For me, I\u2019ve almost always felt like my pores look magnified\u2014large, noticeable, gaping even.

In the past year, however, I\u2019ve noticed that the pores in the creases of my nose occasionally get clogged, making them look more pronounced, as well. We\u2019re not talking ultra-dark blackheads, but if I look closely enough, I can definitely see some graying build-up. Because of this, I set out to find a solution.

Where the majority of the spatula is flat, the tip is tilted to boost the extraction and infusion process. Due to its shaping, though, it\u2019s not the most obvious to use if you don\u2019t read the instructions first. (I say this because I definitely used it incorrectly based on how I processed the images on the spatula.)<\/p>\n<div class=\"related-content \" style=\"\" data-module-init=\"related-content\" data-module-immediate=\"\" v-cloak=\"\">\n<div class=\"related-content__wrapper \" v-cloak=\"\" :class=\"{'is-loaded':isLoaded}\">\n<p> <span class=\"inline pr-6 text-seafoam-dark\">Related Stories<\/span> <\/p>\n<p> <related-content class=\"related-content__links\" parent-article-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/dermapore-plus-review\/\" current-title=\"The Famous Pore De-Gunking Skin Spatula Released an Even More Powerful Version\u2014Here\u2019s What Happened When I Tried It\" current-image=\"dermapore-425x285.png\" v-on:parsely-posts-loaded=\"onPostsLoaded\" start-date=\"2023-02-16\" tag=\"div\" inline-template=\"\" url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/dermapore-plus-review\/\" secret=\"w5ztterVB03LGZJLfXS0hf3EvQBuFFIWew9hmVQxthU\" apikey=\"wellandgood.com\" limit=\"3\"> <\/p>\n<div>\n<div class=\"related-content__card mb-[10px] sm:mb-[20px]\" :class=\"{'related-content__card--full':posts.length === 1}\" v-for=\"(post, key) in posts\"> <a v-on:click.prevent=\"trackLinkGA($event, key)\" :href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/dermapore-plus-review\/post.url\" data-url-source=\"related-content\" class=\"related-content__link\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"\"> <\/p>\n<div class=\"related-content__card--image bg-tan\" :style=\"{ backgroundImage: 'url(' + post.image_url + ')' }\"> <img decoding=\"async\" :src=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/dermapore-plus-review\/post.image_url\" :alt=\"post.title\" class=\" js-inline-lazy-load\" src=\"\"\/> <\/div>\n<p> <\/a>  <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> <\/related-content> <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>When looking at the stainless spatula with the tip pointing up, you\u2019ll see three squiggly lines that say infuse on the flat surface and two arrows pointing to the tip on the tilted portion, with the word \u201cExtract.\u201d Because of this, I initially thought that the device was meant to be used with the illustration side down at all times, using the tip for extraction and the flat section for infusion. This felt awkward, so I dug around for the included instruction pamphlet to read up on the device. Turns out, you\u2019re supposed to angle the tilted tip down during extraction (with the non-illustrated side of the spatula facing your skin), and lay the tip flat against your skin during infusion (with the illustrated side of the spatula facing your skin).<\/p>\n<p>Beyond positioning the tip of the Dermapore+ correctly, you have to be mindful of when you use the device and how you hold it. Based on the instructions, you should only use it after adequately spritzing your skin with the Prep Mist (or splashing it with water if you don\u2019t have the mist), while skin is wet. Additionally, you have to keep your fingers (or at least a finger) on the silver strip of the front of the device (it says \u201cHold Here\u201d to make it obvious). Both the Prep Mist and Hold Here strip enable the next-gen ionic technology to work. If skin isn\u2019t wet or the strip isn\u2019t touched, the white light on the bottom of the device won\u2019t illuminate\u2014this means the device isn\u2019t working as intended.<\/p>\n<p>Now that you\u2019re brushed up on the logistics of how to hold it and use it, it\u2019s time to learn how to actually work the device across your complexion. If you want to extract, press the power button once; if you want to infuse, press it twice. When extracting, glide the tip upwards on your chin, in toward your nose across your cheeks, up your nose, and out from the center of your foreheads. When infusing, always work in upward, outward strokes. Once you finish working the device across your skin, turn it off, marvel over the gunk it removed, and wipe off the spatula with an alcohol wipe. This will prevent the unintentional transfer of bacteria.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Do skin experts like it?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Many dermatologists don\u2019t recommend using skin spatulas at home. That\u2019s why you\u2019ll notice that the Dermaflash site says that estheticians recommend it, not derms. Still, according to nurse practitioner\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/maegangrifffin\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener sponsored\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/maegangrifffin\/?hl=en\">Maegan Griffin<\/a>, who is the CEO and founder of Skin Pharm, a clinical aesthetics practice, skin spatulas like the Dermapore+ are generally safe.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs long as you follow instructions carefully,\u201d she explains. \u201cUsing a device like this safely requires just the right amount of pressure, so only apply gentle pressure. Be sure to clean it properly and regularly, too, and avoid overuse. It\u2019s tempting to want a quick fix for clogged pores, but these devices should only be used a few times per week, depending on your skin type.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That said, even if you use your skin spatula regularly, Griffin says that it\u2019s only a temporary fix. \u201cThey don\u2019t address why pores are clogged in the first place,\u201d she explains. \u201cThe best way to identify the root cause is to work with your skin-care provider. They\u2019ll guide you toward the most effective skin-care ingredients for you, and you can build a sustainable routine to address your unique skin\u2019s needs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Generally, Griffin says that perpetually clogged pores are the result of excess oil and buildup, which she says can be addressed with salicylic acid and retinol. \u201c[These ingredients] help cleanse, regulate oil production, and decrease the appearance of pores. \u201cPore extractors can be part of your routine, but they should only supplement effective, consistent skin-care,\u201d she adds.<\/p>\n<p>If you do choose to incorporate the Dermapore+ into your routine, Griffin says to be mindful of your skin type. \u201cThose with dry or sensitive skin can use it one to two times per week, as overuse may further irritate your skin,\u201d she says. \u201cBut everyone\u2019s skin is different, so start slow and pay attention to how your skin reacts.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How it works\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The Dermapore+ is powered by ultrasonic vibrations to gently dislodge dirt, oil, and debris from pores.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe pore extraction spatula uses ultrasonic vibrations to loosen sebum in the pores, making it easier to remove as the spatula glides across your skin,\u201d Griffin explains.<\/p>\n<p>The Dermapore+ is unique from any old pore extraction spatula on the market, though. For starters, it features 35Hz ultrasonic vibrations, which the brand claims to be the highest speed on the market. Thanks to the high speed, the Dermapore+ is said to require less pressure than your traditional spatula to work effectively. Additionally, it\u2019s ionically charged, so when used in unison with the Dermapore+ Prep Mist (which is infused with negatively charged ions), it has a magnetic effect to really clear out pores.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>My results\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>As I mentioned, I initially used the device upside down. When I did, I still experienced pore-unclogging results but I had to use substantial pressure, much like when using a classic manual blackhead remover. When I used it properly, however, I hardly had to use any pressure to watch gunk rise out of more clogged pores. Talk about satisfying\u2014especially for someone with sensitive, redness-prone skin! While my skin definitely still looked a bit rosy post-use, I was impressed by how much less congested my nose and cheeks looked and how healthy my complexion looked overall. I\u2019m excited to see how this little device continues to boost my routine.<\/p>\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_1104359\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1104359\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1104359 js-inline-lazy-load\" alt=\"dermapore before after\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/dermapore-before-after_falsexfalse_true_70.webp\"\/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1104359\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Photo: Author<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_1104361\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1104361\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1104361 js-inline-lazy-load\" alt=\"day after dermapore\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/day-after-dermapore_falsexfalse_true_70.webp\"\/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1104361\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Photo: Author<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_1104363\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1104363\" style=\"width: 1500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1104363 js-inline-lazy-load\" alt=\"dermapore extractions\" width=\"1500\" height=\"2000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/dermapore-extractions_falsexfalse_true_70.webp\"\/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1104363\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Photo: Author<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<h2> <\/h2>\n<h2><strong>The value: Is it worth it?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>I think so!
