Reviews

Leaves my skin so clean and smooth.

"I’ve been using Pore Cleanse Gel for 4 weeks now as part of my skin care routine. I use to suffer with blackheads around my nose but since using Pore Cleanse Gel I haven’t noticed any. I love how the gel foams but also gives gently exfoliation. You only have to use a tiny amount of the gel so the tube may seam expensive but it lasts ages and is worth every penny."

— Victoria H. (5/5)

Pore cleanse

"At 52 I still have very oily skin and large pores on my nose and cheeks. This product has made a massive difference to my skin!!! Love the smell, my face feels clean without feeling dry and tight."

— Zoe W. (5/5)

Great cleanser

"This is the 4th time I’ve purchased Medik8 Pore Cleanse Gel, and I keep coming back to it! It really helps keep my skin feeling clean and fresh while minimising the appearance of my pores. My skin feels smoother and clearer after using it, without feeling stripped or dry. Definitely a staple in my skincare routine!"

— Liga D. (5/5)

"Cleanses without drying, use intermittently with miceller cleanser"

— Susan B. (5/5)

I’ve been using this cleanser

"I’ve been using this cleanser for over 3 years now and it’s my No. 1 go to product from Medik8. It produces a lovely light foam which removes all traces of makeup and you only need a very small amount so a little goes a long way. My skin doesn’t feel tight or dry afterwards and it’s helped in reducing my enlarged pores. I would highly recommend."

— Fiona T. (5/5)

A solid staple

"Currently my favourite Medik8 cleanser as part of my night routine. A little goes a long way and my skin feels clean without tightness or extreme dryness"

— Gabrielle T. (5/5)

Clearer Skin

"Great product my skin feels really clean my pores aren’t clogged. I’ve found that products now absorbing into my skin better"

— Sukhi M. (5/5)

Pore Cleanse Gel™ Intense

"My skin doesn’t feel dry or tight after using the Pore Cleanse Gel, but it still gives a really nice feeling of freshness and deep cleansing. I’ve also noticed fewer breakouts since I started using it."

— Ganna K. (5/5)

The Deep Pore Cleanse

"Another favourite cleanser. I use this alone in the morning or as a second step in the evening. Really deep cleanses without leaving your skin dehydrated, stripped of its barrier or anything like it. Rather it cushions it in softness and an amazing clean feeling."

— Jennifer B. (5/5)

For morning routine

"Gently care for my skin! Like, recommended to my husband, using together"

— Anastasiia T. (5/5)

Q&A

Hello is this cleanser good for breakouts and decongestion? I have sensitive skin so worried to use the clarifying foam. Thanks
Hi Chantelle, thanks for your question and we would love to help you with this! Pore Cleanse Gel Intense is a strong acid-based gel cleanser that would not be suitable for sensitive skin. In this case, we would actually recommend using a gentle cleanser such as Gentle Cleanse followed by Press & Clear a few times a week to help gently clear congestion. Thanks, Medik8.
Hello is this cleanser good for breakouts and congestion? I would buy the clarifying foam cleanser but I have sensitive skin. Thanks
Hello Chantelle, Thanks for your question. Yes, our Pore Cleanse Gel intense is a deep clarifying gel cleanser, gently removing daily impurities and oil to minimise the appearance of enlarged pores leaving the complexion hydrated and smooth. This cleanser will help with breakouts and congestion of the skin. Thanks, Medik8 Team
Can I use this with the press and glow? I’m also using the crystal retinal every two days
Hi Shivani, you can certainly use Pore Cleanse Gel Intense alongside Press & Glow as Pore Cleanse Gel Intense is a wash-off acid so does not remain on the skin whereas Press & Glow is a leave-on acid. If you notice any increase in dryness, cut back how often you use acid products accordingly. Thanks, Medik8.

I have mildly sensitive skin and wondering if this might be too much for it. I’ve been using the cream cleanse but it just doesn’t clean all the sunscreen off at night.
Hi Hannah, thank you for your question. If your skin is sensitive, you would be better suited to our Lipid Balance Cleansing Oil, this can remove make up and any other products. I hope this helps. Thanks, Medik8.
