So I've been using retinoids and BHAs and am seeing a definite improvement in my clogged pores. What I'm also seeing is a LOT of oil--and wow, I have visible pores all over my face, even my cheeks! I guess I never noticed them before because they were all clogged (eww!).

My theory is this: my face is as oily as it's ever been, but now the oil flows freely instead of getting trapped behind a clog. Better out than in, I guess, but wow--I'm really going to have to figure out how to deal with this oil. For starters, I need another sunscreen!

Has this happened to any of you?
