Congestion & pores
Decongest pores and refine skin texture.
Understanding congestion & pores
Congestion happens when oil, dead skin and debris build up in the pores, leading to blackheads, whiteheads and a dull, uneven surface.
Regular professional cleansing and treatments that regulate oil keep pores clear and looking smaller.
What causes congestion & pores?
Knowing the cause helps us choose the right treatment. Common causes include:
- Oily or combination skin
- Dead skin build-up
- Heavy or pore-clogging products
- Hormones
- Humidity and sweat
Types of congestion & pores
Blackheads
Open pores filled with oil and debris that darken on contact with air.
