March is here, bringing longer days, fresh starts, and a little bit of luck! While everyone is searching for the gold at the end of the rainbow, many are also searching for a way to shrink their pores. But here’s the truth—pores are not the enemy! In fact, they play a vital role in keeping your skin healthy by allowing natural oils to reach the surface and protect your skin barrier. Instead of trying to erase them, shrink them or smooth them out, let’s focus on keeping them clean, clear, and happy!
How to Keep Your Pores Happy & Minimized
While you can’t completely shrink your pores (since their size is largely genetic), you can keep them clear and refined with the right treatments and skincare. At XO Aesthetics, we offer cutting-edge treatments and medical-grade skincare to help you achieve a smoother, more radiant complexion. And let’s be honest— when our complexion is good, we glow like gold!
1. Moxi Laser: Strike Gold for Pore Perfection
Looking for a powerful way to refine your pores? Moxi Laser is the ultimate treatment for minimizing the appearance of pores while also improving overall skin tone and texture. This gentle yet effective laser stimulates collagen, helping your skin look smoother, brighter, and more youthful—just in time for spring!

2. Hydrafacial: The Deep Clean Your Pores Crave
Dirt, oil, and debris can clog pores and make them appear larger. A Hydrafacial provides a deep cleanse, extracting impurities while infusing your skin with hydration and antioxidants. This treatment leaves your pores looking refined, refreshed, and glowing—no luck needed!
3. Microneedling: Boost Collagen, Minimize Pores
Want to improve skin texture and reduce pore size? Microneedling creates tiny micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production. Over time, this helps tighten the skin, making pores appear smaller and more refined.
4. Skincare Gold: The Right Ingredients for Clear Pores
Keeping pores clean starts with the right skincare routine. Look for ingredients that help exfoliate and regulate oil production:
✔️ Tretinoin & Retinol – Increase cell turnover and keep pores unclogged
✔️ Salicylic Acid – A BHA that penetrates deep into pores, dissolving oil and debris
✔️ Glycolic Acid – A powerful exfoliant that smooths skin and prevents congestion
Incorporating these ingredients into your routine will keep your pores happy, healthy, and looking their best.
Product Spotlight: Alastin Renewal Retinol .5
One of our favorite skincare products for refining pores is Alastin Renewal Retinol .5. This lipid-encapsulated retinol supports skin renewal, enhances texture, and helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles—all while being gentle on the skin. Infused with silver mushroom for deep hydration and oat extract for soothing benefits, this isn’t your average retinol!
