Pore Cleansing Thermo-Gel Holika Holika Pig-Nose Clear Black Head Steam Starter

Let me tell you the secret to using this gel, which will make you give it 5 stars. It's not in the instructions, unfortunately.

I use it for mechanical facial cleansing, which I do every 2-3 weeks. I do it in the same way that cosmetologists do it in salons.

My skin is normal with a slightly oily T-zone. I have the most blackheads on my nose.

1. We wash our face, as is appropriate in the Korean system (makeup removal, cleanser).
2. After the cleanser, we apply the gel to problem areas.
3. We cover it all with plastic wrap. Creating a greenhouse effect. We wait for 5-10 minutes.
The pores become very noticeably enlarged. We rinse off the gel.
4. Then we work with a fake Uno. Personally, I ordered mine here for 70 UAH, with a loop and a spoon (I only use the loop). The result is excellent. The gel opens up the pores very well, especially after the plastic wrap. There is no need to rub or massage.
During the cleansing process, you will see what comes out of your skin and realize that no gels can simply remove them.
5. After that, we cleanse the skin again.
6. We use products that tighten the pores. Personally, I chose Scinic Mint Paste and Toner from the same line. Although it is more suitable for oily skin, it works great after cleansing. You can also cover the mint paste with plastic wrap and then remove it with the included massage brush.

I highly recommend following this routine.
With this method, you won't need any other peeling products.

I didn't feel any steaming effect, it barely lasts for 3 seconds.
There is no effect at all.
I didn't expect this from Holika.
The nose strips from the same series are very effective, but this gel is useless.

I used it with the scrub from the same series. I tried applying it in different ways, but it didn't have any effect at all :((( I don't recommend buying it, it's better to spend your money on something else.

The gel warms up the skin literally from the first second of application, that's it. I tried applying it in different ways, in multiple layers, with massage movements, and so on, but it was no use. It doesn't do anything for the pores, of course. It's a pity that I wasted my money on it.

It's not worth wasting your time and money on this. Absolutely no effect at all.

A waste of money and time, this item is completely useless.

The warming effect lasts for 0.5 minutes.

I used this product in conjunction with the sugar scrub from the same series. However, unlike the scrub, I didn't notice any effect at all. Yes, it does heat up, but that's where it ends. I thought that after massaging it into my T-zone for 3 minutes, it would make it easier to remove blackheads. But, unfortunately, in my case, this product did not become a helpful addition to the working scrub.

Absolutely no, gave it to a friend.

It warms up, if used incorrectly - apply a thick layer, wait five minutes, massage for a minute, rinse off. However, it only barely "dissolves" the blackheads, regardless. Perhaps, if they were larger and thicker, the effect would be more noticeable, but if the pores are slightly clogged, the difference before and after using this product is practically unnoticeable.
