Acleon Blackhead Pore Sebum Softener

Intensive care that melts sebum using osmotic pressure

A sebum softener developed specifically for excess oil and blackhead concerns. This cooling water-type formula works by placing a soaked cotton pad on oily areas for 10–15 minutes, allowing sebum deep within pores to gently dissolve and rise to the surface. It uses osmotic pressure to soften sebum and blackheads while helping to clear out impurities trapped in pores. The non-comedogenic, oil-free formula makes it suitable even for oily skin types without feeling heavy.

Versatile use from face to scalp and body

Beyond facial pore care, it can be used for scalp exfoliation and body care on areas like the back and chest.

Face: Once or twice a week, open pores with a warm towel, then apply a soaked cotton pad for 10–15 minutes. Finish with a cotton swab or cleanser. Scalp: Two to three times a week, apply to dry scalp before shampooing, massage for 2–3 minutes, then rinse with shampoo. Body: Two to three times a week, wipe down oily areas like the back or chest with a soaked cotton pad, then shower.

For daily care, apply a small amount to a cotton pad before your morning cleanse and gently wipe along the skin's texture to keep your complexion fresh all day long.

For oily skin struggling with excess sebum production

Especially well-suited for those whose makeup breaks down by midday or who notice scalp oiliness. If you deal with recurring blackheads and whiteheads or enlarged pores, this brings professional-level sebum care into your home routine. For dry skin types, apply only to oily areas and limit contact time to 5–10 minutes. Avoid use on sensitive skin.

Use before cleansing to soften sebum

Cebowex is a sebum softener designed to be used before cleansing. It's a pre-treatment product that melts down sebum and blackheads, making them easier to remove during your cleanse. For even better results, open up your pores with a warm steam towel before applying.

Morning or evening — choose based on your needs

For intensive care, use 1–2 times a week in the evening before cleansing. If you want to maintain fresh, balanced skin daily, you can use it as a light morning wipe before your regular cleanse. For scalp care, apply 2–3 times a week on dry scalp before shampooing.

Application method and recommended amount by area

• Intensive facial care: Place a thin cotton pad on sebum-prone areas like the nose and forehead, saturate it thoroughly with Cebowex, and leave on for 10–15 minutes. When you remove the pad, you'll see lifted sebum — gently wipe it away with a cotton swab or rinse off with a cleanser.
• Daily care: Apply a moderate amount to a cotton pad and gently wipe along the skin's texture, then rinse with water.
• Scalp: Dispense directly onto dry scalp along the hairline, massage in with your fingertips, wait 2–3 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with shampoo.
• Body: For sebum-heavy areas like the back or chest, wipe with a cotton pad 2–3 times a week before showering, then rinse with lukewarm water.

Adjust frequency based on your skin type

If you have oily skin or high sebum production, you can combine intensive care 1–2 times a week with daily use. Combination skin types can focus on the T-zone only, while dry skin types should use it just once a week on sebum-prone areas. Shortening the application time to 5–10 minutes can also help minimize irritation.

Precautions

Avoid use if you have sensitive skin, and be careful not to get the product in your eyes. Always rinse thoroughly with a cleanser or water after use. If you experience irritation or discomfort, discontinue use immediately and consult a dermatologist.
