Panasonic EH2511A Pore Cleanser with Micro-fine Mist

Reviews of Panasonic EH2511A Pore Cleanser with Micro-fine Mist

1.) how to use it
Reviewed by: stature tu

I have an old Panasonic EH2501 that I have used for several years at least once per month. The water mister is useless, I do not need it, no one does. I do not use the big suction cup, only the little concentrated small cup side does the job well for me.

First off, wash your face with a soapy cleanser like a neutrogena bar, this will soften up your skin and the plugs in the pores (cleansing creams or cold creams won't work to get the right softness). You can even steam with a warm wash cloth after the soapy cleanser. Once your face is softened, then you can use this pore cleanser. Don't let you face get dry at any time during the pore cleansing. Keep your face wet with warm water, not merely moist. The wetness on your skin will help you have a good sealed suction cup against your skin. The wetness also keeps those pore plugs water-logged and soft and easy to remove. Move the small side cup over skin, keeping the cup constantly moving.

The first time, you may get what some call the 'scraping off' of surface dead cells (since the surface skin is now wet and soft), but keep at it and re-wet skin with warm water if needed and the next time you move the cup over that spot it will remove the contents of pores, now that the surface dead layers are out of the way.

Do not just use this on dry skin misted over using the mist attachment or you will be disappointed. Don't use the big cup side, and don't forget to keep the suction cup moving unless you want to create the appearance of a hickey.

I would not hesitate to buy this brand and product again (I visited the page tempted to get a newer improved model). I am amazed that there are people that don't use it right and blame the product, but then it is also the manufacturer's fault for adding a useless mist attachment and representing that you can use this starting out with dry skin. If I only used the dry skin and mist approach, I would be angry about the experience too.



2.) THIS PRODUCT WORKS
Reviewed by: NEH Greensboro, NC

This Product Absolutely 100% works. Those who posted poor reviews must have great, tiny pores, or didn't use this product appropriately.

I researched this like crazy and delayed my purchase for two months, based on skepticism. The first night I got this, there was some residue in the tip that looked like sebum from my pores. The next day I used it, (I only use it in the shower, I recommend that HIGHLY) and it removed and UNBELIEVABLE amount of pore clogging sebum.

I'm a dude with huge pores on my nose, cheeks, and forehead, so maybe it works best on people like me. I have been squeezing, and Biore stripping my face on occasion my whole life. NOTHING has ever cleaned out my pores like this product. I have used it almost daily for the last week and a half. I think it takes probably a month or more to get all the stuff out of your pores if they are big and clogged. Your pores adjust to the cleaning and push more sebum to the surface over time. So each day I use it I get more out, and I can tell the difference in quantity of clogged pores on my face. On a daily basis there are fewer "dark" looking pores and some look like empty holes after my shower because this device has absolutely emptied them of sebum.

I also recommend pressing against your face while useing this product. It's too fun to pull your skin up with the suction of it, but I think it functions better with the combination of pressure against your skin, and pore opening moisture from the shower.


3.) It really does work

I used another pore cleanser brand for years until it broke, and I've been using this one for a few weeks now. I've read quite a few reviews and there are always some who insist pore vacuums don't work. If they have one that has enough suction power (like this one) I'm convinced they are not using it properly. First off, this is not for those who only have a couple small blackheads on crevice on their nose. This will not get those out under one try, but I find they eventually become loosened. This is best for those who have a widespread problem across the cheeks, forehead, and chin. Those folks will see improvements much faster.

Extractions are the best, but they cause swelling and irritation if I do them myself and I'm afraid of scarring. Salon visits for extractions would be wonderful, but a visit every 2-3 weeks is also out of the question. Pore strips rip away my skins moisture, cause irritation, and leave a lot of the product behind. That residue only causes more blackheads, leading you to buy more. That cost also adds up.

If you use this right and give it a few weeks you will be a believer:

Make sure you steam up your face really well. Forget the mister feature; it really isn't needed. You do need your face to be wet, but you also need to use it either during the steaming or immediately after. So its best to just use this near the end of a hot shower. You need that steam to get the blackhead junk to slide out.

When you use it on your face you should feel a slight tug. You need that suctioning effect. Slide the machine around the areas you need it with that tugging continuously going. If you lose the suction just hold it to your face until you get it again. I think a lot of people just move it around their face without the actual suctioning effect going and that's just worthless.

It also works must better if you reverse the tip piece. The box comes with the small tip ready for use. Just flip it around...the larger tip is what works, the smaller tip is a waste of time.

I generally see results after the first 2-3 treatments. After long term use (several weeks) I begin to find it difficult to find a blackhead in a close up mirror.


4.) Read the Instructions...

I have been using this product for months now, and it works fabulously. After reading some of the "reviews" I've come to the conclusion that peope are purchasing this product with the expectation that you'll be merrily wooshing away all those nasty plugs in one fell swoop. Read the instructions. This does not replace regular cleansing. It is a supplementary tool to use with your cleansing routine. I use it in the shower, after I've cleansed my face and allowed my pores to open. Once finished, I use the mist function to CLOSE my pores (after all, that's what it's MEANT TO DO).

Taken from the Panasonic FAQs for this product:

6. What does the Mist function do, and how do I use it? (EH2501 only)
The mist cools your skin and closes your pores after you finish treating your skin with the Pore Cleanser.
To use the mist function:
Fill the water tank with water. Turn the suction switch on. Hold the Pore Cleanser about 2 inches away from your face, and press the mist button to spray mist onto your skin. Spray your face with mist for about 10 seconds, and either let dry naturally or gently wipe dry with a soft towel.


In closing, this is a great product, and I highly recommend it to anyone who will actually follow the instructions and use it properly.

As with all purchases, I bought this device expecting it to be about half as good as its manufactorer claimed, and about twice as good as its detractors claimed. I was pleasantly surprised to find that it works very well, indeed, if used according to the clear instructions sent with it. I have seen progressive benefits from its use, done with patience, and am very much taken with it.

The people who have lambasted the machine in reviews here have either gone into it expecting instant gratification, or have not taken time to read and heed the method prescribed. It works over time, as it is advertised to do. Have patience, and you will be as pleased as I've been.

The Panasonic Pore Cleanser works for me where nothing else has. Period.

I bought this in combination with the Steam Facial By Kaz (costs $27.75, see my review). I do suspect the mist feature of this Pore Cleanser is not effective, but using it with the great Steam Facial by Kaz, I have had great results! First I steam with the facial steamer for about 20 minutes, then I use the Pore Cleanser.

The little vacuum does a terrific job sucking icky, waxy junk out of my pores. The evidence of what was removed is there to see after use, when cleaning up the device. I never had any results using Biore strips, nothing came out of my pores with those. I suspect that the key is to open pores and soften things up with the facial steamer. I would not expect as good results using either the Steamer or the Pore Cleaner alone. The Pore Cleaner is water resistant and may be used directly over steam without damage.

In total, I spent about $70. and I am very happy with the results. My skin is clearer, the texture is much softer and finer, blackheads are disappearing, pores are growing smaller, and breakouts are far less.

This product really works! It removes dead skin without abrasion. It is better than using those abrasive sponges or wash cloth. It is pretty powerful. After you run it over your face your skin will feel invigorated. And if you look at the attachment you will see a lot of white debris which are the dead peeling skin cells. Yes, it does look gross but it's actually building up on your face. I highly recommend using this product instead of the harsh abrasive sponges, wash cloth or cleansers with granules. It makes cleansing fun, too!

10.) Follow Directions!

*sigh* After reading all of the other obnoxious reviewers for this product I had to throw in my 2 cents.

First off- if you want this to clear up acne you must first find out what is causing your acne. Not everybody has the same type of acne! For me, I had acne caused by blocked pores and an excess of oil production (sebum). And if you read the name of this product, it is called a "pore cleanser." It cleans out your pores... therefore, if you have bacterial acne or rosacea or some other acne NOT caused by blocked pores then chances are this won't clear up your acne.

Now, my personal experience with this product has been phenomenal. I have suffered with cystic acne for over 10 years and have tried all sorts of OTC cleansers and lotions/creams, etc. Pore-strips, peels, masks, etc. Nothing worked because nothing actually cleaned deep down into my pores (did not try a metal blackhead scraper because I didn't actually have blackheads). I ordered this product on a whim, especially since it's cheaper than one month's worth of cleansers and lotions.

To my shock and surprise, it worked! I've had it for about a year now and have barely had any acne this whole time. The quality and appearance of my skin has dramatically improved, and my old acne scars have actually faded away. My skin is clearer and definitely more toned.

A few tips- read the manual, people! The mister helps the cleanser slide over your face and keep it from drying out during the process. Also, though it says not to in the manual, I use it on my whole face not just my T-zone- because I had clogged pores all over. It takes some getting used to but your skin WILL adapt! The trick is to not give up after the first use!

Also, definitely use it after a shower. I recommend using a scrub in the shower beforehand. You will also need to moisturize afterwards. I also use a toner before applying moisturizer to help make sure my face is cleansed. If you have a good skincare routine, you're probably already doing that.

At first, I used it about 3 times a week, about 20 minutes a treatment. After just a few months, I was down to once a week for about 10 minutes. Fastest, easiest and most effective treatment for my acne that I have ever used. Have recommended to many people.
Lastly, it won't get clogged if you simply follow the manufacturer's cleaning directions. Again, have had mine for a year and still works perfectly!

If you're serious about treating your skin then I have no doubt you will use this product with great results.

I found this product to be quite effective. I have been having chronic problems with my skin since I returned from Iraq. I have tried various cleansers and astringents to try to clear up my breakouts. When I bought this product I had a few pimples and white heads that I made previous attempts at popping but they either scarred my face or did not go away and were painful and swollen the next day. When I used the Panasonic Pore Cleanser I could see it working on the areas. The next day the pain was gone, the pimple was gone, and all that remained was a tiny scab. As for the negative reviews they must have tried to use it with the mist only. Just make sure you wash your face first and then while it's still wet use the pore cleanser and immediately following use an astringent. This product work wonders for me....

First of all, I would like to thank all other reviewers, they helped me to figure out whether to buy this product and what to expect. I am very glad I bought this pore cleanser, it works great! But don't expect immediate results (although you might see the effect right away). I started using it everyday for the first 2 weeks, and it doesn't take much time or energy at all! And my skin became wonderful! It is much cleaner, smoother and the pores look smaller. One thing I have to say though, I only liked the small side of the suction cup, the large one didn't do anything for me. Or may be I just didn't figure out how to use it yet... But I highly recommend this product if you have oily or combination skin that breaks out a lot and large pores.

After reading the other reviews of this product, I ordered it reluctantly, wondering if I had just wasted my money. The first time I used it, I followed instructions from another reviewer-making sure the skin was wet, not using the mister, using the small nose cup, etc. I didn't really feel anything, and got out of the shower thinking that I had indeed wasted my money. I was quite surprised when I looked in the mirror and saw that it had worked! I now use it every other day and definately recommend it.

this thing rocks. read the instructions! I recommend cleansing, exfoliating, cleansing and then using it. I use mine in the shower and stand in the warm water while I am using it to keep my pores open. My skin has never been cleaner after 2 weeks of use. but you can't just turn it on and expect it to work without at least 5 minutes of steam on very clean skin. The first time I used it my husband commented on how good my skin looked - he thought I had had a facial.

This is my skincare miracle! I have never used a product that improved my skin this much, better results than with any cram or soap or buffer. I have oily, resistant (opposite of sensitive) skin so I've found that I can use the wide suction devise for longer than the directions recommend. From the first time I used it my gunky pores and blackheads felt and looked dramatically clearer, my face felt smooth and soft to the touch, stuff that heavy duty mudmasks couldn't get was wisked away by the pore vacuum. With regular use my blackheads are gone and skin is younger feeling and more radiant. I feel my lotions penetrate so much better now because my skin is wonderfully exfoliated by the vacuum. This is hands down the best beauty product I've ever used.

I recently purchased this pore cleanser mainly for my 14 yr old to use since she has a problem with blackheads. I decided to try it out first so I could show her how to use it properly. I was disgusted yet fascinated by the amount of goo it sucked off my face. My daughter had a similar experience. Both our noses looked better the next morning. Her blackhead count was visibly lessened. The only suggestion I would have for panasonic is to figure out a way to make the mist warm water. It seems counterproductive to me to spray cold water on the face thus closing the very pores you are trying to clean. The mist is also a little messy but I understand why it is necessary. I would say that this is worth the money and you should give it a try.

This product does a good job of pulling out the sebum in the pores. It took me several tries before I got the hang of using it. What works for me is using the small suction cup end and putting pressure on it for about one second and move on to another section. You can tell it works by visually seeing the sebum pulled out on the inside side of the suction cup.

I've had huge pores for as long as I can remember. They always look huge and filled with gunk - YUCK!

After a couple of uses, I noticed that my pores are actually getting smaller. I use it every day right after I shower and see that sebum is being removed every time.

Ok guys, this is actually a good product if you don't follow the instructions included. The proof that this product is working is the rather gross white discharge that accumulates on the nozzle during use. In any case this is how this product should be used. Take a long and steamy shower...emphasis on long and steamy so as to open up those pores. At the end of the shower and while you are still in the shower use the product on your nose trying to maintain the suction as you drag it across the nose from one nostril to another. Repeating this motion and applying a modest amount of pressure will allow for even better results. If you do this correctly the aformentioned discharge will accumulate and your nose will begin to feel smooth. For best results do this once a week. The only side effect is the moderate amount of bruising that can occur from pressing too hard. Trust me this will dissapear in days and can be minimized by adjusting the amount of pressure that you use. I bought two of these about 6 years ago...don't ask me why. I must admit one has better suction then the other and I will likely buy another soon because I am always concerned that it might stop being produced because many people are not seeing the results that I am.

You have to use it correctly: 1) at the end of a hot shower or 2) after steaming the face for a few minutes. The mist is unnecessary. The trick is to drag it very very slowly over the face--you can feel the suction. I suspect people who think it doesn't work are just dragging it over the skin. I've had recurrent blackheads on my nose my entire life--I'm 44--and finally my blackheads are completely gone. After using it three times, my pores were visibly more refined. After a week, my skin looks like glass. You can see the gunk it's sucking up in the vacuum attachment. I find the larger attachment side works better for me--more suction--but the small side works too for creases of the nose. I am so impressed I bought another one for my sister.

I have to admit that I didn't have much expectations for this product. I started using it while taking a hot shower and it works pretty good. The suction on your skin was a little painful at first but I am used to it now. This product works great if you open your pores by putting your face of steam for couple of mins or daily on the shower. In my case the steam from the shower is not enought to open all my pores but because I use it daily it keeps my pores relatively clean.

The post before mine is correct, the suction cup is reversible and you can use the bigger side on most of your face and the small side on the hard areas like your nose.

Here's the upshot from what I've noticed for me and some others.

+It works best for people with moderate/serious sebum issues.
+It works most effectively on the nose, but can be used elsewhere on the face (with less effect).
+The steaming/warming your face is kinda a double-edged sword. More steaming = more pore opening, but also softer skin susceptible to irritation when the cleanser starts sucking against it. Be sure to have enough warm water to loosely open your pores though, at the very least. +Personally I've found a warm 30s to 1min face wash perfectly fine for me.
+Be sure to make your skin moist! Cleaning your skin will take a few minutes, and I've found that I had to reapply warm water generally a few times.

It ain't perfect, but it sure serves me well.

I find this to be an effective cleansing tool. You will not notice imediate results so don't be discouraged by some of the reviews here. For an effective treatment the face should be thoroughly cleansed, steamed and exfoliated. An at home microdermabrasion treatment is the best but if not, use your regular brand of facial scrub. Exfoliating will get rid of the excess cells sitting on the surface of your skin that prevent the pore from being effectively cleaned. Steaming obviously will help open and soften the pores which will also aid in cleansing.
You may only actually remove the contents of a few pores each time you use it, but you will notice greater skin clarity and you will notice your pores staying clean if you use this regularly.

I purchased this for my 12 year old daughter who is battling with the issues of clear skin while transforming into adulthood. First we tried Clean & Clear Blackhead Eraser Kit and that only seemed to irritate her skin and make her nose look red and raw from using the buffer pad. She has been overall pleased with the results after using the Panasonic EH2511A Pore Cleanser with Micro-fine Mist. Like other reviews have mentioned before, you get better results if you use it in the shower after washing your face with warm water to open your pores. The misting option really does not have much of a benefit except the col mist does feel good on a hot summer day. Make sure you keep constant motion because it will cause a red/purple mark on your face if you leave the suction nozzle still in one place for longer than 5 or more seconds. The instructions state do not hold the application on each spot for more than 10 seconds, but I thought that number was a little high. Everyone's skin tones and blemishes are different, so I guess it depends on the user.

Has a one year limited warranty. Easy to clean and maintain. First initial charge is 12 hours but after that it hold the charge for quite a while. Completely waterproof and best if used in the shower.

I was surprised to see so many negative reviews for this device.

Granted, the misting option does not work very well and is useless. There is reduced suction when using the narrower side of the nozzle. For these reasons, I give the pore cleaner four stars, instead of five.

When I use the pore cleaner I use it dry, right after I've either washed or steamed my face. I always use the wider side of the nozzle, and run the device in slow, gentle strokes across my face.

To leave it in one place for too long could cause some of the problems (hickeys, etc.) that I've read about in previous reviews. In fact, the instructions that I received with the cleaner discourage leaving the nozzle in a specific area for a lengthy time.

Another thing one has to remember is to rinse the device often. If you remove the nozzle, you will see a very small, fine screen not unlike what you see in faucet nozzles. Because the area is so small, any sebum or dead skin that is sucked in there can cause the suction to be reduced, clogging it.

Anyway, enough of explaining how to use it.

I have very delicate, sensitive skin with very small pores... but I can get oily and develop small blackheads in my "T-zone." So far, I have had this pore cleaner for a few years and it has worked wonderfully for me... better than the pore strips that leave red welts on my face for hours (I think I'm allergic to the adhesive).

It is well-built and I have had no problems with it functioning so far.

This product is best to use after you've had a skin peel or microdermabration. You have to wait until all the skin on your face has peeled and then you can use it. It's incredible how much junk it sucked from my pores after a skin peel.

If you don't have the money or time to have a skin peel or microdermabration you can scrub you face in the shower and then use it while your face is still wet. It won't unclog as many pores but it's still fairly good. Then I just use a metal pore extractor for any clogged pores it left behind since I don't want to use the metal pore extractor for all of my face.

There are three rules I always follow when using this product: 1) always use after a shower 2) always keep my face wet 3) always after I've expoliated my face
By expoliating, there's less blocking the suction.

If I don't do these three things this product is pretty much useless. Oh, and I don't advice using the big suction cup. The small one is better.

I bought this product and I started to use after taking a shower. I could see some whitehead and blackhead coming out. Unfortunadely, not all white head come out imediately with one stoke. YOu have to give a massage many time in the same area in order to work. It is also bad to massage the same area many time because the skin will get redness. I ended up like a vampire because I massage the right side below my lower lips and my skin in that area turn out to become red. I think, I need more practice in using this product. I am positive that in the next tries, I will know how to use it better. The good thing is that I can see my blackheads coming out from my face. You only need some patience in doing this. You have to be very careful to not overuse it. Otherwise, your skin will turn red.

I bought this in hopes it would help clear up my slightly aging, and definately blemished skin. As it costs as much as one facial I thought it might be a good investment in clear skin. I haven't seen any improvement in my skin so I'm still thinking about trying a short series of facials.

I have never used this product, but i'm very curious about it. The directions say that with CONTINUED REGULAR USE you will notice cleaner pores.

I would love to know if this thing works.

It will indeed give your face little dark purple marks if you hold it in one place too long, ladies. And you'll have to use cover up for at least 2-3 days afterwards, which will increase your chances of getting even more blackheads...
So does it work? After three weeks of using it 2-3 times per week, I'm not really sure. The suction cup looks like it's taken in a few blackheads(ew! but better there than in my pores...), so it has to be doing something. But when I look at my face, all I can think is that I'm better off squeezing them with my fingers!
Oh, and even though there's a mister, if you fill it up with hot water, it still comes out cold and closes up your pores. Go figure.

honestly, I have a lot of blackheads on my nose.. its starting to really bother me therefore, I purchased this pore cleanser. OK, this product doesn't take out my blackheads. It does open up my pore and make it easier for me to use a stainless steel blackhead remover to scrub off my blackheads but this suction doesn't remove the blackheads. That is why I think its a total waste of money. Let me suggest you all to take a facial steam for 5-10 minutes and then use a metal (professional blackhead remover) and start to scrub off the blackheads. That works much better.

I purchased this last year after I was delighted to find out that there was a simple (and cheap) way get rid of all those annoying clogged pores/black heads on my nose. Little did I know that the Panasonic EH2511A Pore Cleanser with Micro-fine Mist wasn't going to work for me. I thought following the instructions, line for line, that came with the product would suffice, but there's prolly something extra required for me and others to do to get good results. I even tried waiting (a lot) longer than recommended to try and get my pores out, but that only made my nose pink and cold (because of having the mist on the entire time).

It's been a while since I tried to use the pore cleanser since I got frustrated this wasn't the one stop solution to my clogged pores. Before this I tried Biore Pore Perfect Ultra Deep Cleansing Pore Strips to no avail. I'll have to keep looking or do more work to keep my skin toned, or at least get rid of those blackheads.. -,-

This product doesn't work for me, so I give it's rating a 1 star, w/o considering price. I give it another star for the concept of trying to pull pores out, just that it wasnt strong enough (however if the suction was too strong, it would probably cause more damage than benefit.. i thinks.)

I haven't written a review for a product before because I was never inclined to, but I realized how often I look for reviews to products that I'm interested to buy. Now that I feel like writing one a year later, here's one of the few reviews I'm going to write, even if it's too little too late.

55.) I wish SOMETHING would work for me - the Panasonic didn't
Reviewed by: Gmaz

I owned the original model which didn't work well. So I was excited about the new one. I thought the suction would be stronger. Unfortunately, I experienced the same poor results. Other people rated the product highly but I think I have really plugged pores! I would pay $200+ if something would work for me. I wish I could give a review that said "Great product -works just as claimed!"

It can remove a few blackheads put but only after hitting the spot several times. I called Panasonic's customer service department and spoke to a rep but all she could do is read off her product fact sheet.

End of review - It's off topic but I think it's relevent:
If anyone has had any luck with other methods, I would sure love to know about them. Even though I wash my face thoroughly, I still have blackheads around my nose area and just below my eyes. I'm 55 and I've been dealing with this problem since I was 18. I tried strips, astringents, the black head remover tool, etc without any luck.

Judging from the reviews, I discovered that there are many other people with the same frustrating problem. Could we start a web blog or something to share tips, methods, etc? If someone knows how to set it up, it would be great.

I had high hopes for this product. Maybe too high. I make sure I wash my face and get my skin nice and soft before I use it. I do notice a difference in my pores after I have used it. HOWEVER, the results only last about 24 hours. So then I'm right back where I started. I don't have the time to do this every single day. What I had hoped for was that I would notice the difference for a few days to a week, not 24 hours.
So, when I have an event coming up, or a special occasion, that is when I use this product, to give me a little boost in how my skin looks.

I bought this thinking it would be a good way to routinely clean my facial pores, however the suction isnt ample enough to do a good job.

62.) Old idea...just doesn't work
Reviewed by: B. Holmes
Rating:
The idea of vacuuming out sebum from pores has been around forever. Same concept is used at some expensive spas and my ex had an extremely expensive home 'este' machine that was supposed to do the same thing (along with a couple other things). I have no idea about spa treatments but I imagine they use a much stronger, more focused vacuum. This thing works about as well as that beast of a compressor she kept boxed up in the closet for 5 years before dumping it.

Anyway this is my experience with the Panny EH2511A. I've got larger pores and excess sebum in the nose, chin and area between the eyebrows. I'm probably guilty of eating too much cheese and protein is what causes it and my T-zone. Ok ok, not a metrosexual but my ex was the highest maintenance woman you could possibly think of and she hounded me for years to take care of my skin so that's where I picked up everything. I've been using pore strips once a week for years along with washing my face twice daily with a good facial soap and non-clogging moisturizer with good results.

But seeing this on Amazon and at a decent price brought up visions of no more paying for strips and waiting around for the thing to dry hoping nobody sees me. Also somewhat fascinating in a freakish way was the idea of just zoom zoom zoom vacuuming up all that annoying gunk. I took a long shower, opening up my pores and tried it out. I used the small end and worked around the trouble areas. Filled up the mister and used that. Mister is worthless, even by putting warm water in it. Just having your nose wet does the same thing as what the mister is supposed to achienve (better seal around the suction cup). As other's point out, it leaves your skin red and irritates it. As far as sucking out the sebum from the pore, it's worthless. I noticed some stuff in the plastic suction cub to give the illusion that it's working at least a little bit but it's doing nothing more than just scraping the surface stuff off with the side of the cup. You can achieve the same results if you have the thing off or just by gently using a fingernail. Simply put, it doesn't have enough concentrated suction to actually pull the sebum out of the pore. Tried it again about a week later, same results. Going back to Amazon and feel foolish for believing it might work. It belongs on an infomercial.

FYI don't ever, ever use your finger(nails) to pinch your pores. It damages your skin.

I saw this product being advertised on TV. They were showing the cleanser actually sucking out all the blackheads/sebum/dirt/etc from someone's pores. I thought it was amazing.

I found out that someone I knew already bought the cleanser, and she said that it didn't work at all. I ordered the Panasonic anyway. Big mistake.

The vacuum on this thing is way too weak to suck out anything from your pores. All it does is irritate your skin, usually leaving red marks that may last over a week.

Don't buy this product. It's a waste of money and time.

Some of the reviewers made suggestions on how to use it correctly. I tried, but no luck.

One good thing came out of this cleanser though. My brother used it on a pesky pimple on his nose. The Panasonic popped it, and now it's gone. According to the instructions, you're not supposed to use this on pimples. I guess he was just lucky.

Lifting it to position I remember a short prayer to the gods of beauty asking this to truly be my salvation. Then as the machine hummed it was pressed forth to the scene of the crime and yelled loudly as the air was sucked clean and skin forced upward into its nozzle.

Features of Panasonic EH2511A Pore Cleanser with Micro-fine Mist

New! The Panasonic Pore Cleanser with Mist cleans deep below the surface for clear, beautiful skin. The latest innovation from Panasonic features a micro-fine mist that sprays as you clean. The mist allows for better suction and smoother use on the skin while cleansing your pores. Continuous micro-fine mist ensures that the suction cup stays on your skin tightly to remove oil and dirt from the pores. Without it, gaps of air form between the suction cup and the skin resulting in a loss of suction force. Now a continuous spray of fine mist seals the surface and enhances suction power for cleaner pores plus alleviates potential skin irritation resulting from pulling action on the skin. This Pore Cleanser can be used in a wet or dry environment and can be fully immersed in water. Using the Pore Cleanser during or after the shower allows your pores to open up and improves cleaning effectiveness.The reversible suction cup is great for targeting specific areas of the face. The ultra slim design allows the suction cup to focus in on hard-to-reach areas around the nose. Simply reverse the suction cup to cover larger areas of your skin. The Pore Cleanser with Mist from Panasonic cleanses away whiteheads and blackheads as well as refines the appearance of large pores. It provides a refreshing, clean sensation while keeping dirt and oil out of your pores. Once you begin using the Pore Cleanser regularly, you'll be on your way to cleaner, clearer skin.
