Do blackhead removal strips make pores larger?

Pore cleansing and blackheads removal strips do not influence pore size. They simply extract blackheads and pore-clogging debris from the skin. Having said that, in addition to weekly use pore cleansing strips such as the MDacne strips it’s a good idea to implement a blackheads prevention treatment that contains salicylic acid 2%, which will also help minimize the appearance of large pores.
