Skin pore status affects skin health
Clinical and dermatological studies frequently evaluate skin pore status alongside sebum levels and hydration as key indicators of overall facial skin quality and health.
The claim that skin pore status affects skin health is well-supported by dermatological literature, where pore size and appearance are routinely tracked as standard parameters of skin quality, barrier function, and aesthetic condition in clinical trials and cosmetic evaluations. While one study [2] found no direct correlation between subjective skin types and pore size, multiple interventional and observational studies [1, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10] treat pore metrics as central indicators of skin condition and health.

Paper [1] evaluates pore size and sebum content as key parameters reflecting human skin health and characteristics when testing herbal emulsions.

Paper [2] found that clinical pore size scores did not differ significantly between oily and dry-skinned groups or correlate with casual sebum levels.
