From Skinstitut cleansers that exfoliate pores to Skinstitut moisturisers that balance the skin, these are the best Skinstitut products for acne prone skin.
What Are Congested Pores?
Before trying to treat them, it's important to understand what congested pores actually are and how they affect your complexion.
If you have clogged pores, they're the result of an accumulation of dead skin cells and excess sebum, or oil.
When these two components combine, they produce a plug within the pore that cuts off the oxygen supply to the skin.
With a lack of oxygen, bacteria can rapidly multiply, causing acne and blemishes.
Congested pores prevent the goodness from your skincare from penetrating. Products will simply sit on your skin as build-up.
You may notice makeup applying unevenly and your skin feeling heavy and oily.
Which Skinstitut Products Can I Use To Decongest Pores?
Skinstitut works on a five-step system: cleanse, exfoliate, correct, hydrate, and protect. Every step is important when dealing with acne prone skin.
