Detailed answer

Pore strips may temporarily remove some surface debris and blackheads, giving the appearance of smaller pores, but they do not actually reduce the size of pores. Pores are mostly determined by genetics and cannot be permanently altered by external products or treatments. Pore strips primarily work by adhesive and mechanical action, pulling out the contents of the pores without affecting the actual size. For long-term pore reduction, it is best to focus on maintaining a consistent skincare routine that includes proper cleansing, exfoliation, and gentle products that promote healthy skin cell turnover.
