Clear keratin plugs with Powder Wash +, $25 for 50g
Blackheads happen when oil and dead skin, which is mostly made of a protein called keratin, clump together inside the pores. According to the brand, most regular cleansers can’t break down keratin, but ORBIS’ Powder Wash + uses enzymes to do just that.
The two enzymes, protease and lipase, break down protein and oil respectively, so clogs are dissolved. The lightweight powder lathers to a rich foam that’s fun and easy to use.
If you’ve read enough women’s magazines, you’re probably well aware of the need for twice-daily cleansing.
According to ORBIS, however, regular daily cleansing isn’t enough to zap zits, reduce dullness, and ensure that your skincar e products are working optimally.
The Japanese brand, which is known for its oil-free products, says that standard cleansers are necessary for daily maintenance, but you’ll need dedicated pore care products for issues such as blackheads, whiteheads, deep-down grime, and build-up of dead skin.
Its Special Care range is specifically designed to solve pore problems gently, without harming skin. Even so, there’s no need to use these all on the same day.
