DHC Pore Face Wash foaming exfoliating cream cleanser — 4.2 oz, pore-minimizing for oily & acne-prone skin, fragrance-free

DHC Pore Face Wash is a foaming, exfoliating cream cleanser that clears excess oil and impurities while helping reduce the visible size of pores.

This clarifying cleanser pairs gentle chemical exfoliation with botanical support to refresh and balance skin without over-drying. Formulated without fragrance or colorants, it uses citrus-derived alpha hydroxy acids to slough away dull surface cells and fruit peel extracts to help remove pore-clogging debris. Hydrating olive leaf extract plus soothing horsetail kelp and calendula help maintain comfort during cleansing, making this a good option for oily or blemish-prone complexions and as the second step in a double-cleanse routine.

How does this cleanser reduce the look of pores?

The formula targets surface buildup and excess sebum that make pores appear larger. Mild AHAs loosen dead skin cells, while citrus peel extracts and foaming action wash away trapped impurities—resulting in a smoother-looking skin texture over time.

• Alpha hydroxy acids for light chemical exfoliation
• Grapefruit and orange peel extracts to help remove pore-clogging debris
• Foaming cream base that lifts oil and dirt without harsh stripping

Will it be too drying for sensitive or acne-prone skin?

It’s designed to cleanse thoroughly while protecting hydration; the formula avoids fragrance and artificial colorants and includes botanical hydrators and soothing extracts to minimize irritation. If you have very reactive skin, patch-test first or reduce frequency until you confirm tolerance.

• Olive leaf extract for lightweight hydration
• Horsetail kelp and calendula to calm skin after cleansing
• Fragrance- and colorant-free to lower irritation risk

How should I use it in my skincare routine?

Use as the second step in a double-cleanse: start with an oil-based cleanser to remove sunscreen and makeup, then follow with this foaming cream to deep-clean pores and exfoliate. Rinse thoroughly and continue with your toners, serums, and moisturizers.

• Apply to damp skin after oil cleanser or to wet face for single-step cleansing
• Massage gently then rinse; avoid aggressive scrubbing
• Follow with hydrating toner and targeted treatments as needed

How often should I use the Pore Face Wash?

Frequency depends on skin sensitivity and activity level. Many people benefit from daily use, morning or evening, while those with drier or reactive skin may prefer alternate days to avoid over-exfoliation.

• Daily for oily or blemish-prone skin types
• Alternate days if skin becomes dry or irritated
• Monitor skin response and adjust frequency accordingly

Who this is for: DHC Pore Face Wash suits someone seeking a balancing, clarifying cleanser that combines gentle chemical exfoliation with botanical hydration. It’s particularly helpful for oily or acne-prone complexions and for anyone who follows a double-cleanse routine. If you want to reduce surface dullness, remove excess oil, and help pores look cleaner without strong fragrances or dyes, this cleanser is designed for that purpose. As always, consult product ingredient lists if you have specific sensitivities or consult a skincare professional for personalized guidance.
