Facial pore blockage can be improved through deep cleansing and chemical exfoliation (also known as “acid peeling”). Deep cleansing involves using a high-efficacy facial cleanser followed by gentle massage, which helps remove debris or toxins trapped within the pores, thereby alleviating pore congestion. Chemical exfoliation typically employs salicylic acid or alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), which exert a keratolytic effect—shedding aged, dead skin cells and promoting the expulsion of toxins from within the pores.
