You definitely feel the suction. As long as you don't use it too often, I'm sure it wont irritate your skin. So far, I think that it works quite well. Don't stay at one spot for too long. If your white/black heads don't get removed on some places don't force it - It will come out eventually. Good product, relatively easy to clean, and make sure you air dry the product when you can.

This thing is absolutely WORTHLESS. My pores are HUGE and I can get over a hundred pore plugs with a Biore strip. I may have cleaned one pore after 5 minutes of trying with this piece of junk. I returned it. I have no clue why anybody is reviewing this as good. Do yourself a favor and wash your face REGULARLY and use a Biore strip when things get bad.

I recived this product about a year ago and I have yet to fall in like with it. The suction is not strong enough, the mist is mimal, your better off using your fingers to unclog your pores then count on this!

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.

I have not seen a similar type product like this in the market and it works wonders on my skin. I am so happy that I found this item on Amazon and really love it!
