TONYMOLY Tako Pore Blackhead Remover Scrub Stick Charcoal & Dead Sea Salt Exfoliator for Blackheads, Whiteheads, Pore Cleansing & Oil Control, 0.8 oz

Ok, hear me out, I literally finished using this product and ran to make a review, this is the first time I've done this! Sorry if there are grammatical mistakes, English is not my first language!First of all you have to use the product for around 3 minutes with some force in your skin so the texture you need shows up which are like little grains of salt stuck in it, I've always struggled with white heads in my chin and nose, the chin ones have always been a headache, I tend to rub them out with my face soap and my fingers to clean them out but it's never enough, I got this product to see if it could help since I saw it was an exfoliator basically and I've tried some kind of brushes before that didn't work.Anyways, this worked perfectly! It left my chin extremely smooth and I can't even see a single white head on it anymore, after using it I cleaned my face again with my soap and continued my skin care with my serums and moisturizer and my skin feels soooo soft. The texture does feel a little rough and CAN hurt a bit if you're too rough but I honestly appreciate the roughness, it took all that gunk out effortlessly!The package is also super super cute! I love the little octopus, the smell is a little weird, it's like herbal I guess? Salty? Oceany? Idk lol but it's not bad and it doesn't stay on the skin afterwards. Sorry for the super long review but I honestly 100% recommend giving it a chance if you're struggling with white heads like me, I've never had black heads so I don't know if this works for that but honestly after seeing how it took care of my white heads/prominent sebaceous filaments? I can say it could work perfectly for black heads as well!

Hmm I just used this for the first time and not sure how well it is going to work. My skin did feel tighter, but not sure it got any whiteheads or blackheads out of my nose area. I’ll keep using and let you know how it goes.

Didn't believe this could work but it does. It is kind of strong so don't do it too often but it literally made my pores disappear. I've read other reviews that it goes quickly I just use it on my nose and rub it on hard then put the cap back on I'm not sure if it's supposed to be cleaned off but I don't it works great

Scrubs the nose great. But be gentle it can be a bit abrasive. It can leave a residue when you wash it off which I didn't like.

Oh my gosh! I love this product. It worked wonders for me. I'm the typical man with big pores that I've neglected. I tried it once and saw a big difference already. Definitely on my auto-order list. Highly recommend it.

I am a big fan of TonyMoly lip stains, and so while looking for something in the way of a cleanser, serum or mask to deep clean my pores, I ran into this cute little Tako product. The reviews were so overwhelmingly positive, and focused on blackhead removal that it seemed this product was a sure thing.Not so for me. While cute, this little tako (and I emphasize, it is tiny, keychain-sized) did not magically pull out blackheads, nor did it do anything at all about the one stubborn whitehead (comedone) near my nose (how could it? Beware of products that claim to 'scrub' or pull away whiteheads, which are cystic. A whitehead is not the same as a pimple that has come to a head; it is too far buried under layers of cells to be affected in any way by topical products).Sadly, this product, which is basically very rough salt in a stick form, could not be expected to perform the miracles I read about. At best, as a (very harsh) exfoliator, it removed oily residue and surface dirt, cleaning just a bit from the tops of my pores. I expect that younger, more hormonal customers may experience temporary breakouts with this type of exfoliant; it is so rough that it might, with frequent use, continually stimulate more oil to rise to the surface of the skin.A big concern I have with very rough exfoliant products, containing coarse salt (as well as sometimes pieces of apricot kernel or walnut shell--beware these products!) is that the exfoliating agent very well might widen the opening of pores, even tearing the skin open at a level that might not at first seem evident, but soon enough, pores treated this way enlarge and coarsen. Had I understood that the salt was this coarse, I would not have purchased it. The only safe exfoliant I have found is made of very fine grains of salt, (usually combined with salycic acid or glycolic acid) that melt away while working on cleaning the pores. I have never found an OTC product that magically deep cleansed then tightened the pores to appear much smaller. That second step needs a sophisticated astringent, usually formulated by a cosmetic dermatologist, which is where I will turn for my next facial products.

I do not often get white heads, and so I was VERY UPSET when I got one recently. My mother said the only way to remove them was to dig them out with a pin, but I'm absolutely not doing that. After desperately searching the internet for a cure, I came upon this cute little guy.And it works! I used it 2-3 times a week for two weeks. (I have very sensitive skin, so I wanted to tread carefully.) I noticed improvement after the third or fourth use, and when I went to use it again today (two weeks and two days after beginning my regimen) I realized I didn't have to, because it is completely gone. I'm so happy.

I really wanted to like this scrub stick, but honestly, I don't see what it does. I didn't notice any difference in my blackheads or skin texture. The product feels gentle, but it didn't deliver the results I was hoping for. I expected something more effective. Maybe it works for others, but it just didn't do much for me.
