Powerful on Blackheads. Peaceful on Skin. Meet Pore Release.

Pore strips, clay masks, facial scrubs, extractors, vacuums and good old fashioned squeezing. If you have pores (and we all do), chances are you’ve tried to unclog them at some point with one – or all – of these blackhead removal methods.

While they may eliminate some of the gunk, these treatments often lead to more issues than they solve: skin damage, inflammation, infection or scarring (ouch!). So if you want to unplug the gunk without drying your skin, you’re going to want to try our newest drop: Pore Release.

It’s a powerfully gentle exfoliator that releases blackheads and pore-plugging buildup (without stressing skin) for clear, tight pores on the daily. Three levels of chemical exfoliation penetrate pores to unclog stubborn blackheads from the inside out – and you can see clear results in 3 uses!*

The best ingredients for clogged pores

Blackheads develop when pores become clogged with excess sebum (oil) and dead skin cells. If the clogged pore is open on the surface, it turns black from exposure to air and becomes a blackhead.

Traditional blackhead treatments – like strips or rough exfoliating scrubs – may appear to work, but along with the blackhead, they are pulling out or sloughing off the top layer of your skin, as well as your sebaceous filaments.

The best way to tackle blackheads is with ingredients that solve the issue from the inside out – chemical exfoliants that work together to dissolve the oil and dead skin causing the blackhead in the first place.

Pore Release uses triple exfoliating power, as PHA, AHA and BHA join forces to deliver clearer pores, fast.

• PHA 5% goes to work on the surface of the skin, clearing away dead skin cells. Its smoothing properties help to minimize the look of big pores.
• AHA 1% softens debris and lightly exfoliates the skin, leaving it smoother and more open to release pore-clogging buildup.
• BHA (the star of the show) max-strength 2% Salicylic Acid penetrates plugged-up pores to get rid of the gunk. Unlike other exfoliating ingredients that work on the surface of the skin, Salicylic Acid can get inside the pore. From there, it attracts and dissolves excess oil.

At the same time, Aloe + Lotus Water peacefully revitalize exfoliated skin. The gentle formula hydrates as it exfoliates, so it doesn’t leave skin feeling stripped – and there’s no stinging or burning on application.
