Obagi CLENZIderm M.D. Pore Therapy is a powerful exfoliating toner formulated with 2% salicylic acid to deeply cleanse and purify pores. Designed as a key step in the Obagi CLENZIderm M.D. System, this pore-refining treatment clears away excess oil and dead skin cells that contribute to acne breakouts.
By accelerating cell turnover and unclogging congested pores, Obagi CLENZIderm M.D. Pore Therapy helps reduce blackheads, whiteheads, and surface blemishes. Its refreshing menthol formula cools the skin on contact, leaving it feeling clean, smooth, and balanced without over-drying.
Ideal for oily and acne-prone skin types, Obagi CLENZIderm M.D. Pore Therapy prepares the skin for better penetration of acne-fighting treatments, resulting in a visibly clearer, refined complexion.
