What should you know about Mamaearth Bye Bye open pores products?

Short answer
Open-pore products can reduce surface oil or improve skin texture temporarily, but they cannot close pores because pores are normal skin structures.
This answers one question. It is not a diagnosis and does not replace an assessment by a licensed doctor.

What large pores mean
Pores are openings around hair follicles and oil glands. They may look larger when oil, dead skin, or a comedone makes the opening more visible. Genetics, oily skin, reduced skin firmness, and sun-related change can also affect their appearance. Large pores are not holes that need sealing, and aggressive scrubbing can make nearby skin irritated and more noticeable.
What you can do
Cleanse gently, moisturise, and use daily sun protection. Avoid squeezing plugs and be cautious with products that leave persistent burning or peeling. Topical Retinoids may help regulate pore blockage and support smoother texture when prescribed or recommended appropriately. Microneedling may be considered for texture after a clinician checks for active inflammation, pigmentation risk, and suitability. Acne or Sun-Damaged Skin may need treatment alongside pore-focused care.
When to seek care
Seek advice if enlarged-looking pores come with painful acne, frequent blocked follicles, sudden texture change, persistent rash, or irritation from a product. Assessment is useful when marks or uneven colour are developing, because treating inflammation first can reduce the chance of additional discoloration.
Questions for your doctor
Ask what is making the pores prominent, whether a retinoid is suitable, how to protect your skin from pigment changes, and whether microneedling fits your texture and recovery needs.

Questions people ask
