how to use it
I have an old Panasonic EH2501 that I have used for several years at least once per month. The water mister is useless I do not need it no one does. I do not use the big suction cup only the little concentrated small cup side does the job well for me.
First off wash your face with a soapy cleanser like a neutrogena bar this will soften up your skin and the plugs in the pores (cleansing creams or cold creams won't work to get the right softness). You can even steam with a warm wash cloth after the soapy cleanser. Once your face is softened then you can use this pore cleanser. Don't let you face get dry at any time during the pore cleansing. Keep your face wet with warm water not merely moist. The wetness on your skin will help you have a good sealed suction cup against your skin. The wetness also keeps those pore plugs water-logged and soft and easy to remove. Move the small side cup over skin keeping the cup constantly moving.
The first time you may get what some call the 'scraping off' of surface dead cells (since the surface skin is now wet and soft) but keep at it and re-wet skin with warm water if needed and the next time you move the cup over that spot it will remove the contents of pores now that the surface dead layers are out of the way.
Do not just use this on dry skin misted over using the mist attachment or you will be disappointed. Don't use the big cup side and don't forget to keep the suction cup moving unless you want to create the appearance of a hickey.
I would not hesitate to buy this brand and product again (I visited the page tempted to get a newer improved model). I am amazed that there are people that don't use it right and blame the product but then it is also the manufacturer's fault for adding a useless mist attachment and representing that you can use this starting out with dry skin. If I only used the dry skin and mist approach I would be angry about the experience too.
