Vogue's Top Ultrasonic Skin Scrubbers for Decongesting Pores
Vogue has put together a list of top ultrasonic skin scrubbers, which are also known as ultrasonic pore extractors or skin spatulas. These handy devices work by using high-frequency vibrations between 20,000 and 30,000 hertz to help clean out clogged pores and improve skin texture, according to dermatologist Michele Green, MD. Among the highlighted products are the beginner-friendly Dermaflash Dermapore+ Ultrasonic Pore Extractor for $109, the PMD Wave Pro 4-in-1 Pore Extractor at $129 that combines ultrasonic vibrations with EMS technology, the $89 Nurse Jamie Dermascrape for sensitive skin, and the Mario Badescu Ultrasonic Pore Cleaner, priced at $50, which offers great value. Dr. Green warns against using these on active acne or damaged skin and suggests limiting extraction to once or twice a week to avoid irritation.
