Struggling with skincare for enlarged pores or excess shine? Discover methods and products to minimize pores and mattify skin with our expert advice on how to balance, purify, and clarify your combination or oily skin. Get top product recommendations to support your skin journey.
Visible pores and unwanted shine can be a daily challenge for oily and combination skin. That’s why we’ve created a lineup of combination skin care and oily skin care products that work synergistically to help balance excess oil—without drying skin, while also purifying, mattifying, and reducing the appearance of pores. Over production of oil is caused by the sebaceous glands in your skin, and, depending on both internal and external factors, the activity of these glands can change. Hormones, environmental stressors, the seasons of the year, can all affect how shiny your skin is. At Glo, we believe in clean without compromise. That means our skin care products to reduce pores are consciously formulated—powered by next-level actives—to repair your skin barrier while tackling excess oil head-on.
First up, opt for formulations that are oil-free, so you’re not adding any extra slickness to your complexion. Then look at mattifying ingredients such as salicylic acid—salicylic acid skincare helps balance, detox, and break down the oil in pores which could lead to breakouts. With gentle exfoliating properties, it helps to smooth skin texture while preventing future congestion. We also use microsponge technology in some of our products to help further absorb any excess oils. Niacinamide skincare is a great pore minimizer, reducing the appearance of pores as it cleans out any debris within them—helping them appear diminished in size. This powerhouse multitasker also strengthens the skin barrier and helps calm inflammation, making it ideal for anyone managing both oil and sensitivity.
Looking for makeup to complete a poreless look? Try a mattifying skin primer to reduce any shine before you apply your base, and with foundation, again go for oil free formulations or powders for a more matte finish. Think satin-smooth coverage that keeps skin looking fresh—not flat—throughout the day. The result? Skin that feels balanced, looks refined, and glows on your own terms.
