Cleansing Charcoal Kit Holika Holika Pig-Clear Blackhead 3-Step Kit

I followed all the instructions, but there was absolutely no effect.

Is this a joke or what? After removing the second strip, my entire nose was covered in a mixture of black paint and glue. After such "cleansing," I'll have to wash myself for a long time.

I purchased 2 sets at once and tried them on both myself and my partner. It's important to carefully read the instructions. The first step is to be used on steamed skin, meaning after a shower. I must say, I am impressed with it - it's the best thing in this set as it effectively prepares the pores and I've never come across such a product before. The blackheads just come out on their own when you remove the strip.

Step 2 is just a regular strip for extracting blackheads, there's nothing special about it. Step 3, on the other hand, deserves some respect as it mattifies, tightens pores, and soothes the skin. Thanks to this third step, there are no redness or dryness after the procedure.

Overall, I highly recommend this set specifically, rather than just buying individual blackhead strips, at least because of the amazing first product.

Do not expect immediate results from this product.

I managed to remove around 30% of blackheads. Overall, it's a decent product. However, I believe it should be used at least once a week to achieve optimal results.

I tried the mask for the first time. Actually, it's a really good mask. It does a decent job of removing blackheads. It doesn't dry out the skin too much.

In addition to the previous comment (yes, let me have two, the product is undeservedly hated);

The instruction is written in a very small font, but everything in it needs to be taken into account.

Firstly, it's a bit painful, but you need to steam your face. Sit in a hot bath or steam your face with any other method.

Before that, it is important to thoroughly cleanse your face after the day (I used makeup remover gel and micellar water).

Secondly, it is essential to consider that the skin should be completely dry during the first step and moist during the second step (not wet, but specifically moist: I dampened my face and gently pressed a towel against it, almost using the tips of the fibers). And within just 5 minutes, the patch completely dried out. Perhaps that's why the second step didn't work for some people.

Overall, I hope this comment will be useful to someone.

I don't know why some people had a "bad experience" with the second step. Either they didn't read how to apply it correctly or they don't understand that you can't clean ALL pores in one go. It's impossible to do it all at once. I tried it, and it works perfectly, cleanses at a 10/10 level, much better than other one-step patches for removal. I am incredibly satisfied and will order more.

It didn't work - on step 2, the strip didn't dry completely even though I held it for 25 minutes. There were no blackheads left on the strip. However, after using it, my skin feels very pleasant to the touch.

I had no luck with this product, so I wouldn't recommend it.
