Rare Earth Deep Pore Daily Exfoliating Face Cleanser

Kiehl's Rare Earth Deep Pore Daily Exfoliating Face Cleanser is a scrub-textured wash built for skin that gets shiny and looks congested by midday. It lifts away surface grime while buffing off dead cells, so pores read smaller and the skin left behind feels fresh rather than squeaky.

What it actually does

• Buffs and washes in a single pass. Kiehl's positions it as a cleanser that exfoliates while it cleans, with the goal of making pores look less obvious.
• Mops up surface oil. Oat kernel meal works as the physical exfoliant here and also soaks up oil sitting on the skin; the brand notes it for anti-irritant and anti-redness properties.
• Draws out what clogs. Amazonian white clay is the purifying element — Kiehl's credits it with pulling away bacteria, toxins, surplus oil and dead cells that block pores.
• Keeps the scrub from feeling harsh. Aloe barbadensis is included for its soothing reputation, which is why the finish is described as fresh and soft rather than stripped.
• Clean formulation. Built without sulfates, parabens, phthalates and a long list of other flagged ingredients, and the product is cruelty-free.

How to use

1. Wet your face first. Squeeze out a generous amount and apply it to skin that is already damp.
2. Massage with clean fingertips. Work over the face and neck using small circles that move upward and outward.
3. Rinse fully. Lukewarm water, until no grit remains.
4. Twice daily. Morning and evening. Keep it away from the skin directly around the eyes.

Questions

Can I really use a scrub twice a day?

Kiehl's suggested usage is morning and night. If your skin starts feeling tight or looking irritated, scale back to once daily and let it settle — the directions are a guide, not an obligation.

Will it shrink my pores permanently?

No cleanser changes pore size. What this one is designed to do is minimise how visible they look by clearing out the oil and dead cells that make them appear wider.

Is it safe around the eyes?

Kiehl's advises avoiding the immediate eye area. Use a separate eye makeup remover for that zone.
