How common are clogged pores?

Clogged pores are extremely common and can affect people of all ages and skin types. Factors like excess oil production, accumulation of dead skin cells, oil or dirt and the use of certain skincare products can all contribute to the problem.

What causes a clogged pore?

Several factors can cause clogged pores, including the buildup of cells, oil or dirt, hormonal changes and environmental pollutants. Using products not suited to your skin type can also lead to clogged pores.

Can clogged pores lead to acne?

Yes, clogged pores can lead to acne. When pores are blocked, it creates an environment where bacteria can thrive, often resulting in pimples, blackheads and other forms of acne.

How are clogged pores treated?

Clogged pores can be treated with a combination of proper skincare and professional treatments. Regular cleansing, exfoliating with products containing Glycolic and salicylic acid and avoiding heavy makeup can help keep pores clear. In clinic treatments such as microdermabrasion and chemical peels can also assist. In more severe cases you should consult a skin specialist or dermatologist.

What is the best clogged pores treatment?

The best treatment for clogged pores includes regular cleansing with a gentle, oil-free cleanser, exfoliating with products containing Glycolic and salicylic acid and using non-comedogenic moisturisers.

Should you squeeze clogged pores?

It is generally not recommended to squeeze clogged pores. Squeezing can damage the skin, cause scarring and potentially push bacteria deeper into the pore, leading to further infection.

Can dry skin cause clogged pores?

Yes, even dry skin can experience clogged pores. When dry skin accumulates, it can block pores just as excess oil does. Keeping the skin hydrated with suitable moisturisers is key to preventing this issue.

When introducing professional strength products, including Glycolic Acid, it is not uncommon to experience a slight, initial response. This can include dryness, flakiness, and tightness. This is due to the cell turnover of the Stratum Corneum (dead skin layer) and will generally settle within a few weeks resulting in the appearance of beautiful, translucent skin. Your clinic and/or allmedic staff will be able to assist you during this transition.
