How to Keep Your Pores Clean, According to a Dermatologist

So, here's the deal: Your pores aren't actually "huge" — they're just clogged up with gunk and need to be, well, unclogged. You basically need a giant plunger for your face. But since things like pore vacuums don't really work (trust me, I've tried them, they are nonsense; do not waste your money), and performing home "extractions" on every single pore is too time-consuming and painful, we asked Dr. Loretta Ciraldo, MD FAAD — a Miami-based board-certified dermatologist with over 40 years' experience, and founder of Dr. Loretta Skincare — about which skin care products we SHOULD be using for our pores.
