How Robin Uses Porefector for Dry Skin Redness & Breakout Prevention
Robin left us a glowing 5-star review for Porefector, our no-makeup face blemish balm, and we had to share her tip because it’s a game-changer for anyone dealing with redness or dry skin.
She writes:
"I don't write reviews. In fact, I've been using Porefector for months and have even reordered, and it has taken me this long to write a review. I love products and love trying new ones.
I have combination skin, and when my skin gets dry, I usually reach for hydrating lotions—but in the past, every time I tried them, my face broke out (mostly on my chin).
With more time on my hands these days, I've discovered something new. Not only do I use Porefector as a spot treatment for breakouts, but now I use it as a base on my trouble areas before layering on hydrating lotions—and it’s PREVENTING breakouts.
This sweet little jar of magic is not only a fixer but also a preventer!! EVERYONE needs this (and Bedrock) in their skincare arsenal."
Why This Works for Dry Skin and Redness
Robin’s tip highlights a smart approach to blemish prevention: using Porefector to calm irritation, redness on the face, and create a protective barrier before applying richer, more hydrating skincare products. This method works especially well for combination or dry skin types prone to breakouts.
Robin – awesome job experimenting with Porefector! You discovered a smart way to use our blemish spot cream to tackle breakouts before they show up.

Q: What is Porefector best for?
A: Pore care. Customers use Porefector for calming acne, clarifying clogged pores, absorbing oils, mattifying shine, evening skin tone and drying out blemishes. It's the ultimate multitasking spot cream for a glowing complexion.
Q: Will it dry out my skin?
A: Nope! Porefector helps rebalance skin so it feels hydrated, not stripped.
Q: How can zinc oxide help my complexion?
A: Zinc oxide isn’t just a sunscreen ingredient. Studies show it has antimicrobial power against acne-causing bacteria, helps calm inflammation, and even reduces excess oil. Researchers have found zinc oxide can target C. acnes (the bacteria behind breakouts) while soothing redness and supporting skin repair. In plain English? It keeps skin clearer, calmer, and balanced—without harsh chemicals.
