I went off my birth control a year ago, and my skin has been unforgiving. It’s been a domino effect of problems, starting with clogged pores that lead to acne and then hyperpigmentation. I've been using everything from salicylic acid to lactic acid to eliminate new bumps and lighten my discoloration, but as with anything, it takes time to see results. 

In an effort to speed things up, I started looking into devices that can stop dirt and oil build-up in their tracks in hopes of minimizing my breakouts — that's when I came across Dermaflash’s OG Dermapore Pore Extractor and Skincare Infuser. After a year of daily use, I've noticed that my skin feels cleaner and noticeably smoother. Now, I’m telling everyone I know to pick up the pore extractor while it's on rare sale for 60 percent off using the code STEAL60 while supplies last .

Dermapore Pore Extractor and Serum Infuser

The Dermapore is available in four shades: pink, white, green, and gray. The device has two modes, extract and infuse, that use vibrations to painlessly draw out dirt and loosen clogged pores with minimal pressure and zero irritation. The two-in-one tool also reduces the appearance of pores, and its second infuse mode improves the absorption of serums and moisturizers in your routine. Along with the device, you also receive a charging port and a protective cap.

What I love about the extracting and infusing device is its simplicity and ease of use. To use, start with freshly cleansed skin, then re-mist with the prep spray — it’s a big no-no to use the device on dry skin (you can reapply as needed). For extraction mode, you’ll need to position the spatula tip at a 45-degree angle while holding the silver strip on the back side of the device. You’ll know it's working when the white light at the bottom turns on. Hold the skin taught as you glide the device over blackheads and clogged pores on your forehead, nose, chin, and cheeks — I even go down to my chest as needed.

Once finished, you’ll want to clean off the device and apply the rest of your remaining skincare routine. That’s where the device’s infusion mode comes in: Double-click the power button to set it to infuse mode and run the flat end of the spatula labeled “infuse” over the skin to boost the penetration of your skincare ingredients. The device is safe to use every day; I use the infusion mode daily, but only do extractions twice a week to limit irritation. 

While I could spend hundreds of dollars on professional facials to get quicker results, the Dermapore Pore Extractor and Skincare Infuser has minimized the texture all over my face, oiliness leading to my breakouts, and provided a deeper clean. Needless to say, the device has earned a permanent spot in my daily skincare routine.
