Understanding Acne, Skin Congestion & Pores
Acne, skin congestion and enlarged pores are common skin concerns that can affect individuals at various life stages. These conditions are influenced by a combination of internal and external factors, including hormonal activity, excess sebum production, follicular blockage, inflammation and impaired skin barrier function.
Acne develops when hair follicles become obstructed by oil and dead skin cells, creating an environment that may encourage bacterial activity and inflammation. Skin congestion refers to the accumulation of excess oil, debris and cellular build-up within pores, often presenting as blackheads, whiteheads or uneven texture. Enlarged pores may become more noticeable when excess sebum and debris stretch the follicular opening or when surrounding skin loses structural support.
Environmental exposure, inappropriate skincare, stress and genetic predisposition can further contribute to these concerns. A professional skin assessment is essential to identify contributing factors and guide appropriate management.
At Phēau, concerns around acne, congestion, pores and scarring are assessed using an individualised, evidence-based approach by our skincare therapists and cosmetic doctors.
