I have always had small black poors on my face. I've used alot of cleansers and scubbed till my face was red. Still, I would have areas with little black spots. This cleanser works so well, I don't even need a wash cloth. My fingers are all I use, and no more black pores. It is amazing. It will dry your face, because it cleans so well. Just put on a good lotion after. I have never used anything before that cleans this well. I will continue to buy this product. I love it.
