Scars and Pores
Enlarged pores are due to multiple factors such as loss elastin due to aging, sun exposure accelerating aging and increased sebum production. Loss of elastin and increase sebum cause the pores to stretch, leading to enlargement. If these pores are clogged, inflammation ensues and with the presence of bacteria leading to acne outbreak. Acne then leads to formation of acne scars, mainly divided into boxcar, rolling and icepick scars.

Uneven skin texture
Uneven skin texture is commonly a result of excess dead skin cells that build up on the surface of the skin. This can make areas of the skin feel rough or bumpy to the touch and can also give the skin a dull appearance. Factors such as smoking, aging, eczema and dehydration also contribute to uneven skin texture.

Pigmentation
Melanin produced by melonocyte cells on our skin is what determines the color of our skin and protect us from ultraviolet (UV) rays produced by the sun. However, too much sun exposure leads to overproduction of melanin, leading to pigmentary disorders such as freckles, lentigos and melasma.

Wrinkles
Wrinkles are the lines and creases that form in your skin as a result of the aging process in which we lose collagen and elastin. This in turns leads to skin laxity and decrease in elasticity which contributes to formation of wrinkles. Wrinkles can categorise into static wrinkles, which are seen when our face is at rest (meaning no expression) and dynamic wrinkles, which are seen when we smile, laugh, frown or raise our eyebrows.
