Product of: Korea

Product Description

Enriched with albumin, promotes firmer skin and smaller pores.
Penetrates deeply into pores to remove pore-clogging oil.

Packaging

It comes in a huge tube with no spatula. Why won’t these companies ever provide spatulas?

Ingredients

Purified water, Butylene Glycol, Titanium Dioxide, Glycerin, Bentonite, Silica, Caprylic /Capric Triglyceride, Cetearyl Alcohol, PEG-100 Stearate, Glyceryl Stearate, Stearic Acid, Palmitate tick Acid, Olive Oil, Glyceryl Stearate SE, Polysorbate 60, Kaolin, Zinc Oxide, Betaine, Sorbitan Stearate, Caprylic Glycol, Ethylhexylglycerin, polyvinyl alcohol, PVP, Phenoxyethanol, Panthenol, Sodium Hyaluronate, Xanthan gum, flavoring, albumin,Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Disodium EDTA

Texture & Fragrance

The mask is a white and has a has a thick cream-like consistency. It has a mild earthy scent to it as well.

How to Use

After cleansing, apply some of the product on dry face. Leave it on for 10-15 minutes. Then, rinse off and follow with moisturizer.

My Impression

Let me be honest. I bought this product because it's highly raved. I was pleasantly surprised, that I actually love this product. First of all, I just need a little bit (a pea-sized portion) of the product to use for my entire face. So, it lasts really long. Next, the soft, creamy mask did not make my face dry at all, compared to most clay masks. In fact, it did not crack after drying and left my skin soft, smooth and supple. My pores did seem to be smaller as well. Furthermore, it did not cause any breakouts and its great for my sensitive skin. My pores also seem much cleaner and I would definitely repurchase this product again.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Affordable
Contains plenty of product
Does not dry up the skin
Very mild scent

Leaves skin soft, smooth and supple.

How My Troubled Skin Got Better

So let me talk about what I did in order to control the horrible breakouts I experienced. My friends suggested me to wash my face 3 times a day or more. That actually made my face worse. I read somewhere saying that we need to use clean sheets everyday while sleeping so that our pore would not get clogged. Do you expect me to change the sheets every day? My answer is unquestionably no. I am a university student and I definitely do not have time to do that.

Instead my mum suggested me to use clean, freshly washed towels. I am certainly not going to hand-wash towels every! (For your information I do not have washing machine, those machines that are available in campus usually breaks down and I would have to wait at least 1 hour in line just to wash clothes, I know, I lead a crazy and miserable life, lol).

So, I decided to use freshly washed T-shirt instead, which I would cover them on my pillowcase and use it the next day. (I know it's gross, but then I think I’m getting more gross everyday as student). My face did have fewer breakouts, and I am continuing it until now. I tried skipping this routine, but then I actually had breakouts when I do that. I really wish my face is not that sensitive.

I also used Oxy 5 Vanishing Formula 5% Benzoyl Peroxide Regular Strength Acne Pimple Medication It helped me out for a while, but then then it left scars all over my face. I also used Neutrogena deep clean energizing foam cleanser as my daily face wash to clear my skin thoroughly. I also used Neutrogena Deep Clean Blackhead Eliminating Cooling Toner. This really helped me out to control my breakout.

So, let me summarize what I said above.

How I treated my troubled skin

Do's

Cover pillow with freshly washed clothes/ towel
Wash face twice a day
Use moisturizer
Change sheets at least once a week
Use pimple cream before going to bed
Use sunscreen everyday (even if it is a rainy day)
Tea tree oils helps
If its uncontrollable, a visit to dermatologist may help

Don'ts

Do not wash your face more than twice a day (as washing your face often it will strip out skin moisture which will lead to more oily skin)
Never touch your face (since your hands will not always be clean, right? Its full bacteria, germs, debris ect..)
Never skip sunscreen
Don’t let hair get in contact to your face too often
Do not frequently change your skincare products

They are gentle to my skin and removes makeup easily without any force. I don't like the bottled packaging because the opening is too wide. It's prone to spillage.

I might buy them but not so soon, since I'm not working yet. :D
