Hyaluronic acid is a very good humectant that attracts moisture about 1000 times its own molecular weight.

How to reduce enlarged pores 1) Reduce sebum The factors that determine the amount of sebum are very diverse, such as genetic factors, eating habits, temperature, humidity, and sex hormones. Even with age, the amount of moisture decreases, but the amount of sebum hardly decreases. In order to reduce enlarged pores, it is most important to maintain a reduced level of sebum secretion. 2) How to reduce sebum Isotretinoin, an oral drug, is known to be the only one.
