  2. Effective daily cleanser

    Chloe

    This cleanser is perfect for my middle-aged combination skin. I only need a tiny amount as it lathers well. My skin feels clean all over but not dried out.
  3. Alright but not worth the price

    AllyP

    Good cleanser with nice texture although there are better products available for the price.
  4. Great deep cleanser

    Nadia

    A great deep cleanser, I would buy again if it was a bit cheaper.
  5. Great

    This products worked in a WEEK.
  6. Noticed a HUGE difference

    Cassandra

    I was so hopefully this product would work as I have very very large pores over my nose, cheeks and chin. WOW what a difference pores were significantly smaller even after the first use.
  7. Sounded good

    Julia

    I bought this because I heard an expert talk about it on the adore beauty podcast but it made me break out in big juicy pimples. I thought my skin was purging but eventually stopped using it because my skin looked worse. Perhaps BHA is too harsh for my skin
  8. Great cleanser

    Britta 11

    I really love this cleanser. It is not overly foamy but it also goes to work on my acne well. The active ingredients are designed to target acne without being too overbearing. I have tried many products over the years but this is one I would happily recommend. My skin loves it - it has certainly not become dry or red etc. and kept it at bay. Thanks Medik8.
  9. Best product to remove stubborn blackheads

    I have tried EVERYTHING to remove/reduce my blackheads but they are so stubborn and nothing has made any real difference. This products worked in a WEEK. my blackheads where significantly reduced and have remained minimal. NOTE. my skin does air on the side of sensitive, and when i used two days in a row i did have some redness/dryness and an initial breakout. So what i chose to do was use this p...

  11. All time fav

    Hayley

    This is my all time favourite cleanser. I love that it has AHAs and BHAs. It has cleared my skin right up. The foaming aspect made me a bit nervous, as foaming usually strips my skin, but this has not. It just glides so smoothly and a little bit goes a long way. love love love!
  12. Use sparingly for normal skin

    Cat

    I've been having breakouts around my chin and have large pores. This worked really well in my early 20s, but now in my early 30s it really dried out my skin, even only using it once daily. Hoping it may recover with every other day use,
  13. Only for really oily days

    Char

    I have oily skin and if I use this product daily, it completely dries out my skin and I feel like it breaks down my skin barrier. Therefore I go between a more gentle cleanser and this product. It works great on days when my skin is really oily and I feel like it thoroughly cleans my skin.
  14. Solved my acne

    Abby Cooper

    I had recently struggled with my skin these last 12 months, and started using this and it cleared my skin right up! Have just bought my second one.
  15. Good try

    Sss

    It works but the price is a little bit higher than I perspective
  16. Amazing product for oily skin

    AJK 37

    This cleanser has made a huge difference to my skin. I have large pores and from the first use it cleansed them fully. Over time my skin has become much clearer as the salicylic acid has brought oil up to the surface and enabled exfoliation products to be more effective. Highly recommend.
  17. Great product!

    lauzy25

    I bought this product after having a huge breakout after wearing masks for 3 months. I'd tried everything and this cleanser really improved my skin within a few weeks. Would purchase again.
  18. Incredible

    Sarah

    Such a good cleanser! It reduces the look of pores and reduces redness. Would definitely buy it again!
  19. Noticeable difference

    Elliej

    Noticeable improvement and reduction in pore size especially on my cheeks. Pleasant smell and didn't react as it wasn't a harsh cleanser to switch to.
  20. Reduces pores

    Anne

    Using this product helps reduce the appearances of pores after use. The effect doesn't last for long though.
  21. too gentle

    ada

    I will only use this in the morning
  22. All round great product

    Jo

    I bought this after being recommended it by the lady who does my facials and I am so far very impressed. It lathers up well between my fingers and doesn't feel like it is stripping my skin despite the 'intense' claim which is great
  23. The best cleanser!!

    Steph

    I used to suffer with really bad acne and this cleanser helped me clear my skin so much! Could not recommend it enough!
  24. great cleanser

    shay

    this is a great cleanser, leaves my skin soft and clean and did not seem to irritate my skin
  25. Game changer

    Chloe

    I'm obsessed with this cleanser! I went through a period of experiencing continuous multiple breakouts at once and it was getting my confidence down. I decided to try this cleanser and it has really helped my skin calm down. I love the ingredients and the cleanser makes my skin feel really nice and clean instead of making it feel tight like other cleansers. Definitely recommend!
  26. really good cleanser

    Jax

    I have dry congested skin and have loved this cleanser, it doesn’t leave my skin feeling tight and dry, just fresh and clean. Has a nice mild scent also.
  27. Too active for sensitive skin

    Brittany

    I purchased this product as I wanted to try and active cleanser that would clear my pores and small blemishes. However, I have sensitive skin, prone to redness and rosacea and flair ups and this product is just far too active for it - I used it once a day over a period of 5 weeks and it lead to extremely dry red skin patches and increased breakouts to the point my skin became sore and sensitive t...

  28. Gentle on the skin and minimises the look of pores

    Kelsey

    Love love love! I started using this product because I wanted to clear out my pores and reduce the look on them (particularly on my nose). I have normal skin and have been using it for a few weeks now and haven't experience any redness, sensitivity or any break outs when switching to this cleanser. You only need a tiny bit so it will last forever. Once it runs out I'll definitely be re-purchasing!...

  29. Good cleanser

    Amanda

    I've been using this for about 4 weeks and so far am happy with the results. I think it helped clear up some congestion I had around my chin and I seem to have slightly less blackheads on my nose. I use lots of active ingredients so had no issues incorporating this into my routine. I'll definitely keep using this
  30. Love this

    Matilda

    Really love this product, my skin feels so soft and really makes a difference and clears up my skin
  31. would recommend

    Sarah

    I highly recommend this product. Really improved the surface of my skin and pores. However I would recommend gradually using it as I have quite sensitive skin, but by then end I was using night and day with no issues.
  32. Just started my 2nd bottle

    JP

    Will buy this stuff forever. Hands down best cleanser i have used! Has made a major difference to my pores and is worth every cent.
  33. Really nice product

    sarah

    I purchased this to help with congestion and so far so good. It has made a huge difference already.
  34. Will never look back

    Lani

    I try so many other cleanser for my oily and acne problem skin, this is my best best friend, it my second bottle.
  35. Amazing

    Sky

    I just purchased this after upgrading form the surface radiance cleanser and it is amazing. It really cleans deep into your pores, i have had less blackheads since using/swapping to this cleanser. it also smells so nice :) i would definitely recommend it to anyone who suffers from blackheads
  36. Gel cleanser that doesn't strip your skin!

    Ivana

    Love this little cleanser both as a first or second cleanse. It has mandelic acid in it to help control build up in pores (don't expect your pores to disappear - that's impossible - embrace them honey!) and it does a good job at it. Doesn't leave my skin dry at all, however i do tend to have oily skin so can't speak for others.
  37. Brilliant!!!!!

    Ames

    Since I was told to use medik8 from one of the salons I work at my skin has got so much better. I suffered badly with breakouts, rosacea and wanted to have something to reduce them all. I find medik8 is a soothing cleanser, and doesn’t make my skin feel dry unlike what most other cleansers used to do. Highly recommended
  38. Husband loves this

    TJ

    I purchased this cleanser as I was looking for an exfoliating cleanser that's gentle enough for everyday use. I love the gel texture and mild scent. My husband has oily acne prone skin but doesn't have the patience to look after his skin... Somehow he got his hands on my cleanser and loves it! His skin really improved with everyday use. I took it back for a week and his skin sadly broke out again....

  39. Clears up acne that other products couldn't

    Rebeka

    I've been using this product for two months now, at the start my skin did purge slightly but now a lot of my acne spots have started to reduce in size and disappear completely. I use this product morning and night and love that it doesnt dry my skin compared to other exfoliating cleansers
  40. Excellent for a gentle exfoliation

    Kim

    Wonderful cleanser for a gentle exfoliation if you are experiencing clogged pores or pimples. I find it non drying and highly effective. Excellent cleanser!
  41. Fantastic deep cleanse

    KelliM

    I have used Rationale Procermide cleanser for years however have noticed it wasn't cleaning deeply enough and I was ending up congested in certain areas. Purchased this on a whim and use it only congested areas daily post procermide. Made a massive difference. Will repurchase
  42. Acne be gone

    Adorelover

    After suffering with hormonal acne for what feels like forever and churning through product after product, I have found the holy grail cleanser - I alternate this with the micellar and the micro cleanser. I use it in conjunction with the rest of the Medik8 range has really improved my skin.
  43. Deep yet gentle cleanse

    Ella

    I bought this product after watching a skincare routine video and absolutely fell in love! I have never used a gel cleanser before and was so surprised with how clean and fresh my skin was left feeling. It has helped clear congestion on my chin and left my skin feeling so smooth! Highly recommend using every few days when you are in need of a deep cleanse!
  44. Love!

    Elizabeth

    My oily skin loves this cleanser. I use it twice a day and have noticed that my breakouts have a shorter healing time and spots are coming back smaller in size. I use this cleanser with a sonic brush and my skin feels so clean afterwards. Will definitely be purchasing again.

    Also it smells like musk stick lollies which I love!
  45. So far so good!

    Sammie

    Been using this for about a week now and absolutely loving it, has really given my skin a good cleanse and I feel as if it's helping reduce the size of the blackheads on my nose.. can't wait to see the results in another few weeks.
  46. Another great purchase from the podcast

    Ruby

    I have oily skin and I really love this cleanser. It does not strip the skin nor leave it tight or dry. Gives a deep cleanse. A great recommendation
  47. My go-to

    Nic

    I was recommended this cleanser by a dermal clinician and have been using it for a number of years now. I cannot live without it and have found that I get some congestion on my skin after a few days if I stop using it.
  48. It actually works!!!

    El

    Yes the product delivered as always, I’ve been using this product for over 3 years now. Love love love! It keeps my skin from clogging up, - having oily skin and living in a tropical climate it makes such a huge difference!
  49. Love

    Loz

    I love absolutely everything Medik8 does and this cleanser is so light and gentle, however it gets everything off in one wash. I have repurchased this several times.
  50. Best active cleanser

    Natasha

    Really does what it says- since using this my pores are more refined and my skin is so soft. Doesn't sensitise or strip the skin or cause tightness but gives it a great deep clean. I use this nightly as my second cleanse. I forgot to take it with me for a week holiday and i really missed it!
  51. Deep clean

    Morgan

    I love this product, it really gives my skin a deep clean however doesn't leave my skin feeling tight or dry afterwards.
  52. My new favourite

    Lauren

    I am a big big fan of Medik8. I switched to this cleanser for my PM routine, as an alternative to the Medik8 Calmwise soothing cleanser (which I also love), for a bit of extra oomph to remove residual makeup and dirt inside the pore. It is honestly so lovely! You only need a really tiny bit to create a nice lather and gentle clean. It is definitely not drying like some other gel cleansers and leav...

  54. Totally worth it

    Caitlin

    My favourite cleanser! I get hormonal acne and a bit of congestion, particularly around my chin area, and have found this cleanser has really helped clear that all up. Takes make up off so easily too.
  55. great

    ej

    helps my skin when struggling with pimples
  56. Best cleanser I have used in a long time!

    Carly

    I was hesitant to try this as I had previously tried a Medik8 cleanser and didn't like it. Gave this one a shot based on reviews and the skin concerns it targets. I really like it. It is gentle but effective and you really only need a tiny bit! It creates a really good lather which I look for in a cleanser. Makes your face feel clean and fresh but not tight or irritated. Holy grail for sure.
  57. Great!

    Diego

    Definitely one of the best cleansers I have used. Just the right balance of deep cleansing but not drying. Will buy again.
  58. Deep Clean

    Mikaelaa

    This cleanser gives a really nice feel to the skin and it removes all make up and dirt after one wash. I have seen a dramatic difference in my skin just after one week of using it. I use it both morning and night!
    I think this would suit most people skin.
  59. Deep clean and soft skin

    Laura O

    I have oily / combination skin and this product does wonders for me. My sister gave me a 50ml sample size and I've been using it every morning (followed my serum and moisturiser). It provides a deep clean without drying my skin out. Will continue to use.
  60. The best

    Leen

    this cleanser claims to help tighten pores! i have been using this for quite a few months now, although i haven't seen a huge difference in reducing pore size its been a pretty good cleanser otherwise! removes all dirt! foams right up!
  61. Takes Makeup Off With Ease.

    Melissa

    I have been using the Medik 8 Pore Cleanse Gel Intense for a few months and it is fantastic at taking my makeup off. You don't need to use very much due to the fact that it works so efficiently. Gel texture, which I like, with very little fragrance. I have normal skin, but is a little dehydrated.
  62. Very effective

    Ka

    I've tried similar "pore refining" products that claim to help acne, but they often leave my face feeling quite tight. I love this one from Medik8 because it feels gentle and doesn't irritate my skin with overly harsh ingredients. Effective at flattening out acne raised scars
  63. Even good for dry skin!

    Shannylouisa

    This product is recommended for oily skin, mine is dry/dehydrated and it is fantastic. Doesn’t leave me with that tight feeling and took my makeup off. Medik8 is fastly becoming a favourite of mine.
  64. Great love it

    ii

    I used the surface radiance for the longest time i which it up and used the port cleaning and it cleared all my blackheads and helped my with acne prone skin. Even cleared up my partner skin emencly.

    7287

    After suffering with hormonal acne for almost 2 years and spending thousands of dollars on different products that didn't work I came across this after seeing a celeb recommend it. it is the only product I have found that works for me, I love the asap b serum after cleansing.

    ps my skin went crazy at first but after a week it was amazing!
  66. Removes makeup with ease.

    Melissa

    The Medik8 Pore Cleanse Gel Intense is one of my most loved cleansers. I use this product first thing in the morning to make sure my skin is clean and fresh prior to using my serum and moisturiser . It is great to remove makeup to! Good list of ingredients. Highly recommend.
  67. My new favorite cleanser!!

    Jenna

    I originally purchased the Medik8 Balance Moisturiser 50ml with Glycolic Acid Activator and was super happy with it, so decided to change to more of the Medik8 range.
    I'm very happy with this cleanser, only a small amount is required. I feel like it really helps minimize the oiliness of my T-zone and does not irritate my existing congestion and redness.

  75. Best cleanser I have tried so far

    AC

    I have just recently started using this cleanser and have noticed that so far it is the best I have used. I have struggled with wanting to minimise the size of my pores and never really found cleansers that cleaned my face properly but this product is amazing, and you only need a small amount to throughly clean your face.
  76. excellent

    Laura

    This is such a good face wash!!! it makes my skin feel so clean and soft, it definitely gets all the dirt out and even helps clear my acne I love this so much
  77. Good cleanser for combination/oily congested skin

    Maria

    This is a gently foaming cleanser with some exfoliating acids that has been good for my combination/oily congested skin. I use it on days when I want a deeper clean and gentle exfoliation. It has a nice fragrance that isn't overpowering and smells natural. I won't be repurchasing yet as I believe there are cleansers out there that will work better for me.
  78. best cleanser I’ve ever used

    dustyloves

    This cleanser has been a staple in my routine for years and I absolutely love it. The fresh, smooth gel delivers a satisfying deep clean and keeps my skin toned and blemish free. I certainly notice a lot more breakouts when I don’t use this wonder product. And it’s so cheap, I can’t believe the price after using many more expensive products that don’t deliver the same result. The best!!
  79. THE OG of medik8

    mylinh

    I've used this since the brand still had green packaging and this product never fails. Good for those who need a deep cleanser to help rid of free radicals.
  80. Good cleanser

    Rosie

    I’ve struggled with hormonal breakouts and acne, and love the effectiveness of the Medik8 range. I prefer the Medik8 Clarifying foam cleanser for daily use, but use this pore cleanser at least once a week with my Clarisonic face brush as a gentle exfoliant. The gel texture lathers well combined with the Clarisonic. I personally find it a little thick to use by itself daily. Very effective at clear...

    Olivia

    Acne prone skin this cleanser has completely transformed my skin. Reduces pores and doubles as a scrub/exfoliator. Cleans skin properly and works under the skin. The product does more than what it says it will do. Life changing for me i will never use another cleanser. I would recommend it to others.

    I couldn't believe it when I first started using this cleanser as it takes my makeup off with absolute ease. It is like magic and I just put a little on and then rinse it off and there is no makeup residue. I also use this product when taking my makeup off in the shower. Probably the best cleanser I have used. I am 50 years old, normal to dehydrated skin. I would highly, highly recommend the ...
