Abrasive cleansers/pads

Cleansers, soaps and lotions
Proven as effectively as the abrasives cleaners /pads but they are less harsh. All of them will induce mild exfoliation by assisting to remove superficial / dead skin cells, but they are unabled to remove the oil in follicles. Beware that, for the wrong type of soaps can lead to over extreme drying and irritation on face.

Emollients or soap-free cleansers
If you have sensitive skin, you can use them.

Toners, astringents, fresheners or refining lotions
Normally composed of water soluble alcohol and used by those with oily skin to get rid of SEBUM or facial makeup. However, here are some facts about sebum. Sebum is actually our own skin’s self-made moisturizer. It protects against bacteria, viruses and fungi. Removing too much of the sebum will clog / shrink pores but on the other hand, if the skin is not properly cleansed, dirt & bacteria will attach to sebum causing formation of pimples on face. While majority of these items are believe to shrink pores, in fact it is unlikely for these products to cause permanent shrinking.
