Innisfree - Jeju Volcanic Black Head Out Balm - 30g/1.01oz

It works. Will have to use as maintenance, especially in T-zone area. First time I used it, this balm did remove most of my blackheads. The rest of my stubborn blackheads will benefit from continued use as this balm works layer by layer into the pores. I used pure witch hazel (no alcohol) on several round cotton pads to wipe away the applied balm and I could see the blackheads on the cotton pad. Gross, but good that junk was no longer in my pores. Skin is soft and smooth after removal. The smell of this balm is sort of like a light chalky scent and certainly not an issue. The texture is like a slick, non-sticky lip balm and this product is gentle on skin. I can foresee this balm helping to reduce the size of my pores because it is effective and gentle in getting the gunk out of them. I dislike using pore strips because they pull on the skin. Metal pore scraper tools hurt, are messy, and make my skin red for hours. Facial brushes (battery operated) are too rough and high maintenance to use, and expensive. Those methods are too aggressive on skin. I plan on using this balm several times a week from now on. Innisfree's website has English instructions on how to use this product which is so simple and non-messy to use compared to other methods of blackhead removal. The shipping was fast and the product arrived in a plastic bubble wrap envelope in it's original box. Very satisfied with the product and the seller. In fact, all of Innisfree products I have used have been to my satisfaction, and my skin likes them too.

This was a bit of an impulse buy for me. I love Innisfree's moisturizer and I have some problems with blackheads on my chin and nose so why not give it a try. I thought it wasn't going to work but it does. It looks like a huge lip balm when you open it so it looks like it would make face issues worse but as you rub it in the blackheads just come right out. You rub and you can see the blackheads on your fingers when you pull them away. This stuff is awesome. A little bit goes a very long way too. It will probably last forever.

I personally did not see a huge difference in blackhead removal. I don't have a huge problem with blackheads, just a few on the sides of my nose, this didn't do much at all for me. I used it a few times a week for three weeks and noticed just a slight difference. It didn't cause me to breakout or anything like that, so I will keep using it until it is gone and will update mt review if things improve. A little goes a LONG way and it will last for quite a while which is a plus.

I haven't seen any differences since beginning to use this product, but I haven't been using it for a long, long time, so I'm holding out hope that it isn't a dud. It has a nice texture, a thin balm, not greasy, no strong smell, barely a scent at all. I'm giving 3 stars only because I've seen no changes as of yet. Will update if changes happen.

Its an okay gentle exfoliator but doesnt magically pull out blackheads. Ive tried all the recommended methods but only ever got dead skin exfoliation. All my blackheads were firmly in place after each use and I used it consistently once or twice a week until it ran out

Put goop on blackheads. Massage into nose, chin, etc., for several minutes, thoroughly wash off. Blackheads 100% remain. Maybe they are a bit easy to squeeze afterwards, but isn't the point not to do such damaging things?Nice packaging, I'm definitely enjoying sampling Korean beauty products, but sadly an "F" for results on this one.

My pores did shrink a bit, but I think mine are too far gone for a great result (due to age and how long I've had large pores), FYI: It does wonders for getting the glue off my nose after I've used breathe right strips at night.

Follow the directions. I don't know how it works but it does!

Love this stuff, it's really cool. There isn't much English on the packaging but I did some googling and I found out how to use this, thought I'd share it with everyone.You massage this onto your face where there are blackheads for 3-5 minutes (i like to let it sit for an additional 5 minutes after massaging it in)Then you wash your face as normal.ALWAYS do this before you wash your face.

Este producto es realmente bueno, apenas lo he usado un par de veces pero he visto buenos resultados, mi problemas está en la nariz y últimamente ha empeorado un poco por eso compré este artículo. Cuando vi que era una vil pomada me decepcioné un poco pero sí ha funcionado, yo froto mi nariz y barbilla durante cinco minutos constantes y después limpió con una toalla caliente y queda muy limpia, no es que haya ya eliminado por completo, apenas llevo dos aplicaciones, lo uso cada tercer día, lo único que si me falta es algo para afinar los poros, tengo un producto por ahí de marikay que es el que estoy usando ahorita para complementar el tratamiento y ha mejorado, espero que conforme pase el tiempo siga mejorando hasta ya no tener este horrible problema de puntos negros.

Doesn't do anything.. and smells awful

El modo de aplicación es el siguiente: debes frotar con el bálsamo la zona donde tengas los puntos negros por 3-5 minutos. A pesar de que sí remueve los puntos negros, el efecto no es duradero pues uno o dos días después se pueden ver de nuevo. Sé que los puntos negros son difíciles de quitar por completo, pues se trata de sebo oxidado, pero este producto no hace más que quitar lo oxidado que tienes en el momento y no ayuda con la producción de sebo (y en la página de innisfree dice que sí limpia los poros). No lo volvería a comprar.

I don't just use it for all over my nose. Sometimes I would put it on my tzone area because I think it helps with oily skin. It smooths out my skin after I was it off.
