maintain elastin and reduce dirt and oil which lead to clogged and ultimately larger pores.

While pore refining treatments will help reduce the size of pores, Dr. Perricone recommends treating your skin with his specially formulated Pore Power Duo. Consisting of his Intensive Pore Treatment and his Intensive pore minimizer, the Pore Power Duo will maintain the elastin in your skin and absorb oil. In addition, it will also exfoliate wax and dirt allowing your pores to reduce in size and become less noticeable.

Intensive Pore Treatment is built around Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA), a universal antioxidant known for its ability to diminish lines, wrinkles, puffiness and the size of enlarged pores, and Dimethylaminoethanol, better known as DMAE.

A stabilizing antioxidant, DMAE enhances the benefits of ALA treatment by firming the skin and keeping reduced pore membranes taut.

How is Intensive Pore Treatment different?

• It is unique to other pore treatments that are primarily designed to “fill” and superficially mask enlarged pores.
• Blended with Glycolic Acid, Intensive Pore Treatment instead gently exfoliates the skin and purifies pores of residue and build up.
• In addition to reducing and firming pores, Intensive Pore Treatment helps control excess oil production in the skin through synergistic doses of Zinc & Salicylic Acid.
• Pore walls are strengthened and firmed for long lasting, radiant results.
• Intensive Pore Treatment is non-clogging; both oil and silicone free.

Perricone MD‘s skin care line utilizes active ingredients and skin friendly formulas to clean out pores while improving the tone and texture of your skin. Cleanse, tone, and renew are the three key steps to beautifully refined pores without unnecessary hassle or irritation.

This article will discuss:

• Step One: Cleanse
• Step Two: Tone
• Step Three: Renew
• Makeup tips to minimize pore appearance

As dirt, oil, and dead skin cells build up on the skin, they can clog and, over time, stretch out the pores. Therefore, the first step to keeping pores looking small is to keep them clean. However, it is equally important not to over-cleanse the skin. When you over-wash you face, it removes too much protective oil and moisture from the skin.

Over time, this can make skin oilier because it begins to produce more oil to overcompensate for what it loses every time it is washed. Washing once or twice a day with a gentle cleanser is enough to keep pores clean and unclogged while also maintaining the natural oil levels that keep skin lubricated.

Try this: Dr. Perricone’s Citrus Facial Wash. It’s formulated to remove impurities without drying the skin. It contains DMAE and Vitamin C ester, ingredients that can help make your skin smoother and brighter as you wash.

Toner removes the final traces of dirt and makeup and, and with the right active ingredients, can also help to firm skin and add elasticity. Increasing pores’ elasticity allows them to better maintain their natural shape even when faced with dirt and oil buildup. When skin is firmer and more elastic, it allows pores stay their smallest and rebound from previous damage.

Try this: Dr. Perricone’s Face Firming Toner or Skin Clear Toner.

Key ingredients like Salicylic Acid, DMAE, and Alpha Lipoic Acid work to:

• Tighten skin
• Reduce lines and wrinkles
• Make skin more elastic and minimize pores
• Refine skin texture
• Reduce puffiness and pore size
• Even skin tone

The last step to minimizing the appearance of pores is to renew skin. This can be achieved by using a product that boosts skin’s overall health and makes it smoother, firmer, and more youthful. Using a product that rejuvenates the skin not only improves the skin’s total appearance, it also works to keep skin cells healthy. This helps pores remain clean and minimizes their look.

Try this: Dr. Perricone’s Advanced face skin firming. DMAE tightens and firms the skin, Alpha Lipoic Acid protects cells and reduces inflammation and pore size, and sodium hyaluronate hydrates. The active ingredients in this product also work to balance the amount of oil produced by the skin, helping pores to become tighter and less noticeable.

Or this: Dr. Perricone’s Ceramic Skin Smoother, the Perricone acne product that moisturizes the skin while creating an instantly smoother appearance by filling in enlarged pores, lines, and wrinkles with microspheres.

Watch this video to learn more about Ceramic Skin Smoother:

After cleansing, toning, and renewing in the morning, your next step may be putting on makeup to get ready for the day. If so, there are some a few tips to keep in mind when applying makeup to make pores appear even smaller.

1. In order to smooth the surface of the skin and keep makeup from seeping into pores and making them appear larger, use a foundation primer. Primers create a barrier between makeup and the skin, allow makeup to go on more easily, and last longer.
2. Use a water-based, oil-free foundation (like No Foundation Foundation), which is light on the skin and won’t contribute to clogged pores. Use foundation sparingly; using too much can cake up in pores and call attention them.
3. Dust with a small amount of powder to finish.



4. Apply the rest of your makeup as usual.

Always wash your makeup off before bed. Leaving it on overnight is a sure way to clog pores.

Combining a routine like Dr. Perricone’s that treats the causes of enlarged pores to refine them with correctly applied makeup can help make your skin look flawless every day.

Purchasing products is made even easier with the use of a Perricone code that will help lower the costs.

Depending on your age and lifestyle, there are many products you can use to treat your skin. Only the best will work for decades on your skin, though.

Read on to learn about skincare for the various stages of your life and the product you can depend on for years to come.

• Teens
• 20s and 30s
• 40s and 50s
• 60+

You are never too young or old to start a proper skin care regimen for restoration. Whether you have yet to start visibly aging or if you are advanced in age, you can still improve your routine to reverse or prevent damage.

There are typically none or very few wrinkles present during teenage years. If there are wrinkles, they are usually seen on the forehead. This is because it is an area on the face that utilizes a lot of motion.

A key element of skincare is proper hydration. By drinking water and applying moisturizer in the morning and evening, you can achieve hydration both internally and externally. Since teenage skin is prone to annoying breakouts from excess oil production, a good product to combat this is Perricone’s No Foundation Foundation.

Why No Foundation Foundation is perfect for a teenager:

• After applying to gently cleansed skin, it helps nourish.
• It keeps skin looking dewy and flawless.
• It’s made with a non-chemical SPF 30 to deliver protection against sun damage.
• It’s a great makeup option with a light, matte finish.
• It’s non-greasy formula allows for less oil build up inhibiting acne.

In your twenties, your skin is at its best. The transition into your thirties can be aided by ensuring your skincare routine maintains your beautifully youthful skin. You can transition smoothly by maintaining a healthy diet, physical activity, and daily moisturizing.

With your thirties comes thinning skin and fine lines. Luckily, these unwelcome lines are manageable. Perricone’s No Foundation Foundation helps restore your skin’s youthful glow.

Why No Foundation Foundation is perfect for someone in their twenties or thirties:

• It hides fine lines.
• It lets the skin’s natural radiance and beauty shine through.
• It protects against further sun damage.
• It boosts skin’s natural moisture throughout the day.

In your forties, lines deepen, skin begins to dull, and there is visible appearance of eye wrinkles. The need to replenish moisture and tighten skin becomes more vital than ever.

During your fifties, skin becomes thinner and loses elasticity. You will need to revitalize your skin while hiding the deeper lines continuing to form.

Perricone’s No Foundation Foundation will help diminish the visible wrinkles that continue to appear at this age as well.

Why No Foundation Foundation is perfect for someone in their forties or fifties:

As skin continues to lose collagen and lines deepen and sag in your sixties, it is time to take the ultimate step in mature skin care for your skin and use the best cream for wrinkles.

Dr. Perricone recommends using other anti wrinkle products in addition to finishing with his No Foundation Foundation at this point in your life. This is because deep wrinkles are more noticeable than ever, and you will need a full-fledged anti-aging treatment that masks as a tinted moisturizer on top of other products.

Why No Foundation Foundation is perfect for someone in their sixties or older:

• The Alpha Lipoic Acid diminishes skin lines and discoloration.
• It refines skin texture and reduces pore size, puffiness, and uneven skin tone.
• It erases blotchiness and pores with just a hint more coverage.
• The DMAE provides ultimate contouring benefits to skin beginning to lose elasticity.
• Does not cake up, making lines more visible, like traditional makeup does.

You may not have visible wrinkles yet, but without proper care, they will surely be on their way. Try out Perricone’s No Foundation Foundation for a wonderful anti-aging translucent foundation that corrects skin undertones, instantly smooths fine lines, and is ideal for preventing visible aging for all skin types and ages.

• What are Pores?

• Best Anti Aging Wrinkle Creams

What are Pores?

To you they may seem like annoying holes in your face, but to the skin they are an opening to the outside world. Essentially, they are tiny holes that link the inside of skin to the surface of skin, transporting nutrients that keep skin hydrated and healthy. They are the portal that absorbs the best anti aging wrinkle creams.

The nutrients transported to skin’s surface come in the form of oil, called sebum, created in the sebaceous glands. Sebum travels up from the sebaceous gland through the hair follicle (the pore) to the surface.

Sounds like a pretty straightforward process, right? Although it may seem that there is little room for error in the process, hair follicles, commonly called pores, experience blockages. This is where acne and enlarged pores occur.

Tips for Treatment

While this problem may seem impossible to fix, there are some simple tips involving the best anti aging wrinkle creams that you can follow today.

• Protect from Sun, with anti aging wrinkle creams like More than Moisture SPF 30. Sun damage will enlarge pores, so moisturizing and protecting can help to keep the damage at bay.
• Steam skin at home by standing near a hot shower for 10-15 minutes. Steam will open pores to allow easy dirt and oil removal.
• Exfoliate with a gentle product like the Cleansing Treatment Bar to get dead skin away from pores, making the best anti aging wrinkle creams work better.
• Decrese Makeup; caked makeup will sink into pores and clog them, leading to enlargement

Best Anti Aging Wrinkle Creams

The best anti aging wrinkle creams will fight enlarged pores along with other signs of aging. You should always use a cleanser to clean, a toner to fight oil, a serum for concentrated pore minimization, and an anti aging wrinkle cream for age protection.

Here’s the best anti aging wrinkle cream regimen for you to follow:

• Cleanse with the Cleansing Treatment Bar to lightly exfoliate dead skin cells while cleaning skin
• Tone with Skin Clear Toner; it will diminish pores while reducing oil and wrinkles
• Apply a Serum, like the Intensive Pore Minimizer to target pore minimization
• Moisturize skin with the best anti aging wrinkle creams, like Cold Plasma. Moisturizing skin will hydrate pores, resulting in decreased oil production and smaller pores

Did users see a difference in pore size? Find out:

Amazing Difference – “Ok…so I have tried everything under the sun to try to minimize my pores…moisturizers, serums, you name it. I bought this Intensive Pore Minimizer last week and I have already seen an amazing difference! Seriously…it’s almost too good to be true! I’ve also noticed that my skin is less oily throughout the day. I use the pore minimizer first thing in the morning and last thing at night. I can’t believe how well this stuff works! If you have oily skin and would like to minimize your pores, I HIGHLY recommend this product!” – From Sephora.com

Tighter Pores – “I have always had pretty clear – combination skin, but spent years trying to rid my nose of pesky blackheads! I was never too attracted to toner pads – but after using these for about a week, I am very happy with the results. I have been using them 2x a day in addition to a once weekly pore-steaming and extraction regimen. Although still visible, my pores look cleaner and tighter.” – From Skinstore.com, on Skin Clear Toner

• What Are the Best Under Eye Wrinkle Creams for You

What is in Eye Wrinkle Creams?

Under eye wrinkle creams prevent skin from aging naturally. Perricone skincare allows skin to get plump, glow, and maintain ultimate moisture to prevent further aging.

The reason a best wrinkle cream can do this is because of what it is made of. Disguising wrinkles over time while additionally reversing their damage can only be done by products made of the purest, highest quality ingredients.

Ingredients found in effective wrinkle creams are all found in Perricone’s products. These include:

• Alpha Lipoic Acid – protects cells with antioxidants and is arguably most important in preventing and diminishing signs of wrinkles.
• DHA – luminates the skin with its essential fats, typically found in coldwater fish, that hydrate, sooth, and increase youthfulness.
• DMAE – provides ultimate contouring to skin dealing with loss of elasticity. This organic compound delivers lifted, toned, and tightened skin appearance.
• Neuropeptides – make the skin look and feel exceptionally radiant and vibrant with their surface renewal qualities. Allow for toning and resilience of sagging and crepiness.
• Phospholipids – repair damaged skin through ultimate hydration. These fats help treat dry, fragile skin while naturally absorbing quickly in the skin.
• Pycnogenol – heals the skin by protecting it from free radicals as well as improving overall health and renewing collagen.
• Vitamin C Ester – helps protect the skin from free radicals that do harm to cells which in turn prevent cancer, disease, and aging.

What Under Eye Wrinkle Cream Can Do

If you want younger looking skin, look no further. Protecting your eyes is crucial because it is the most sensitive part of the face.

If you want ultimate protection, lather your eye wrinkle cream and do not skimp when applying. This will further protect from free radicals and give extra antioxidants as you start your own skin therapy every day.

Following this with a facial moisturizer can seal in protection and improve overall skin health while immediately brightening skin.

What eye wrinkle creams can do to prevent aging on the face:

• Improve skin tone and texture
• Give off a radiant, youthful appearance
• Firm and tone fading facial contours
• Provide an anti-inflammatory to strengthen skin
• Create smooth and soft hydrated complexions

What eye wrinkle creams can do to reverse aging on the face:

• Stimulate skin renewal
• Smooth wrinkles
• Reduce lines and discoloration
• Refine skin’s texture
• Reduce pore size, puffiness, and other imperfections

What Are the Best Under Eye Wrinkle Creams for You

Perricone has several best under eye wrinkle creams that can be used for a multitude of reasons.

Some of his best products for the eyes and face are:

• Cold Plasma Eye, which contains Neuropeptides, Vitamin C Ester, and DHA.
• High Potency Eye Lift, which contains DMAE, Phospholipids, and Pycnogenol.
• Neuropeptide Eye Contour, which contains Neuropeptides, DMAE, and Phospholipids.

So what does this mean to you? Perricone under eye wrinkle creams are best for people with an entire spectrum of eye needs. Depending on this, each product specializes in different things.

Find out what is best for you:

Cold Plasma Eye is for someone with many signs of aging around the eyes. If you deal with fine lines, puffiness, dark circles, redness, sagging, dryness, and dullness, this product can combat each of these things.

High Potency Eye Lift is a more intense product that helps repair the advanced signs of aging that occur as your skin matures. Someone with deep lines, wrinkles, and bags underneath their eyes would see great results for the high potency product.

Neuropeptide Eye Contour is for someone who is in their mature life stage and has extremely fragile sagging skin. This product will help them diminish the appearance of puffiness, discoloration, dark circles, as well as firm sagging and minimize deep lines.

But remember, the best wrinkle eye creams are the best because of what’s inside them; be sure to check out Perricone’s products with the highest potency of ingredients.

Although skin type is a genetic attribute, there are some factors, including your hygienic routine, that can have a huge impact in preserving it.

From nutrition to what cream you use when you get out of the shower, everything affects different skin types in different ways. This is why it is important to know what kind of skin you have and how you should care for it.

Read on to find out which anti aging products are best for the following skin types:

• Normal Skin
• Dry Skin
• Oily Skin
• Sensitive Skin
• Combination Skin

Normal Skin

For the most part, normal skin is easiest to care for because there are not major problems to fix on a daily basis. Normal skin’s characteristics tend to include:

• Even color, smooth appearance, and firm feel
• Small to medium pore size
• Minimal blemishes and irritation
• Overall appearance is vibrant and healthy

The best Perricone product for normal skin is the Neuropeptide Facial Conformer which will help keep healthy skin constantly renewing itself to reveal visibly younger looking skin. And the best part about this highly powerful product is that a little bit goes a long way.

Dry Skin

Having dry skin means you must fight wrinkles more than those with other skin types. Anti aging products are best for you because they contain the extra moisture your skin thirsts for.

After using anti aging skin care you will see less of these symptoms commonly found with your skin type:

• Flaking
• Skin tightness and roughness
• Red patches
• Cracking, itchiness, and possible bleeding of the skin
• Wrinkles

The best Perricone product for dry skin is Intensive Moisture Therapy which will help moisturize and repair damaged skin while being gentle enough to deal with already stressed skin that has undergone physical or environmental changes.

Oily Skin

Of all the skin types, oily skin is most beneficial in the long run when it comes to fighting the signs of aging. This is because of its characteristics of maintaining great moisture even during the driest months of the year.

Oily skin types tend to have:

• Shiny appearance
• Extra firmness
• Large pores
• Frequent breakouts, pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads appear
• Discoloration, fine lines, and wrinkles as the skin ages

Skin Clear Hydrator is Perricone’s special formulation for oily skin. This product encourages regeneration of skin cells while formulated with Allatoin to help reduce surface debris of built up oil cells. With continued use of the skin saver, you will see skin to begin appearing softer and more clear.

Sensitive Skin

Sensitive skin affects people all over the world and depending on who you ask, it may mean different things to different people. From acne and rosacea to the stinging and burning feeling from allergies, many people classify their skin type as “sensitive.” What they all have in common, however, is the result of these skin issues which is inflammation.

Sensitive skin tends to have:

• Rashes or red blotchiness
• Prone to burning and irritation
• Broken blood vessels and capillaries may appear
• Fine texture and pores

Perricone’s Hydrating Nutrient Mask is a perfect match for those with sensitive skin. This product instantly hydrates tired, irritated skin for a rested, radiant appearance. While delivering rich nutrients and antioxidants to hydrate and protect the skin, this mask will also minimize the appearance of lines and irritations to give yourself a fresh, healthy glow.

Combination Skin

Combination skin means you have both oily and dry skin areas. Generally, people with this skin type have these characteristics:

• T-Zone area is oily while cheeks and skin around eyes are normal to dry
• Medium pore size
• Overall skin appearance is normal and healthy

To deal with combination skin, Dr. Perricone has created a Concentrated Restorative Treatment for night time use to help resurface and balance out the two forces at work with your skin. It fights wrinkles, while also toning and firming the skin.

Now that you know characteristics of each skin type, be sure to evaluate your skin and decide which type you have this time of the year and at this time in your life. Re-evaluate your constantly changing skin several times throughout the year to make sure you are using the best products to keep your skin looking its best, always.

Products that may be “affordable” or found in the clearance rack in the back of a thrift store may not always, or ever, be best for your skin. And since no one needs more stress in their lives, it’s best to spend the time beforehand and get a quality product that works the first time.

To learn about great wrinkle creams without using the process of elimination, read below on how to compare wrinkle creams before you buy.

• Avoid Spoiling
• Comparing Wrinkle Creams
• Find Your Best

Avoid Spoiling

Purchasing a product that spoils skin is the most counterproductive thing you can do for your skin. Next time you see a lotion on sale, know your ingredients and check the label before buying it and seeing possible dangerous effects on the skin. No one wants a break out because of an oily, cheap product.

Another thing to avoid is spoiling a good product because of the container itself. This is something that many people do not think about after purchasing a product but should be taken into consideration when storing skincare.

After a product has been proven effective, the actual packaging itself and exposure to the sun can actually diminish this effectiveness. Be sure to buy product in dark glass or opaque containers to avoid sun exposure and help protect the product.

Comparing Wrinkle Creams

How do you compare all the wrinkle creams in the world? Trick question, it’s an impossible task. Luckily, on many great cosmeceutical websites, there are reviews. Perricone is no exception. There are many reviews of Perricone MD so you can see what worked for people with certain skin types and skin issues before you buy yourself.

Comparing and doing research are key components in the world of spending. Unless you have unlimited funds, buying an ineffective product can be so aggravating. Comparing and contrasting is a perfect way to prevent wasting time and money. Be sure to learn the basics of everything before you decide.

What to look for in a wrinkle cream:

• SPF
• High percentage of antioxidants
• Wrinkle preventing ingredients such as Retinol
• Opaque packaging to not minimize effectiveness decreased by sun

Find Your Best

Just like Samantha Jones, you may be able to to handle the stress of your job just not stress lines. This is why finding the product that works best for you is so important. Start by reading reviews such as Perricone skin care reviews to get an idea of what works for different people with different skin types.

A favorite Perricone product for many is his Cold Plasma which after 5 years of research, he developed to address the 10 visible signs of aging: wrinkles, enlarged pores, dryness, redness, discoloration, uneven skin tone, impurities, loss of firmness, loss of smoothness, and loss of radiance.

Another Perricone favorite, Skin Clear Hydrator, is a wonderful hydrating lotion that clarifies skin while relieving dryness. The results are listed not only on Perricone’s site but other skincare blogs as well.

Do your research and find your best products that will work for you and with your unique skin. Spend the time doing your homework so you can get a quality product that works.
