To get those unnoticeable , pristine clean pores, Peach & Lilly, along with the Korean beauty brand Caolion, teamed up to create a set that is supposed to do just that: Freshly Chitosan Foam Cleanser, Blackhead Bubble Pore Pack, Pore Original Pack, and the Pore Tightening Memory Sleeping Mask.
Now, according to their product page and PR e-mails I exchanged, you're supposed to use all of these products right after the other, in the order I stated them above and below; you will find my reviews of each product of from the * Perfect Pore Kit:
Freshly Chitosan Foam Cleanser: The bottle looks cool, the cleanser stripped the hell out of my skin, which is why I don't use foam cleansers in the first place; they are very drying and strip the skin of its natural oils. Now, while I don't recommend using foam cleansers in general, if you have oily skin, this may actually work for you. I'm not really getting any kind of scent to this, so if you have oily skin with sensitivities, this may actually work in your favor.
Blackhead Bubble Pore Pack: What an unusual product, definitely have never used a product like this in my routines before! It literally does what it saids: it bubbles...but the bubbles, oh wow, it feels so weird. I had a bit of anxiety at first when I felt my whole face start to bubble up with this pack on but upon washing it off, came great relief and joy for my skin. The skin was left soft and clean, not stripped-clean, like all-the gunk-came-out-of-my-face-right-there clean! It was refreshing.
Pore Original Pack: I don't know what the heck I did wrong or where this product went wrong, but about a minute after I put it on, my face was burning, badly. The directions say to keep it on for 10-15 minutes, I don't think I lasted 3! It smells straight-up of clay and menthol (which I'm assuming was the burning-face culprit) and it looks like a clay mask; but never again is that going on my face. After I had taken it off from the 3 trying minutes, my face was red and sore...I was cringing to try the last step...
Pore Tightening Memory Sleeping Mask: What a relief! Now this smells of straight up menthol, not my favorite, very strong and the smell doesn't really go away. The upside, this gave my red face much relief, almost instantly, and cooled everything down. It's a bouncy-sleeping mask: meaning it reverts back to its originally form moments after you scoop some out to apply it to your face...not going to lie, definitely played around sicking the little spatula in and out just to see the magic work! A little goes a long way with this one.
Alright so, 2 out of 4 isn't so bad; yes, I would probably have enjoyed this more if all the products worked, but I still see results with just using 2 of the 4. I can do without the Foaming Cleanser and definitely do without the Pore Original Pack; but the Blackhead Bubble Pore Pack and the Pore Tightening Memory Sleeping Mask were fun and honestly, worked really well on my skin. I have continued to use those 2 products together in my nightly routines, and notice that my pores have developed less blackheads and appear more clean and have appeared to be less 'large-and-in-charge' and more 'imma keep to myself'.
