Pore'-fector Gadget Kit


Pore'-fector Gadget Kit

What it is:An innovative complexion-improving set featuring a high-tech, dual-action skincare tool powered by sonic vibrations, and advanced pore-clearing formulas.What it is formulated to do:Let go of the lancet and forget about using your fingers; this ensemble is the next-best thing to an at-home esthetician. The 'pore'-fector gadget is a safe and sanitary new 'wave' in complexion clearing that performs two essential functions: it power-washes pores for a deeper clean, and massages treatments (such as serums and moisturizers) onto skin more effectively than if applied by hand.Often, impurities get trapped on the skin and result in plugged pores. Like a bionic spa facialist, this tool generates sonic vibrations, which work with Bliss Daily Detoxifying Facial Toner to create micro-jets (fine, steady streams of moisture) that extract impurities and deeply clean clogged skin. The sonic waves help to loosen up debris, creating a cleaner, smoother, more receptive surface, setting the stage for revitalizing antioxidants, hydrators, and the rest of your skincare regime to work effectively.This set contains:- 'Pore'-fector Gadget Tool- Recharge Base Unit- Power Adapter- 6.7 oz Daily Detoxifying Facial Toner- 2 x Samples of Steep Clean 15-Minute Facial MaskWhat else you need to know: Sonic waves are vibrational sound waves with super-high frequencies that can help to improve skin's appearance. Think of it as a tool to eliminate the bad stuff and maximize the good stuff! It has been tested, approved, and used by licensed bliss spa facialists. To top it off, it is cordless and rechargeable, so you can keep your complexion in peak condition, at home or on the go.Research Results:In an independent clinical study, after a single use:- 100 of testers felt the tool cleansed their pores.- 88 of testers felt the tool left skin deeply cleansed and refreshed.- 82 of testers felt that their pores appeared less prominent.- Testers displayed a 12 increase in depth of pores, indicating significantly clearer pores.- Testers displayed a 4 increase in diameter of pores, indicating significantly clearer pores.*Individual results may vary.

This gadget is very easy to use...however, you do have to be careful! Simply cleanse your face as you normally would, then apply the toner so that the face is slightly damp(you may need to redampen as you go along if the skin dries). Then push the button and gently "scrape" the sking very slowly. Obviously dont apply a lot of pressure as it can scrape your skin. Its good if you only go over an area once, maybe twice in bad parts...over doing it could lead to irritation. the side that says bliss is the side you wanna keep facing you as you do this. NOW...if you wanna penetrate product into the skin..lets say crows feet, the "11" and frown lines...simply press the other button and flip the gadget the other way! This product is amazing! If its just not working foy you visit your local Sephora or watch a video online to make sure you are doing it correctly. Remember...the skin must bbe damp and the Bliss toner is amazing!

The instructions that the product comes with aren't very helpful at all. Which is really a shame b/c once you get the hang of it its a pretty cool gadget. For starters you have to let it charge for like 4 hours or something for the 1st time. Then when you turn it on you have to hold the power button down for like 5 sec. I thought mine was broken b/c I pressed the power button too quickly. It works for me if with one hand I hold & stretch the part I'm going over to get the gunk out. I hope I explained it well enough, its easier to show than write down for me.

basically just put the blue liquid on a cotton pad, wet your face with it, then turn on the gadget, press the power button on the gadget (press a lil bit longer, it takes me several time when I try to turn it on then just put the metal point on your face facing upwards put some pressure and going upward

You will see it if you are using it correctly. You have to go really slowly and press it against your skin as if it were pressing flat across, not down or into your skin.

Clogged pores
Does this extract clogged pores. I was told from the dermatologist that because my skin is oily I developed "white heads" but it is not extractable it was recommended I do chemical peels, because these are enclosed white heads.

Peels or something like that would be best. Instead of working (and scraping) the surface of your skin, an acidic or enzymatic treatment works in the deeper layers, healing as it purges. Sephora's got some great options:

Actually it exfoliates the top layer of your skin. The sonic waves and moisture gently plane it off. It will help jiggle out some softened comedones that are not too deep in the skin, and bring deeper ones closer to the surface. It takes consistent use to truly see results.

Were you told you have milia? This unclogs pores, you must use the toner they provide however and be patient; especially if you have a lot of unclogging to do.
I would suggest the dermabrasion or peels for tough pores. And don't pick, or pierce them whatever you do. This helps though with black heads and large pore mainly.

answer 2
It will gradually wiggle out the comedones - which lead to blackheads. Don't expect to see them all jumping out at once though. Your skin has to be thoroughly moistened, preferably after a shower when your pores will be most relaxed. Consistent use will help prevent anything settling in your pores for long enough to develop a blackhead.

Both tools use sonic technology. The difference is (1) Pore-fector Gadget uses sonic vibrations, microjet technology and a power wash action to exfoliate skin surface, deep clean and lift accumulated oils, dirt and impurities from the pores with a metal tip gliding over the skin. Clarisonic uses a fast rotating brush and sonic vibrations to thoroughly cleanse and exfoliate skin. And (2) the Clarisonic creates a fresh palette for applying skin care products due to the exfoliation, while Porefector Gadget actually massages on treatments and moisturizers with the metal tip and sonic vibrations which provide optimal application and benefits of skin care products. The two tools work great together! Clarisonic can be used prior to use of Pore-fector Gadget which needs to be used on clean skin.

My esthetician uses a device that looks just like this on my face, I think its called a dermasound. It uses ultrasonic waves and exfoliates and removes build up in my pores without irritating my sensitive skin--even when used with just deionized water. She also turns it over and uses the broad flat side to help push moisturizing and toning products into my skin, making the products more effective. You can actually see the dirt and oil that it removes from your skin right there on the blade of the device. I can't wait to get one of these!

I called my local store & the skincare professional said this is something to use WITH the Clarisonic. Apparently, this, in effect, is a pore vacuum. I assume in time, however, it would become obsolete because the Clarisonic's job is to keep unclogged pores unclogged... The skincare expert said this is something you can use a few times a month as the Clarisonic is still to be used as you normally do. Apparently, the two used together will really clean up your skin...
I plan on saving and buying one ASAP. Will post rate/post when I do.

Well, while I love my clarisonic for overall facial cleaning and deep cleaning, this is somewhat different. I would use the clarisonic to clean and wash my face and then after washing, I would use the toner, and then use this gadget on my nose and high pore areas. The sebum eases out, and pores are less noticeable and your face feels clean. So, if you have a clarisonic and you're happy with it, stay with that, this is just like more icing on an already great cake.

This item is similar in its concept and benefits to the Clarisonic, however the suggested usage is different.

Here are the instructions from our site:

-Apply Daily Detoxifying Facial Toner (or the water-based toner of your choice) onto clean skin with a cotton pad.
-Press the red ON button; a red light will appear signifying high vibrations (this setting is ideal for cleansing).
-Note: If your skin is sensitive, press the intermittent button on the right; this adds a pulsating vibration, which lessens the intensity of the wave.
-Flip the head of the tool up so that you can use it in a scooping motion; begin gently applying pressure to help cleanse and exfoliate the skin.
-Use an alcohol or sanitizer-saturated cotton pad to wipe the tool clean.
-DO NOT RINSE UNDER WATER; THIS WILL DAMAGE THE TOOL.
-Apply your moisturizer or serum.
-Flip the head of the tool over so it lays flush against your skin.
-Press the ON button again and a green light will appear indicating slower vibration.
-Instead of massaging your moisturizer or serum onto your skin with your fingers, gently apply the head of the tool onto the surface of the skin and glide it along the skin's surface in a downward motion.
Recommended use:
-Oily skin: use for 3-5 minutes, 1-2 times daily.
-Dry/sensitive skin: use for 2-3 minutes, once daily.
-Combination skin: use 1-2 minutes, once every other day.

I have milia, and I've been trying to use it for it, but I'm not having much luck. I'm nervous about it because I don't want to pierce or poke at anything that a dermatologist should be working on. I've noticed a decrease in size of my milia, however, so that might be helpful to you? I hope that helps!

Eliminating milia requires special attention by a licensed skincare professional or dermatologist. This tool does not have a claim for milia removal.
