What are Deep Pore Cleansing Facials?

A deep pore cleansing facial is a treatment performed by an esthetician to unclog pores using special products and tools, such as steam, exfoliants (occasionally, chemical exfoliants), and extraction devices, to promote healthier skin. Professional facials may also include a facial massage, light therapy, or clay masks to enhance skin health.

One essential aspect of this treatment is managing sebum, the skin’s natural defense. It’s important not to demonize sebum—our goal isn’t to remove it but to maintain its balance. Sebum plays a vital role in protecting the skin, and the objective of deep pore cleansing is to prevent it from becoming excessive and turning from friend to enemy.

Excess sebum can lead to enlarged pores, especially in areas with higher production levels or under influences like pollution, UV exposure, and natural aging, which can also decrease collagen and skin elasticity.

To respect and maintain the skin's ecosystem, [ comfort zone ] cleansers use biomimetic formulations that mimic the skin’s natural structure, including ingredients that resemble natural sebum, supporting a balanced and healthy complexion.
