DHC Pore Face Wash foaming cream cleanser — 4.2 oz, pore-minimizing AHA exfoliant for oily, acne-prone skin

DHC Pore Face Wash is a foaming, pore-minimizing cream cleanser that gently exfoliates, removes excess oil and impurities, and helps reveal clearer-looking skin without harsh stripping.

This fragrance- and colorant-free facial cleanser is formulated for oily and blemish-prone skin. Citrus-derived alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) provide light surface exfoliation to help slough away dead skin cells and brighten the complexion, while olive leaf extract supports hydration. Soothing botanicals like horsetail kelp extract and calendula calm skin after cleansing. Designed to pair with an oil-based first cleanse in a double-cleanse routine, this product aims to clear pores, manage sebum, and leave skin balanced.

How does this cleanser reduce the look of pores?

The formula combines gentle foaming action with citrus AHAs to dislodge trapped oil, debris and surface dead skin that can stretch pore openings. Regular use helps the skin surface appear smoother and less congested without overdrying.

• Alpha hydroxy acids for light chemical exfoliation
• Foaming cream texture lifts away sebum and impurities
• Botanical extracts soothe rather than strip moisture
• Works well as the second step in a double-cleanse routine

Will this cleanser be too drying for my skin?

Although it targets oil and congestion, the formula includes olive leaf extract to help maintain moisture and calendula plus horsetail kelp extract to calm the skin. It's crafted to cleanse thoroughly while avoiding the tight, stripped feeling some harsher formulas leave behind.

• Hydrating olive leaf extract helps retain skin moisture
• Soothing botanicals reduce irritation risk
• Fragrance- and colorant-free to minimize sensitizing ingredients

How should I include DHC Pore Face Wash in my skincare routine?

For best results on oily or breakout-prone skin, use this as the second step after an oil-based cleanser: first remove makeup and sunscreen with oil, then apply this foaming cream to cleanse pores more deeply. Follow with toner/serum and moisturizer suited to your skin type.

• Step 1: Oil cleanser to dissolve makeup and surface oil
• Step 2: Rinse and apply DHC Pore Face Wash to damp skin
• Step 3: Rinse thoroughly and continue with treatments and moisturizer

What skin concerns and types benefit most from this product?

This cleanser is aimed at oily, combination, and acne-prone skin types that need a balance of exfoliation and soothing. It is fragrance- and colorant-free, making it a suitable choice for those who prefer minimal-additive formulations while addressing pore congestion and shine.

• Ideal for oily and blemish-prone skin
• Helpful for visible pore congestion and excess sebum
• Suitable for those avoiding fragrances and added colorants

Who is this for: DHC Pore Face Wash is intended for people seeking a clarifying yet gentle daily cleanser that targets excess oil, visible pores and surface dullness. If you follow a double-cleanse routine or use active treatments for acne or texture, this foaming exfoliating cream can be integrated as a reliable second-step cleanser to cleanse deeper without excessive drying. Those with sensitive skin who are cautious about fragrances and unnecessary dyes will appreciate the pared-down formula and botanical support.
