Dirt, dead cells, makeup, and other substances can form a plug in the pore. This plug (commonly called a blackhead) stretches the opening of the follicle. When the plug is removed, the follicle becomes smaller. During a series of deep pore cleansing facial treatments, hundreds of enlarged follicles are cleansed, and as a result, the pores close, giving the complexion a more refined appearance.

If your pores are enlarged because of increased amounts of sebum flowing out of them, then yes, B5 will help reduce pore size. How? Each pore is ringed and regulated by tiny muscles that can expand or contract the pore opening. When your skin is excreting more sebum than normal, the pores expand to allow the sebum to flow out. Dirt, debris, and hardened sebum can also remain trapped in the pore, keeping it expanded.

They are pores which have holes in their walls that allow gasses or liquids to flow to and from other pores. This is similar to the structure of sponges. An example of closed pores is bubble wrap packaging: gasses or liquids can not enter or exit the pores (i.e., the bubbles) without breaking them.
