Elizavecca Milky Piggy Hell Pore Clean Up Mask 100ml/3.38 fl.oz. - Peel Off Mask, Charcoal Pore Strips, Pore Cleansing, Removes Dead Skin Cells, Removes Skin wastes, Pore Contraction

I absolutely love this! Was a bit skeptical at first, it felt like it was going to be too easy to peel it off, which meant it didn’t grip anything. Nope! I could feel how it was taking all the gunk with it as I was pulling it. I only did my nose, because the packaging says that’s what it’s for. And seeing so many YouTube videos of people spreading this all over their face? Yeah… Don’t do that. It WILL hurt and you’ll hate it. It’s meant for your nose area. Plus, it’ll last you longer if you don’t use a fourth of the tube on your face.Clean pores, that’s for sure!Application was a bit messy. But not horrible, and washing off the excess from my finger after spreading it didn’t take long.I will say, the scent is STRONG. So, some people may not like it. It’s not a bad smell, just potent.I like to use pore strips, but the brand I use is way too expensive now, and doesn’t always adhere well to the sides of my nostrils. This gets everything. I’ll definitely be ordering more when I’m running low.Wash and dry your face, then spread an even layer and let dry. Took about 10 minutes.

I use this face mask once a week as a part of my mechanical exfoliant of my skin care. I really love this peel off mask compared to Freeman cucumber peel off mask, the egg white peel off mask, Freeman pomegranate peel off mask. Like all the other mask this has a chemical smell and can sometimes have the alcohol feeling if you put it to close to your eyes. Most peel off masks do not feel like they are gripping to your skin to pull out impurities, however, this one clings to my skin and can be a bit painful at times. Since it really clings to your skin you know it is doing a great job of extracting dirt from your pores. I usually hold a hot water soaked wash cloth to my face to open up my pores and then I wash my face with a foaming cleanser. I will pat my face dry with a face towel. After my pores are opened and clean I will then use the peel off mask and massage it into my skin and I apply a thin layer of the mask on. I have applied a thick layer of the mask before and it didn't do as well of a job on adhering to my skin. I prefer to feel tugging on my skin rather than no pain bc I feel like the mask is doing a better job. The layer should be thin enough to see a bit of your skin color, but not so thin the mask it almost transparent. Then wait however long it takes to dry and have fun peeling!! A good reference would be Tati's youtube video on this peel off mask. This mask honestly did not feel as painful as she makes it seem, but I mean even still beauty is pain.

Okay, so to start off, I'll explain that I always exfoliate and use warm water before using one of these things so that the mask has better access to my pores.I've used both this and one of those other peel masks (won't name which brand). This has less in the way of harmful ingredients that I would be concerned about putting in my skin, as it's free of such things as parabens, and the few ingredients that I would be concerned about (like aluminum) are very very low down the ingredient list, usually indicating there isn't a whole lot of it in there. This has titanium dioxide in it which is what makes it the lighter color despite also being charcoal based. I'm wondering if this also helps with the drying time because this dries down much faster than the black mask.Going on, this is easier to spread and less messy on the fingers, but the scent burned my eyes and after a few minutes burned on my skin before calming down, which isn't all that surprising, considering the very astringent (a bit like rubbing alchohol, it does list alchohol as an ingredient) smell it has, after a minute or two I stopped feeling it except the tight drying feeling it gets. The other mask is almost like tar spreading on, and almost smells as bad as tar, but it feels cold and gets colder (almost uncomfortably so to be honest) and doesn't burn my eyes.Now, as far as results go, I expected them to be about the same, but actually, the hell pore mask, while harder to get a grip on the edge, peeled much more nicely and HURT MUCH LESS than the other mask. For everyone saying how much this hurts it honestly doesn't. Both masks leave your skin feeling soft to the touch, but the hell pore mask actually seemed to pull more actual gunk out of my skin (it's hard to see due to the color and texture of the mask though which is somehow less satisfying lol) and largely left all but the finest of fine little hairs. The other mask rips out WAAAAAAAAY more hairs (ouch, feels like waxing honestly) but I generally didn't see that it pulled out many blackheads (but they are much more visible on the black, as is the dead skin)So overall I enjoyed the results of hell pore more,But there was one major drawback.There seem to be more botanical extract ingredients in hell pore, and something in there irritated the hell (no pun intended) out of my skin. It doesn't look red or splotchy, but if you have a sensitivity to benzoyl peroxide, you probably understand what my skin feels like right now, which is just kind of hot, inflamed and a bit itchy/burnyNow, I used to use that type of acne treatment, so I'm no stranger to putting up with the irritation.That said, I will probably use this very sparingly if at all. I'm not sure the irritation to my skin is worth the payout. We'll see in a few days whether it results in a breakout due to over sensitizing my skin.I don't recommend this for people with botanical allergies or sensitive skin. If you have sensitive skin, I recommend trying the gudetama peeling mask that's sold here on amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Holika-Gudetama-Smooth-Peeling-140ml/dp/B01IH6CD2Q It smells nice, feels nice, doesn't burn or hurt, and doesn't have any negative side effects for me personally, and works really nice at just rolling the dead skin off and softening. Doesn't do much for blackheads, but it does help clear out some gunk.EDIT: scratch that, I actually went back to look at myself in the mirror and I now have a rash on my face, ONLY ON THE AREAS I USED THE MASK (I did not use it on my whole face, nose upper cheeks t zone and chin) see pictures, my face is usually closer to the color of my neck. And I have little raised bumps now (Not talking about my blemishes, which are obvious since they are scabbed) images taken in two lightings to show the color
