??? Help - it looks like my pores are increasing. Why is this? What can I do? Here is my routine...could you please look over it and see if it is ok and if I should add something.

FYI - I was using Renova. Couldn't get over dryness, was using 2-3 per week. Decided to stop and work on getting my skin barrier corrected and then reintroduce Renova which I anticipate will be late summer.

I have bought Clinique Mild Clarifying Lotion and am currently using it every 3rd night with last night being night #2. I hope to work up to daily if not 2x day.

I am awaiting shipment of Skincetuicals C+E...never used before and I also use a lightner but have just recently ran out. I am exploring trying to newest Clinique evening out product.

Morning
Cleanse - CerVa
** Will be adding in C+E
Moisturize - Atopalm + sunscreen or Aveeno w/ SPF 15

Night
Cleanse - CerVa
** Lightner, when I get some more
Moisturize - Atopalm or CerVa.

I will also be adding the Clinique MC Lotion after the cleanser once I determine how often I can use.

Any thoughts? Would a Clarisonic make pores worse...it is supposed to make them better (that is if I were using a Clarisonic :-X)

Thank you guys!
