Men's Biore The Face Pore Clear Face Wash

Men's Biore The Face Pore Clear is the targeted pore-cleansing variant in KAO's men's facial wash range, formulated for skin where sebum accumulation in pores is the primary concern — manifesting as blackheads, visible pores, and a generally congested complexion. Male skin produces up to twice as much sebum as female skin on average, making pore congestion a near-universal male skincare complaint, particularly in the nose, chin, and forehead zones. The Pore Clear formula uses a combination of deep-penetrating foam technology and pore-dissolving actives to address this at the root: cleaning inside the pore rather than just the skin surface. The 200ml full pump bottle is the standard go-to purchase for first-time users or as a primary bathroom fixture.

1. Wet face with lukewarm water — warm water helps pores expand for deeper cleansing
2. Pump 2–3 presses and work into foam on wet palms
3. Apply to face and massage with fingertips in circular motions, focusing on the T-zone for 30–60 seconds
4. Rinse thoroughly with cool water to encourage pores to close after cleansing
5. Follow with an oil-control toner or pore-minimising serum for best results

• Sodium Laureth Sulfate — primary surfactant building the abundant foam that penetrates into pore openings
• BHA (Salicylic Acid, cosmetic level) — lipid-soluble keratolytic that penetrates the pore lining to dissolve the sebum-protein plugs responsible for blackheads
• Glycerin — humectant preventing the over-drying that can cause rebound sebum overproduction
• Witch Hazel Extract — astringent botanical that temporarily tightens pore openings after cleansing
• Zinc Compound — sebum-regulating mineral supporting post-wash oil control
• Citric Acid — pH adjuster maintaining the formula within the skin-safe range
