Hello my dear
readers and friends^^
I’m back again
with some review and a little spin off story (don’t worry just a little not too
much : ))
It’s
been a bit long since I wrote my previous post. Lately I’m more into
blogwalking than filling in new post. I’ve been lacking passion to write beauty
review these days. There are many things I have to deal with. I have to catch
up with my projects at work this month before heading to a long holidays for
Idul Fitri in the end of this month. Seems this ramadhan is the busiest fasting
month I’ve ever been in my whole life. But I try to be consistent in providing
article on my blog, at least that is what I can do to appreciate all my readers
and my fellow bloggers.
I
just realized now that blogging means so much for me coz somehow I kinda find
new world with new experiences in it, knowing new people and sharing a lot of
thought and info. Blogging is the way I spare my time into something good and
useful for me and also for others. Honestly, sometimes it becomes a good way to
distract me from my sadness, my sorrow, and the bitterness of my life (sorry if
this sounds bit sentimental). I love sharing coz sharing makes me happy. I am
thankful to all my readers and my blogger friends who‘s been kind to interact
with me, leaving comments, and all the
support u give by becoming my follower.
Ok,
enough with the spin off, now let’s get back on my review.

From the ingredient list we can
see that this product has soothing and trouble care properties and also exfoliating
ingredients.
This is the pic of the sachet that I've used.
How do I use
it?
NB : I’m sorry I
do not post the picture of me using it coz I have used it several days ago
before this review is being made. But I try to explain as clear as I could.
Above is the pic I took from Etude commercial. The ilustrations show us how to use this product.
I wash my face with scrub before
using it. I think it’s an effective way because scrubbing helps to remove dead
skin layer on my nose so the next product I use can give maximum result.
The
Black Head Remover Sheet is in form of tissue mask soaked in the liquid. I have
problem to take it from inside the sachet and apply it on my nose. It feels
like I have to maintain the form of wet little tissue sheet into its proper
shape before putting it on my nose. I smells slightly citrusy scent from it, oh
yes looking at the ingredients, it has
citrus in it.
I leave it for about 15 minutes until I see
some of my whiteheads dissolved on the outside of my pores. And then I wipe my
nose using cotton bud and facial cotton sheets. I squeeze my nose a bit to get
all the remaining black/whiteheads out of my pores.
The
Tightening Gel Sheet is in dry form.
Reminds me of pore pack that I usually use. But this one’s supposed to
moisturize and smoothen my pores. I find it hard to be attached on my nose.
This is supposed to completely attached following the shape of my nose, right? Seems
like this sheet tends to back to its own form and peeled off on its own. I
apply the tightening sheet immediately after wiping my nose. Ugh, I have to
hold the sheet with my fingers on my nose to get the advantage of it, so it won’t
peeled off. This sheet is almost unscented, well, I don’t find any particular
scent on it (maybe because my blocked nose I don’t know).
Final Result :
I
see my nose clean and moisturized. This product do not dry my skin like most of
pore pack usually do. No sign of redness or irritation appears. This product
works just fine and gentle on my skin.
Here is the
resume of my opinions:
Pros :
- Really does
its job to pull out the whiteheads from inside my pores
- Moisturizing
- Did not
irritate my sensitive skin
- Contains
herbal ingredients
Cons :
- pricey for a
‘one-use’ product
- Not strong
enough to take out my stubborn blackheads (I still have to squeeze my nose to
get rid of it)
- contains
preservative and fragrance
- The Tightening
Gel Sheet is kinda ‘slippery’. Somehow it’s hard to get it completely attached
on my nose like what the instruction said.
Who may like
it?
- Those with
not-so-stubborn white/blackheads
- don’t mind the
paraben, phenoxyethanol, alcohol and fragrance
- don’t find it
pricey
Who may not
like it?
- Those with
extra stubborn blackheads (since this product is not capable enough to take my
blackheads).
- Those who find
it pricey (me for example)
- Don’t like
paraben, phenoxyethanol, alcohol and fragrance inside it
Wanna
repurchase? I don't think so. It costs too much for me, besides the second sheet is not easily attached on the skin. I found that the application of this product is not easy for unpatient consumen like me (Rada ribet bo' makenya). There are many other
cheaper alternatives and easier ways than this.
Do u have any
suggestion to remove stubborn blackheads? Well, share ur story with me, I’d
like to hear it^^ XOXO

wow, you have a perfect review! you write everything clearly.. have you ever tried Biore?
I don't really like to use pore pack because it doesn't work for my blackheads..:( but I don't know about this product. Maybe better tha Biore (harganya aja jauh beda.. hihi)
I prefer to use Shiseido because it's really strong to get rid all of my comedos.. Hahaha :D
Hi, dear, thanx for ur compliment^^ *blush* My review is still lack of pictures though.
Biore pore pack is good for removing whiteheads. I used to buy it every month but lately I want to look for another alternative since Biore is sometimes can be drying and leaving bit redness on my nose.
I never try shiseido before. If u find that shiseido works well on u then maybe I should give it a try^^
Thank u for visiting here^^
Thanks so much for reviewing this! I saw this on Etude but still quite hesitant to get one as the price is quite expensive for just one time use... I think I'll just skip this and stay with biore instead since its much cheaper and I guess they have pretty much the same functions..BTW, great blog! following you =)
Hello, Janet, thanx for visiting me here and following my blog.
I have visited and followed ur blog too via GFC, u got a nice blog there^^
Yes, I agree that u should buy biore instead of this product, coz this blackhead sachet so much overpriced for one time use. I sometimes use biore too, much cheaper.
too bad the product doesnt work perfectly :(
