Biore Pore Unclogging Scrub ($5.99) Our gentle but super effective scrub uses perfectly spherical beads — not jagged edges, like some competitors’ scrub ingredients — to detoxify skin. The scrub penetrates deep down where breakouts start to help prevent future ones. Show the door to pore cloggers and get ready for beautiful, clear, smooth skin.
A single use of this powerful but gentle exfoliator gives you visible results you can feel as well as see.
- Goodbye, flakiness and dead skin cells; get ready to welcome a softer, smoother complexion.
- This effective cleanser is a great pre-treatment before applying your Pore Strip (smooth skin is easier for a pore strip to cling to).
- Gentle enough for everyday use, or use several times a week in combination with your favorite Bioré® cleanser.
My Thoughts:
I am actually quite surprised at how much I like this cleanser. It’s a cream cleanser with microbeads. It cleanses and gently exfoliates (it’s not the best) at the same time. Gotta love multitasking products! However, it does leave your face a little bit dried out because it contains salicylic acid. This problem can easily be solved with a good facial moisturizer. I love the smell and the after feeling. It’s so refreshing! When you first apply the cleanser to your face, you immediately feel a tingly, cooling sensation. I’m not sure if it helps with treating acne, because I didn’t really have any when I used the Biore Pore Unclogging Scrub. I can say though I didn’t break out while using the cleanser. Overall, it’s not the best and it’s not the worst cleanser I’ve tried. It is definitely worth a try, and it’s relatively inexpensive compared to other cleansers.

Biore SkinPreservation Dual Fusion Moisturizer SPF 30 ($14.99) Dual Fusion™ Moisturizer gives you exactly what you want: a nourishing moisturizer in one chamber and sun protection in the other. Together, they strengthen & defend your skin without ever making it feel greasy.
Why 2 chambers?
By keeping the moisturizer separate from sunscreen, the unique Dual Fusion™ moisturizer dispenser preserves the power of each formula. That means maximum effectiveness and protection for you.
The sunscreen has a powerful zinc oxide base – and yet isn’t heavy and white like traditional zinc oxide. The product feels light on your skin as it offers superb UVA and UVB protection.
- Botanamide™ Technology
- Oil Free
- Non-comedogenic (won’t clog pores)
- Dermatologist tested
- Hypo-allergenic
- 100% PABA free
My Thoughts:
This facial moisturizer is aimed at people who are still battling acne and now beginning to deal with wrinkles or wanting to prevent aka “in between skin.” It’s a light weight moisturizer that doesn’t leave your face feeling greasy. There’s a light scent to it. I don’t like the dual chambers because sometimes only one product will come out and not the other. I like that it has SPF 30 in it because usually facial moisturizers are only SPF 15. It’s actually a pretty good facial moisturizer. The fragrance/scent might irritate people with sensitive skin or allergies (me).
