innisfree Jeju volcanic blackhead out balm 30g

Worrying about my blackheads around my nose, I bumped into this product hoping for a miracle. (Lol) Well kidding a side, this one a actually a so-so product for me cause it actually worked the first time I used it, and actually lessens the blackheads around my nose.

This is actually a first or second step in my korean skin care routine depending if I wore a full faced make up or just a simple to bare faced one. Either way, if you are wearing a make up, I suggest to remove it first using a toner or a make up remover then apply this on the affected area and/or all throughout the face to exfoliate your face. If no make up at all, then put it right away (before cleaning your face with a facial foam or cleanser. Why? Because this one is one heck of a balm. You apply the product on your face as a balm scrub, to actually “melt” the black or whiteheads and let it go with the balm as you gently scrub your face. Leave it for a few minutes while gently massaging your face, and your nose specifically. Then wash it THOROUGHLY with water and a foam or cleanser as it feels oily and slippery since as I have said earlier.

For me, it worked in lessening the blackheads but not that much unless you are really eager and you use it every now and then, then I think it would be more of a help.

Overall - it is a must try if you don’t have a big problem with regards to blackheads and such. And it requires a non-lazy self so you can achieve good results. :)

Ps: cute and simple packaging tho! ++ it is also not that pricey so it’s a good try if ever.

I love this as prep before exfoliation, it helps soften the pores which makes it easier to extra black/white heads. Extraction after applying this balm almost requires no pressure at all when you're using one of those stainless steel tools. It's also great to use before you use a peel off mask!
