I have been blaming the Copper Peptides I used in the past, for the enlarged pores I now have, but am wondering if my faithful use of physical sunscreens (zinc/titanium) and mineral makeup
has also contributed to the problem. Any thoughts? This fear is making me consider switching back to a chemical sunscreen (Anthelios) and an old fashioned liquid foundation (but which one???)

I don't think they make your pores bigger , but they are more likely to clog your pores because they are hard to wash off, in my opinion you need something oil based to wash off minerals

As long as you use makeup remover every night and remove your makeup very deeply, the cosmetics would not do harm to your skin.
Anyway, Mineral cosmetics is a new technology and is supposed to be much more safe for our skin. So, why not just trust it?

I think maybe it can clog pores which can make them look larger. I've read in the past that TD can clog pores, although I'm very acne prone and have never had an issue with it. I think the inactive ingredients in your SS are more likely the cause.

I know some people don't have luck with CP's so I guess that a value possibility.
