Create a canvas of flawless skin with Picture Porefect
pore minimizing solution.
While a pore's physical diameter cannot be changed, Picture Porefect is proven to give superior results in helping pores appear smaller - removes excess skin oils, crops out blackheads and smoothes out edges.
Pore dilatation begins with faulty exfoliation of cells lining the interior sebaceous gland - cells are too "sticky" leading to microscopic plugs. Once formed, sebum accumulates. Protracted pooling of skin oils serves to both nourish bacteria (like P. acnes and S. dis) and ultimately leads to inflammation, and acne formation.
Blackheads medically referred to as "open comedones" - are an all too common outcome. Plugs within the pores composed of sebum, cellular debris and bacteria congest the gland and expand the pore. Contact with air allows oxygenation to take place, turning the plugs black, further heightening visibility.
Sebum Sequestering Micro-Particles "soak up" excess sebum produced by sebaceous oil glands. Reduced sebum discreetly helps create an environment hostile to bacterial growth, thus deterring acne formation.
Retinol, Hydroxys and Azelaic Acid refine pores. Edges are easily smoothed and blackheads loosened and exfoliated.
Azelaic Acid is a naturally occurring dicarboxylic acid found in grains like wheat, rye and barley. Azelaic acid has been shown in lab studies to possess antibacterial activity against common skin bacteria Proprionobacterium acnes (P. acnes) and Staphylococcus epidermidis (S. epidermidis). It may also play a role in normalizing the keratinization process within the gland, bestowing it with anti-acne/anti-comedogenic talent.
Willow Bark Extract and Green Tea help reduce inflammation commonly associated with early forming acne.
Aluminum Zirconium Tetra Chlorohydrex Glycine is an astringent agent that temporarily draws pores closed.

Independent Clinical Study
Results |
An independent
clinical study has shown using Picture Porefect results in statistically significant improvement in the size of pores on the face as measured by Hi-Scope video microscopy between baseline and each post-application time interval (15 minutes post-application, Week 2, Week 4, Week 6 and Week 8).
Clinical microscopy of select subjects: |

|
|
| These differences at each time interval represent reductions in pore size equivalent to 29%, 23%, 25%, 35% and 39%, respectively, relative to pore size measured at baseline. |

For external use only. Keep out of reach of children. Wear a broad spectrum sunscreen SPF 30 when using products containing glycolic acid. People who are allergic to salicylates (found in aspirin) should not use products containing willow bark or salicylic acid. Pregnant or nursing women should talk to their doctor before using any products containing salicylic acid. I have blackheads on the sides of my nose and on my chin, what product do you recommend?
I recommend DERMAdoctor Picture Porefect, with alpha hydroxy acids, azelaic acid, retinol and astringents to help minimize the appearance of your pores.
I heard you cannot change the size of your pores, is that true?
While a pore's physical diameter cannot be changed, Picture Porefect helps pores appear smaller – removes excess skin oils, crops out blackheads and smoothes out edges.
What causes blackheads to form?
Blackheads – medically referred to as "open comedones" – are an all too common outcome. Plugs within the pores composed of sebum, cellular debris and bacteria congest the gland and expand the pore. Contact with air allows oxygenation to take place, turning the plugs black, further heightening visibility.
What is the difference between Picture Porefect and Tease Zone?
Both DERMAdoctor Picture Porefect and DERMAdoctor Tease Zone contain our exclusive Sebum Sequestering Micro-Particles in different concentrations. Picture Porefect is a treatment product used to minimize the appearance of blackheads and pores. Tease Zone is a 'quick fix' product used to absorb surface oils on the skins surface.
How long before I see results with Picture Porefect?
Skin treatment products should be given 4-6 weeks of continued use for optimal results to be seen.
Do I need an additional moisturizer when using Picture Porefect?
Generally speaking, if your skin is oily to combination, you should not need an additional moisturizer, however you will need a lightweight sun protection product like DERMAdoctor Body Guard daily. If your skin is combination to dry, you may need an additional moisturizer on top of Picture Porefect, followed by sun protection.
Can I use Picture Porefect if I am pregnant?
Picture Porefect contains retinol, which should be avoided during pregnancy or while nursing.
When do I apply Picture Porefect?
Picture Porefect should be applied at night or twice daily. Start your routine with application every other evening for two weeks before applying every night. Sunscreen should be applied daily.
