Born from the same innovation as ILSO's bestselling Natural Mild Clear Nose Pack, the Super Melting Sebum Softener takes targeted pore care to the next level. Rather than ripping, pulling or squeezing, this lightweight liquid uses a slightly alkaline pH of 8–9 to chemically dissolve oxidised sebum and blackheads lodged inside pores — loosening congestion so it lifts out with minimal effort. The set includes 40 Skin Wrap Cotton Pads designed to conform closely to contours like the nose and chin for maximum contact and even saturation.
Key Benefits
- Dissolves stubborn sebum and blackheads without squeezing or pore-stretching force. The slightly alkaline pH emulsifies hardened oil, turning solid plugs into a soft, removable consistency.
- Papaya Fruit Extract and Papain gently break down dead skin cells and surface impurities that sit on top of pores, helping sebum reach the surface more easily.
- Centella Asiatica Extract, Houttuynia Cordata Extract and Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract deliver a calming effect after deep cleansing, reducing post-treatment sensitivity and redness.
- Squalane and Panthenol help restore moisture and comfort to the skin immediately after use, preventing the tight, dry feeling often associated with pore-clearing treatments.
- Willow Bark Extract (Salix Alba) provides mild natural exfoliation to support cleaner, clearer-looking pores over time.
- Includes 40 Skin Wrap Cotton Pads — thin, flexible pads shaped to cling to nose, chin and T-zone for full contact during the soaking step.
Suitable For
- Oily and combination skin types with visible sebum build-up, congested pores or persistent blackheads
- Those looking for a non-aggressive alternative to pore strips or extraction tools
- Any skin type prone to visible pores along the nose, chin and forehead
How to Use
- After cleansing, open pores by applying warm water or steaming briefly.
- Twist the pointed cap to open. Press the centre of the container or dab directly onto a Skin Wrap Cotton Pad to dispense.
- Saturate the pad generously and press it firmly onto the nose, chin or other areas of concern. Add more product during use to keep the pad damp throughout.
- Leave in place for 10–15 minutes.
- Remove the pad, then gently wipe away softened sebum using a cotton swab or an extraction tool such as the ILSO Deep Clean Master.
- Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and continue with your regular skincare routine.
