Etude House: Wonder Pore Freshner Review

"I'm the Wonder Woman for your pores" -Wonder Pore Freshner

So I decided to put in a toner for my skin routine so after HOURS of researching in the ASIAN market I ended up buying this Wonder Pore Freshner (Toner) I forgot which size I got but I think its around 500 mL (I threw out the box cause I was cleaning up my room for new years huehue)





EXPERIENCE WITH IT:
I got it around November and I remember using it twice a day EVERY DAY (for about 2 weeks) and boy did it make my face OILIER that it already is! So I decided to tone it down a bit (Once a day) and it did not really help with my acne...so I toned it down more to using it every other day or two and I'm liking it so far...I can say that it did lessen my huge ass cystic breakouts by 25%



WHAT IT CLAIMS IT DOES: 
Deep cleanse pores - idk I didnt really get a huge dramatic change
Maintain pH 4.5 -/+ 1 - I guess it doesnt really match my pH since it didnt really do much for my skin (acne still gets worse, scars still the same)
Control a large amount of sebum- Im pretty sure it did the opposite for me!
Refine skin tones- nah
Keep elasticity of pores- idk what this means so Idk
Moisturize inside and outside of skin- nah. Its too much for my combination skin. I mean it would be moisturized but my face would get really shiny and oily (but Im still checking if its my facial cleanser)

SCENT: A very strong smell of alcohol. But it's a scent you'll get used to. 
VISCOSITY: It's literally like water.
APPLICATION: Pour enough to your cotton pad/ball (I use cotton balls) then gently cleanse your face with it (I APPLY THIS AFTER I WASHED MY FACE WITH MY FACE WASH). This is my "toner" and I have been using this for 2-3 months.

Ingredients in KOREAN so idk

Eskinol Papaya Smooth White Facial Deep Cleanser Review

I ADDED DALACIN C THUS PRODUCING A PINK COLOR

I have been using this product for the past two years and I LOVE IT!
For a few months I started using this as a make up remover  alone--then I realized it takes so much time for me to take off my make up with this by itself. So I only use it to remove the make up off of my neck and the remaining make up on my face after I cleanse it with my face wash

FOR  WHITENING: I did notice that it DID lighten up my skin a bit but there isn't that much difference since I am already kind of pale. but I do think that it DID lighten up my neck but then again I have been using it for YEARS...so Im not sure about as early as 1 week.

DOES IT HELP WITH ACNE (WITH DALACIN C): I haven't really noticed any drastic changes when it comes to my acne--still there. However, since I am suffering from cystic acne I guess this can't really do much for it. But if you have Mild-moderate acne (not necessarily severe) then go for it!

RENEW AND SMOOTHEN SKIN: Again, I have been using this for my neck so I am not sure about the face...I do recall that I did not notice "smoothening" on my face when I used it on my face for a while--MAYBE its for people who have minor acne. 

Instructions and Ingredients (IT DOES HAVE ALCOHOL!)

 AS FOR THE SCENT--it smells like PAPAYA (DUH) and there is a smell of alcohol!

I usually clean my neck/face while Im watching TV~

I use it with cotton balls and just rub it to my neck until there is no more residue on the cotton balls (I use up about 3-4 cotton balls both sides LOL I KNOW DAMN MY NECK BE SO DIRTY) 

UPDATE: FORGOT TO MENTION THAT THE COLOR IS ORIGINALLY CLEAR! I JUST ADDED DALACIN C THUS THE COLOR!

 RATING: 9/10

Skinfood: Rice Mask Wash Off Review

RICE MASK (100g)

Its ACTUAL size

I bought this rice mask a few months ago from eBay for around CAN $9.00  and I have been using it since then. (I have been using it once every 2 weeks or so) since I do have oily skin. I use it more often when my face gets really dry.

 

These are its ingredients and the instructions (SORRY IF IT'S BLURRY--hand's too shaky lol)  Idk if you can read it but THERE IS ALCOHOL--Cetyl Alcohol  I was quite surprised since it's skinFOOD? and mainly natural ingedients? Alcohol was the LEAST ingredient I expected...But then again, there are TONS of ingredients I cant even pronounce...I mainly got this because of its positive reviews I have read online.(and I wanted to try it out!)

 

Unfortunately, it does not come with a scoop/spoon to take out the content, so I found this little plastic spoon thingy and I just use it to scoop out the content whenever I use it since it is hygienic, rather than using my icky fingers! 

This is what it looks like! And the SMELL is kind of a LOTION SMELL/ SUNSCREEN? idk the scent reminds me of those, it did annoy me at first since I EXPECTED a lot from skinfood--ALL NATURAL STUFF. But  I have gotten used to it!

TEXTURE: you can feel the rice grains and it's nice

When you first scoop it out

After you spread it

Spread it even more (RICE GRAINS ARE PROMINENT!)

AFTER 15 MINS!

INSTRUCTIONS: You are supposed to have washed your face hence, it has to be clean (No make up, cream etc) You scoop out enough content for your WHOLE face. then you massage it evenly until you feel like the rice grains have kind off disappeared (I usually massage it for 5 mins) After that leave it on for about 15-20 minutes. Then rinse it off and PAT dry. 

It will leave your face smooth and shiny! It literally SHINES LOL! And GLOWS! (Probably because I have combination skin--leaning more on oily though)

WHAT IT HAS DONE FOR ME AFTER 2-3 MONTHS OF USAGE:
At first I would use it on a regular basis...but then I noticed everytime I use it I would get really tiny pimples! So I lessened my usage and only use it when I feel that my skin has gone under a lot of stress OR when it's really really dry! (Especially now that it's winter)

It is a nice moisturizer lol

And I do think there are better all natural wash offproducts out there.

RATING: 7/10
