How to Effectively Clean Large Pores
Achieving clear, refined skin starts with thorough pore cleansing. If you struggle with large pores, especially on your nose, using the right cleansing techniques and products is essential. Here’s your comprehensive guide to effectively cleanse and manage large pores.
The Best Cleansers for Pores on The Nose
When selecting a cleanser opt for ones which contain ingredients that unclog and minimise pores:
Salicylic Acid cleansers: ideal for oily and acne-prone skin, Salicylic Acid penetrates deep into pores, dissolving oil and debris that can lead to pore congestion.
Glycolic Acid cleansers: exfoliate the skin's surface, promoting smoother texture and reducing the appearance of enlarged pores.
Charcoal cleansers: known for their purifying properties, Charcoal cleansers draw out impurities and excess oil from pores, making them particularly suitable for oily skin.
Pore Cleansing Techniques for Optimal Results
Double cleansing: start with an oil-based cleanser to dissolve makeup, sunscreen, and excess oil. Follow with a water-based cleanser to remove any remaining impurities without stripping the skin.
Gentle exfoliation: Incorporate exfoliation 2-3 times per week to remove dead skin cells and prevent pore blockages. We recommend using a mild exfoliant to avoid irritating the skin.
Steam treatment: Using steam to open pores before cleansing helps loosen debris and allows your cleanser to clean the skin more thoroughly.
Our Enzyme Cleanser exfoliates gently yet effectively to leave skin smoother and more radiant. The formula transforms from a fine powder into a rich lather upon contact with water. Powered by Papain Enzymes, Shikimic Acid and our signature NAC Y²™ complex, it sweeps away dead skin cells and unclogs pores.
"This cleanser has become an absolute must-have in my routine. I have congestion and breakout-prone skin, and this does an amazing job of cleansing and balancing without making my skin dry. It prepares the skin perfectly for the serum and cream application afterwards, leaving it feeling much softer."
Cleansing Routine Tips
Consistency: cleanse your skin twice daily - in the morning and evening - to prevent build-up of oils on the skin and debris in the pores.
Avoid harsh skincare products: steer clear of strong cleansers that can strip the skin and trigger excess oil production.
Moisturise: Use a lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturiser that hydrates the skin without clogging pores.
