How did I use it on areas where blackheads were a concern?
In the humid, hot weather, I was concerned about the pores and blackheads in my T-zone, so I looked for a product I could use daily instead of a harsh nose strip and gave this one a try. I spread it evenly over my dry face, then massaged the T-zone, where sebum had built up, in circular motions with my fingers. Finally, I added a little water to emulsify it and rinsed with lukewarm water.
How does the balm texture change while cleansing?
It started out as a balm, but when it met the warmth of my skin, it melted smoothly like an oil. When rinsed with water, it emulsified into a milky texture, so it felt fresh after cleansing with relatively little oily residue.
How did the blackhead area feel after one use?
After massaging and rinsing the blackhead area, which had felt bumpy before use, the sebum sitting on the surface seemed softened and my skin texture felt smoother. Rather than expecting a dramatic change all at once like with a nose strip, I plan to keep caring for it consistently while I use up the jar.
What does the product say about its ingredients and test results?
The product information described it as a vegan recipe containing Jirisan charcoal, camellia oil, jojoba seed oil, rice bran extract, green tea water, and more. It also says that human application testing confirmed results for the moisture barrier and blackhead improvement, but I treated that as product-provided test information for reference.
I also looked into whether it could be considered for sensitive, dry skin, but skin reactions can vary from person to person, so it seems best to check your own skin condition before using it.
