The Pore Tube Fit Check
Our pick for: The cleanse step before any extraction or mask
Skill level: Total beginner
Where it fits: Step one, every time
Our verdict: Boring in the best way. Good cleansers don’t need to be exciting.
Every good session starts with clean skin, and this is our kind of cleanser: fragrance-free, easy to find, and it has a little salicylic acid built in. You don’t need to overthink step one, you just need it to be done right.
Why it earned a spot on our shelf
Starting with a clean face means your tools stay cleaner and your skin isn’t covered in oil, sunscreen or makeup when you begin. CeraVe’s SA cleanser is gentle enough for most people to use daily, and it’s the one we’d point a beginner to first.
How to use it like we do on camera
- Wet your face with lukewarm water.
- Massage a small amount in for 30 to 60 seconds, focusing on the nose and chin.
- Rinse and pat dry with a clean towel.
- Move on to steam or your next step.
Coach’s tip
Those 30 to 60 seconds of massage matter. Most people rinse way too fast.
Pair it with
DHC Cleansing Oil, NanoSteamer, Paula’s Choice BHA
Skip it if…
your skin gets irritated by salicylic acid. A plain gentle cleanser works too.
