Reviews

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."

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."

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.
