~ use an exfoliating facial cleanser ~ always moisturize morning and night (gel type, non comedogenic, oil free, avoid emollient or occlusive ingredients) ~ use face mask every twice or thrice a week (clay mask works best) ~ dont skip SPF (oil free, non comedogenic) ~ exfoliating toner (once to twice a week) ~ add retinol (not really necessary)

yes, that's great for beginners with low percentage of 2 to 5% of niacinamide . but if u want more effective, use 5% of it ^^ . it ll be ok for beginners as it won't causing any irritation .

Niacinamide is a good ingredient for pores. Other than that, you can use chemical exfoliants to clean your pores to minimise its appearance. You can try salicylic acid that cleans deep into the pores. These are some you can try :)

Hi! I'm a beginner so I think I may have a few misses but it's what it works for me. My morning routine consists of cleanser, toner, serum and niacinamide moisturizer. Because I have oily skin and large pores I exfoliate twice a week with AHA and BHA pads. My night routine is similar to the morning one but I add retinol. Again, I'm a beginner but you can start basic and then add little by little other products. Don't overdo it because it can be more harm than good. Hope it helps.

I have the same problem as yours before. I tried double cleansing and I also use cleanser with BHA. Exfoliating can be good too but don't over exfoliate as it will strip your skin. I preferably exfoliate 1-2 times a in week.

I would say use products that contain BHA, Niacinamide in them. Stop using products that contain a lot of oils as these can clog your pores.
