While most pore vacuums are going to operate with suction, it's worth calling out spatula devices, which sit just adjacent to pore vacuums, are probably preferable for sensitive skin types. Some pore vacuums will also come with microdermabrasion tips, which "offer gentle exfoliation along with suction benefits." A more narrow tip would be ideal for the sides of the nostrils, while a larger tip could be used along the forehead. "Different shape tips allow you to use the device in different parts of the face," says Dr. There's a good reason for all the add-ons. You're going to notice that a decent chunk of options on the market come complete with a singular base and a multitude of tip attachments. Areas of thicker skin, like the nose, can tolerate higher suction levels."
"Areas of thin skin, like the neck and skin around the eyes are especially susceptible to trauma. "The greater the level of suction, the more likely you are to damage blood vessels leading to bruising," says board-certified dermatologist Dr. As such, you'll likely want to select a pore vacuum that has a variety of settings. Different areas of the skin can handle different levels of suction-it's not a one-size-fits-all situation. Let me say this loud and clear: Customizability is key.

Most importantly, using a well-vetted pore vacuum tool is key. Technique is key, patience is going to be a virtue, and sensitive skin is unwelcome. That said, they need to be used with an ~extreme~ abundance of caution. In short: Pore vacuums work-and are oddly satisfying (don’t judge, please and thanks).
