Review:
Medicated Pore Cleaning System is further proof that the dermatologists behind this line are frustratingly endorsing both helpful and harmful products for those with acne. This two-step system includes Pore Strips and a Pore Cleansing Solution. The Pore Strips are like Scotch tape for skin, and include alcohol, peppermint oil, and menthol to further irritate and inflame skin. The Pore Cleansing Solution doesn’t fare much better because it contains a lot of alcohol and irritating arnica extract. This is a mistake from any angle. There is nothing medicated about alcohol, menthol, or peppermint.
 
Ingredients:
Pore Strips (10 strips) Polyacrylic Acid, Silica, Titanium Oxide, Ethanol, Polyethylene Glycol, Monolaurate, L-Menthol, Peppermint Oil, Propylparaben, Methylparaben, Water Pore Cleansing Solution (0.5 ounce) Active: Salicylic Acid, Other: Ethoxydiglycol. Sd Alcohol 40, Arnica Montana Extract, Camellia Oleifera Seed Extract, Licorice (Glycyrrhiza Glabra) Extract, Propylene Glycol, Diazolidinyl Urea, Methylparaben, Propylparaben
