Combination skin can get the worst of both worlds. Enlarged pores are often spotted in the T-zone, but they can also show up elsewhere when your skin's oily and dry areas aren’t playing nice together. Too much oil in the T-zone can cause pore drama, while dry spots can make pores pop more. Throw in some environmental stressors, and you’ve got a recipe for noticeable pores. This routine brings back the balance—controlling oil where needed, hydrating dry patches, and refining skin texture to visibly smooth and minimize the appearance of pores.
