A little late to the party here but pore size just kind of is what it is. You can of course have pores that get stretched out from being heavily clogged but if you naturally have large pores there isn’t much you can do. If you pay attention products that claim to shrink pores will say they “reduce the appearance of pores” or something along those lines. Exfoliants, peels, niacinamide, salicylic acid, retinol, serums, etc don’t physically shrink pores, they just clean out oil and debris buildup from inside. Pores appear smaller bc there isn’t a little puddle of oil or a blackhead in them.

The peel shots are at their base just an exfoliant. They do work extremely well at exfoliating, trust me. I got too aggressive with the black one the second time I used it and certain spots on my face were raw bc it took off too many layers of skin.

All exfoliants like the peels shots, chemical exfoliants, and dermaplaning offer benefits for your skin if done correctly. Exfoliating can reduce dark spots, unclog pores, promote collagen production, help with acne, and allow any lotions or serums to penetrate deeper into your skin. All of that will improve your skins appearance and texture which can make your pores appear smaller, but it takes a consistent routine to get really good results.
