Peter Thomas Roth Microdermabrasion Exfoliating Pore Purifier — Even Smoother 2% Salicylic Acid for Oil Control

Even Smoother™ Microdermabrasion Exfoliating Pore Purifier is a triple-action exfoliant that polishes, dissolves, and clarifies skin to visibly reduce clogged pores and uneven texture.

This concentrated treatment combines physical, enzymatic, and chemical exfoliation to target the surface and deeper pore congestion without harsh irritation. Formulated with smoothing crystals, a microencapsulated enzymatic complex, 2% salicylic acid, and clarifying clays, it aims to refine skin texture, lift away debris, and help control excess oil for a fresher, more even-looking complexion.

How does this product clear and refine clogged pores?

The formula uses three complementary mechanisms to tackle pore congestion. Physical crystals sweep away dead skin and surface buildup, enzymes loosen gentle bonds between dull cells and skin, and salicylic acid penetrates into pores to help dissolve trapped oil and impurities.

• 2% salicylic acid for lipid-soluble pore penetration
• Smoothing crystals provide mechanical polishing
• 5% microencapsulated enzymatic complex helps lift surface debris
• Kaolin and Bentonite clays absorb excess oil and clarify

Is this exfoliant suitable for oily or acne-prone skin?

It was designed with oil control and pore decongestion in mind, making it a good match for oily and combination skin types that experience visible pore buildup. Because it combines chemical and physical exfoliation, start slowly to assess tolerance and avoid over-exfoliation.

• Helps manage excess oil and surface shine
• Targets the look of congested pores without daily use
• Recommended to patch test and gradually increase frequency
• Pair with gentle cleansers and sun protection after use

How should I use the microdermabrasion pore purifier in my routine?

Apply to clean, dry skin once or twice weekly depending on sensitivity. Massage briefly to feel the crystals and enzymatic action, then rinse thoroughly; follow with hydrating or calming products and daily SPF to protect newly revealed skin.

• Use on clean, dry face—avoid active irritated areas
• Massage gently for 30–60 seconds, then rinse completely
• Start with once weekly, increase as tolerated
• Always finish with moisturizer and sunscreen during daytime

What visible improvements can I expect and when?

With regular, recommended use you may notice smoother skin texture and a less congested appearance within a few sessions. Continuous use helps maintain refined-looking pores and reduced surface debris, though individual results vary based on skin type and routine consistency.

• Smoother surface texture after several uses
• Reduced look of clogged pores with ongoing use
• Improved clarity when paired with oil-control skincare
• Results depend on frequency and complementary products

Who is this for: This microdermabrasion pore purifier suits people seeking a stronger at-home exfoliant to refine texture and manage pore congestion—especially those with oily, combination, or congested skin. If your skin is very sensitive, inflamed, or compromised, consult a skincare professional and introduce the product cautiously.
