FAQ

FAQ

Q: How does Pore Cleanse Gel Intense differ from Surface Radiance Cleanse?

A: Both are transformative gel cleansers featuring AHA/BHA complexes, but Surface Radiance Cleanse is especially recommended for addressing visible signs of ageing and dullness across all skin types. Pore Cleanse Gel Intense is specifically formulated for pore refinement and oil control, making it ideal for oily, combination, and blemish-prone skin concerned with enlarged pores and excess sebum.

Q: Can I use this cleanser if I have sensitive or dry skin?

A: Yes, but with caution. For sensitive or dry skin, our experts recommend using Pore Cleanse Gel Intense once daily or only when a deeper cleanse is required, rather than twice daily. The glycerin-infused formula helps maintain hydration, but the intensive AHA/BHA complex may be too strong for daily use on sensitive skin types.

Q: How long before I see results in pore appearance?

A: Many users notice immediate smoothing effects and reduced shine after first use. For visible pore minimisation and texture refinement, consistent use over 4-8 weeks typically yields optimal results, as the formula works to prevent new blockages whilst addressing existing congestion.

Q: Can I use this with other Medik8 pore-refining products?

A: Absolutely. Our experts recommend pairing Pore Cleanse Gel Intense with Press & Clear toner for enhanced pore-refining benefits. However, if you have sensitive skin, you may want to use only one exfoliating product per routine to avoid over-exfoliation.

Q: Is this suitable for double cleansing?

A: Yes, Pore Cleanse Gel Intense is ideal as the second step in a double cleansing routine. First cleanse with Lipid-Balance Cleansing Oil to dissolve makeup and sunscreen, then follow with Pore Cleanse Gel Intense to deeply purify pores and refine skin texture.

Medik8 Pore Cleanse Gel Intense | AHA/BHA Cleanser | 150ml

£22.99 £25.00

Product Overview - Medik8 Pore Cleanse Gel™ Intense

Medik8 Pore Cleanse Gel™ Intense is a powerful exfoliating gel cleanser that delivers professional-grade pore refinement through its clinically-proven AHA/BHA complex. This multi-action formula addresses the appearance of enlarged pores, uneven skin texture, and unwanted oiliness whilst maintaining optimal hydration levels. Unlike conventional pore-targeting products that can strip the skin, this glycerin-infused cleanser leaves the complexion feeling supple, smooth, and refreshed by an uplifting botanical scent.

The intensive formula features L-Mandelic Acid and Lactic Acid (AHAs) working on the skin's surface to gently exfoliate dead skin cells, whilst Salicylic Acid (BHA) penetrates deep within pores to dissolve impurities and sebum. Red Clover Extract acts as a natural astringent to regulate excess oil production, preventing pores from becoming stretched and enlarged. Suitable for oily, combination, and blemish-prone skin types seeking visible pore refinement and a clarified complexion.

Key Benefits at a Glance:

Immediate Benefits:
Long-Term Benefits:

With consistent use, Pore Cleanse Gel Intense supports a visibly clearer, more refined complexion. The powerful AHA/BHA combination works to prevent pore blockages before they form, reducing the likelihood of blemishes and congestion. Red Clover Extract helps regulate sebum production over time, addressing one of the primary causes of enlarged pores.

The gentle yet effective exfoliation promotes natural skin renewal, revealing a brighter, more even-toned complexion. Skin appears smoother, pores look practically invisible, and the overall texture becomes noticeably refined. This professional-grade cleanser supports long-term pore health whilst maintaining the skin's natural moisture balance.

How will it feel on my Skin?

The lightweight gel formula transforms into a soft, hydrating lather when massaged into moistened skin. The texture is refreshing yet gentle, gliding smoothly across the face without any harsh pulling or stripping sensation. The uplifting fusion of mint, lavender, and bergamot provides an invigorating sensory experience, making it the perfect early-morning wake-up call. After rinsing, skin feels deeply cleansed, smooth, and comfortable—never tight or dry. The complexion appears visibly refined, shine-free, and prepared for the next steps in your skincare routine.

Who is it Suitable For?

Unlike harsh pore products that compromise skin health, this formula combines intensive exfoliation with optimal hydration, ensuring skin remains balanced and comfortable. Our experts recommend this clinically-proven solution for anyone seeking visible pore minimisation without the dryness typically associated with AHA/BHA products.
