Goodbye blackheads: this anti-blackhead treatment duo deeply unclogs pores without damaging the skin (rated 4.6/5)

Did you think you were done with blackheads? Sometimes it only takes a few days to see them reappear on the nose, chin or forehead. And when pores seem congested, daily cleansing isn’t always enough to achieve the desired effect.

Two products, two gestures and the same target: those pores that catch your eye as soon as you get a little too close to the mirror.

The POREfessional Benefit duo combines two treatments at 39.90 euros

The kit first contains The POREfessional Degunker, a 22 ml anti-blackhead and pore cleansing treatment sold for 39.90 euros. Its creamy alkaline pH formula is combined with a built-in extraction tool to help remove impurities.

It includes kaolin clay to purify and unclog pores, plum seed oil, beta-glucan extracted from oats and bisabolol. According to a self-assessment carried out with 115 participants after one use, 91% saw a reduction in blackheads, 97% saw visibly cleaned pores and 96% saw smoother skin.

Its use requires a little patience. On clean, damp skin, apply the formula to the targeted areas before waiting 15 to 30 minutes then rinsing. The tool is then used on wet skin with light pressure.

Degunker tackles blackheads and clogged pores

This operation distinguishes Degunker from a classic cleaner. The treatment targets visible blackheads, clogged pores and skin prone to blemishes. To limit friction when using the tool, Benefit recommends re-moistening the skin if necessary.

The product therefore relies on two successive actions: the formula acts on the targeted areas, then the tool allows you to work on the impurities. Once the procedure is finished, you must rinse the skin as well as the tip.

Deep Retreat completes the routine with its clay mask

The duo’s second product, The POREfessional Deep Retreat is a 75 ml clay scrubbing mask, also sold for 39.90 euros. It is intended to absorb excess sebum and eliminate impurities in order to clean pores, while leaving skin smoother and mattified.

Its formula also contains kaolin clay, accompanied by fennel extract, bisabolol and sphingolipids. Ingredients from jojoba, grape seeds, avocado and plum pit complete the composition. The mask is advertised as non-comedogenic, dermatologically tested and suitable for all skin types.

At 79.80 euros, the duo therefore brings together the two products at their combined individual price: 39.90 euros each. Its interest lies above all in their complementarity, with Degunker to target blackheads and Deep Retreat to integrate clay and the action on excess sebum into the routine.
