Abstract: 【Abstract】 Enlarged facial pores remain a common skin concern. Its occurrence is mainly associated with increased sebum production, skin aging (skin laxity and decreased skin elasticity), increased hair follicle size and other factors, and current treatments for enlarged facial pores mainly target these factors. This review retrospectively summarizes current common treatments, including oral antiandrogens, topical retinoids, chemical peels, lasers, radiofrequency and focused ultrasound. The increasing development of photoelectric devices offers newer and more reliable choices.
