they dont look that big considering the pic is a close up. At normal size I bet your pores look fine. If your skin is oily that usually causes pores to look bigger.

Did you have acne there before?

Is your entire face oily or just your T-Zone?

I'm 20 years old. At the age of 16 I developed an EXTREME case of oily skin (genetics mixed with longterm benzyl peroxide use). I legit had oily dripping down my face I have never seen any one else with what was happening to my face. Anyways I went on accutane at 18 on a 5 month 10 mg course which stopped the oily skin completely, and in the longterm decreased it by about 60% (prob something to do with puberty ending too). My pores enlarged to this size about 1 month before finishing the accutane course and post accutane. I never had much acne, but did have condones/blackheads (due to such oily skin).

I have the same size pores in the same area as you do bud, and I'm only 15. Suck don't it?

[iAcne]

I have the same size but more centered around my nose and about 1 inch to the right and left of it, not cheeks though but still extremely uncomfortable

[jarchi]

Mine are definitely bigger. I posted not so close-up shots in my gallery, and you can probably see the pores from there. I don't even care about the pores so much--- Just want the zits and redness gone!!

Whenever I use the Queen Helene Mint Julep mask, it reduces the appearance of my pores.

Did you have comedones/blocked pores where your large pores are now?

Also after you have had a shower or cleansed your face and its freash and free from oil do the pores still look large?

[Oil King]

No, I didn't have condones in most of the places where the pores are. I have a few scarred pores where condones and blackheads were, but only about 4-5. Those pictures were taken within 5 minutes after washing my face. My pores are always that size.

Kinda sucks because I was sure accutane was what would SHRINK my pores but instead it made them this size, permanently....I figure it has something to do with accutane causing a sudden collagen/elasticity loss within the skin. Or my skin is designed to be super oily and stopping the oil production (with accutane) really threw my skin for a loop..I don't know. What I do know is it's been a while and my pores havent gone back to normal. They have shrunk ever so slightly since right after accutane (prob 15% better) but they are still huge. I really don't think there is any treatment I can do to make them better. I'm getting non-pupuric v-beam done for my rosacea/flushing and hopefully that will tighten them up (rather than make them worse....). My mom has pores of equal size so I assume I'm doomed.

Ok King you beat me!

I have enlarged pores like yours but they are not across my whole cheek. Mine are in the centre of my face about an inch from the nose on both sides but not actually on the nose. For me that is the area of greatest oil production.

I still get plenty of oil all over my entire face so oil production doesn't need enlarged pores.

Check the pic and let me know if you have bigger hahaha

ok this is me about 30 minutes after washing my face. You can see the oil starting to come out on my nose already.

Oiler we are very similar in terms of how our pores are non-uniformed and are of different shapes and sizes (unfortunately). On a positive note, you have extremely clear skin for someone with oily skin. No blackheads/condones. Are you just lucky or do you use something to help with this? (with obvious success)

how deceiving those pictures are. My pores fill up with nasty sebum that solidify. I wash my face every few hours to keep them clear but the pores fill up with solidified sebum. I have to drain them by squeezing them every few days or the solid sebum will keep piling up and getting infected. Try not to picture it too much. life sux. Oh and if a pore gets clogged for whatever reasons, it really sux.

to oiler and oilyking

you guys have great skin even with the pore size. To be honest, my pores are bigger than both of you guys. My skin is SUPER OILY. i literally have to blot my face 15 minutes after i wash my face. My nose secretes oil 15 minutes after i wash my face. so seriously guys, i really think i beat you on whos oilier than who.

Oh and theres nothing you can do about pore size. i think you guys know that already though. all in all, you both have great skin and i would trade to have skin like you guys.
