• PLEASE read first my DISCLAIMER PAGE for the liability of this post.Thank you☻ •

Claims to: Heal acne, blemishes and prevents future breakouts quickly.

The packaging looks like this.

Sealed in a ziplock thin pouch, like those used in sheet mask.
I immediately notice the "clinical skin care" label on the upper portion of the product name.
Sound interesting.

It only has one sheet with 24 patches in different sizes.

7mm x 10EA
10mm x 5EA
12mm x 9EA

Comes with a small sheet of paper where instructions are written

[INSTRUCTION:]

1.) Cleanse your face well specially the problem areas with acne and ensure the skin is dry when the acne patch is used.
2.)Peel open the plastic pouch and select a suitable sized patch which is able to cover the acne and place in centred on the acne opening.
3.)Once the colour changes from skin colour to white, it means that the oily secretion has been absorbed.
4.)The Acne patch should be replaced by a new one.

<I just copied what written, just in case your having problem reading it due to low quality of the picture,sorry for that.You can notice that the instruction were in British English, other words were in different spelling>

I followed the instruction and fasten patch on. What I like about this patch is that the color was really translucent. Almost not visible ☺A good point for me. Yeah!

What I do is I replace patch every morning after I take a bath, and at night also after I take a shower. I only place patch after I cleanse my face and toner, because I want squeaky clean face before I fasten the patch. LOL xD But I'd make sure that my skin is already dry before I put it on.

Here's a picture of the patch I've used.

I wear this from 8am to 6pm. You can see that the patch had become whitish in color and yellow at the center. It really absorbs the oil & pus. But the pimple still bumpy, but lesser compared before I put on the patch. So I continuously used it. It still get pus from my pimple. After 2 days, I consumed total of 4 patches and the pimple is already gone ☺ It only leaves red marks and not a hole which I'm really happy about. I'm using scar lightening skin care products so I don't worry so much as far it's not a hole.

Overall, with all of the patches I've used, this patch from COSRX gives me the most efficient result.
I highly recommend it for you to try ☻

• BONUS PART •
(some "getting to know me" story LOL)
I'm currently having problem with acne, but it's not that severe. They appear only one at a time and seldom come out many. Still, I'm kinda' alarmed because I don't have any pimples in my early years as a teen. As I turned 19 y.o. I notice a lot of changes in my face/body. Having pimples is one of it. Even though it's only few, I'm still worried because it leaves marks. I bet you know what I mean right? But I believe that everyone have a pimple- stage in their life (if it's even a term?LOL), most of my friends deals with pimple when we're in high school while I don't have any. But now?
hmmmm...I think it's my turn. :(
Now, I'm looking for remedies to my pimple, and prevent it from having a scar. If you have any suggestions please comment below. Thank you ☻

PROS:
1.) Absorbs deep pore sebum & pus.
2.) Helps to prevent pimple from having a scar.
3.) Useful as a cover to your pimple to stop your urge on picking it.

CONS:
1.) Pricey compared to other brands available on the market.
(but definitely more effective, in my opinion)
2.) Adhesiveness lessen a lot once placed and remove to adjust. So never do that. Be precised when placing the patch.

ETUDE HOUSE BLACK CHARCOAL CHIN PACK: REVIEW

• PLEASE read first my DISCLAIMER PAGE for the liability of this post.Thank you☻ •

Korean Cosmetics is very innovative. I'm sure you have heard about Korean face mask which is famous for their effectivity & instant results , this time it's for your CHIN :)

It is called Chin Pack, this product is formulated with black charcoal additives that claims to remove oil & pore deep sebum. Patch tightens pores & contains Aloe Vera to improve chin complexion.

Etude House never fails to have cute packaging, look at the cute animated girl on the cover.

The patch looks like this, I expect it to be white because the girl in the cover wears white patch LOL xD (blabbing non-sense again :P)

Instruction were written at the back

INSTRUCTIONS

• Wet chin with water, Remove clear film from pack and fasten adhesive side to chin for 10~15 minutes. Remove strips when dry.

I followed the instruction, note that I haven't put any skincare yet and fasten the pack to my chin.

After few minutes, I see black liquid droplets dripping off from the pack. Maybe my chin is too wet. But the pack dries up faster than I thought. I can feel it getting hard as it dries up. When I feel its completely dry, I peel it off. There is some residue left on my chin so I need to wash it off.

The result is not over the top obvious, but I really can tell that it removes sebum. It also smoothens my chin maybe because of the Aloe Vera properties.

Overall, the experience was good and the chin pack was fine... knowing that the price was just 1.83 USD for 4PCS. :) or maybe the result will be more noticeable with continuous use.

PROS:

1.) Cheap.

2.) Removes unwanted sebum.

3.)Improve chin complexion.

CONS:

1.) Not very effective on first use.

2.) Smells SOMEHOW similar to actual charcoal.

WOULD I BUY THIS AGAIN?

Maybe. When I feel like try this for a continuous use.

ETUDE HOUSE WONDER PORE FRESHENER/TONER 2016

BRAND: ETUDE HOUSE (korean brand)

PRODUCT NAME: WONDER PORE FRESHENER

PRODUCT CATEGORY: TONER

WHERE TO BUY:

ETUDE HOUSE WONDER PORE FRESHNER

This product is definitely a Korean Cult favorite, many bloggers have rave about it and also have a tons of positive feed backs. Now, I just want to share mine... :)

• PLEASE read first my DISCLAIMER PAGE for the liability of this post.Thank you☻ •

Starting off, Etude House is a well-known korean road shop brand. They have release so many famous cosmetic line, such as AC Clinic Line for oily/acne prone skin, Moistfull Collagen Line for dry skin, and Wonder Pore Line specialize on clearing & tightening pores which this product i'm reviewing is from and many more.

The packaging looks like this

Product comes in a plastic bottle, I got the 250ml size which have a flip top lid. They also have a pump bottle which is the 500ml size for easier dispensing.

It claims to be 10 in 1 product

10-in-1 Ultra pore solution

→ Balance skin's pH balance

→Refine skin tone

→Keep the elasticity of pores

→Remove skin surface's dead skin cells

→Cleanse pore inside with cooling effect

→Deep cleanse pores

→Minimize appearance of pores

→Control a large amount of sebum

→Moisturize inside & outside of skin.

→Complete smooth gloss-like texture.

How to Use:

After washing your face, Pour the product on a cotton pad,

amount of a coin size. Swipe onto face from inner to outer part of your face.

Overall, I think this Toner is a thumbs up, this not drastically minimize my pores but I notice it lessen the appearance. My pimples also became minimal plus I love how it doesn't dries up my skin like the usual drug store toner does. I love the cooling effect it gives my face whenever I apply it, I feel like it calms down my pimples. Oiliness of my face also lessen, I'm already halfway on finishing this toner, and I notice that my skin had become a bit shiny than it used to be :) But still, I think the label of 10-in-1 product is too much. I also got away making this a mist, I just transfer it into a mini spray bottle and carry it always in my pouch. I spray it whenever I feel like my skin needs to be waken up and prevents further oil build-up.

Korean beauty tips

KOREAN SKIN CARE ROUTINE (7-step / A STARTER GUIDE)

4:02:00 AM

"A more indepth breakdown of Korean Skin care, simplified for a starter."

• PLEASE read first my DISCLAIMER PAGE for the liability of this post.Thank you☻ •

Now, let's start... ☺

step-1

CLEANSING

- In korean skin care, Cleansing is the most crutial. Why?

because it is truly important to remove any dirt ,sebum and residue of make-up on your face specially at night before layering on your skin care products. This prevents any
further pimple problems also your pores will unclogged & breathe.

Cleansing is taken to a whole new level in Korean skin

care. They call it...

DOUBLE CLEANSING

-Compose of 2 type cleansing product, Oil/Balm cleanser, second is your usual Facial wash.

•Oil/Balm cleanser•

- it is good for removing make-up rather than using chemically strong make-up remover. Oil cleansers melts and lift your make-up easily because commonly, cosmetics are oil-based.

What's good with this oil/balm cleanser, it emulsify when mix with water which means it turns into white liquid and oily feel diminish. So, you don't have to worry if you have an Oily skin.

How to use: Scoop rightful amount, apply on face and rub in

circular motion. Rinse with lukewarm water.

Balm type -

Heimish All Clean Balm
(this Balm is very famous among korean beauty blogger)

Oil type -

Etude House Real Art Cleansing Oil

•Facial wash•

- it removes remaining residues from first cleansing step. Much better if its a deep cleanser.

Cosrx Low ph good morning gel cleanser-150ml

(From the famous brand COSRX - a brand which known for targeting problematic skin with quality & low cost products,)

~♥♥♥~

step-2

TONER

-this step prepare your skin for a better absorption of the rest of your remaining skin care products. Also it removes deep sitted dirt and claims to even your skin tone.

FACT: Based on my experience, Korean brand toners
are more mild & some almost have 0% alcohol compared to

drugstore brands available here in the Philippines or other western brands
but it still does the job.
Korean brand toners does not dries my skin & claims to

maintain skin Ph balance.

How to use: Take a cotton pad, pour amount of a coin size.

Swipe on face from inner to outer portion of your face.

COSRX Aha 7 Clarifying toner
(is an effective toner for your flaky skin caused by lack of moisture and occurring dead skin cell, helping with early prevention of whiteheads and blackheads)

Cosrx One Step Pimple Clear Pads

~♥♥♥~

step-3

CELL ESSENCE / SKIN

-this is a watery type of product that claims to give more elasticity to skin, smooths and prevents aging. It works deep inside the skin. This type of product doesn't give instant results, effect will be noticed after long term of use.

How to use: Take a cotton pad, dispense enough amount to cover the whole face. Swipe on face from inner to outer portion. Some prefer to just pour the product on the palm of their hand, and press onto face. Tap the remaining product until absorbs.

Missha Time Revolution First Treatment essence

(Missha Time Revolution First Treatment essence miracle water essence contains 80% Fermented Yeast Concentrate (saccharomyces ferment filtrate), which absorbs into skin instantly, repairing and nourishing on cellular level.)

~♥♥♥~

step-4

SERUM/ EMULSION / LOTION / AMPOULE

- This step addresses specific skin need. There are many variations available on the market. Such as brightening , pore-tightening, anti-aging and balancing(for combination skin type)

This three types of products usually have same results, you can use just one of the three with specific variation of your skin needs. But some Korean loves layering all this products for a more intense skin care routine.

How to use: Spread on your face and tap onto skin for

better absorption.

Serum -

Innisfree the Green Tea Seed Serum 80ml

(Serum has small molecules that allows it to penetrate more deeply on skin. It's consistency is between essence and cream.

BONUS PART
Thank you for reading up to the last part, here is a token of gratitude for you guys ☺

KOREAN BEAUTY TIPS:

1.) Apply skin care product in the order of WATERY TO

THICKER CONSISTENCY. This is the key to korean beauty

because a more thicker product seals in the watery ones so

that skin absorbs it more and prevents it to evaporate.

2.)Remember to allot few minutes between each step to

make sure that you are NOT just mixing up all products in each step,

make sure that each product is well absorbs by your skin.

3.) If you are using exfoliating products make sure to use

sunblock. Exfoliating your skin can make it prone to have dark spots when expose to sunlight.

4.)Koreans normally use sheet mask at least once a week.

5.)Most important is monitoring the food you eat. Skin is the

reflection of one's well-being :)

Acne patch

REVIEW: BENCH CLEARPORE ACNEDOT

1:45:00 AM

• PLEASE read first my DISCLAIMER PAGE for the liability of this post.Thank you☻ •

What is an acne patch?

Acne patches are adhesive dots that claim to absorb bacteria, pus and reduce pimple
size.

Sounds promising eh?☺

In some reasons, Acne patches are not really known here in the Philipines unlike in other

country. Maybe because acne patches aren't well commercialize here. But this product

thought me some reason why... :)

When I was scanning though Bench (Waltermart North Edsa), I saw this item on the

counter area. We all know that Bench is a clothing line, I'm a little surprise that they have

this kind of product, which makes it interesting. I've told myself I need to get one of these☻

The price is very cheap, I forgot the exact price but I think it's around Php17.00 to

Php22.00. (not almost a USD).

The packaging looks like this

It comes in 8 patches

Instructions were written at the back, I listed it down in case you're having a problem reading it because of the quality of the picture

[ INSTRUCTIONS]

1.)After washing the face, allow the skin to dry thoroughly (at least 5 minutes)
2.)With dry hands, peel off the patch, and place directly on the acne.
3.)To place the patch, peel off the patch, an place directly on the acne.
4.)Leave overnight and remove in the morning.

I followed the instruction and put on the patches. The first thing I notice is the texture. It seems like a normal band aid or plaster, which really disappoints me. I expect it to be

a little bit in Silicone-like texture, because like other acne patches it suppose to absorb pus from your acne,
How would it be able to absorb pus with that texture? The patch were stiff

than the usual acne patch I've used.

Clouded translucent is the usual color of an acne patch that I have encounter (was it

even a color tho? LOL). Unlike this one, the Bench Clearpore Acnedot color was tannish

brown. Another thing that I don't like with this product. It is very obvious that you have it

on. You can't wear this under make-up, which I usually do, to avoid chemicals to clog

popped acne.

Bench Clearpore Acnedot VS Other Brand Acne Patch

BENCH CLEARPORE ACNEDOT

OTHER BRAND

(sorry this picture is taken on different day, but you can still compare the color)

So, I wore it overnight, like with what I do on other patches. The next morning, as I have

expected. It does not absorb the pus because of the sniff texture of it. Also nothing is

change with my pimple. Bump & redness was still there. It just create a moist under the

patch.

Personally, I use patches (other brand) ONLY when the pimple already have pus & I have

popped. That way it will absorb the pus and the next morning, bump & redness will

reduce. It will also prevent it from having a scar.

Some people put it on without popping their pimple, it may not absorb the pus but it

should lessen the bump, swelling, and helps to calm pimple down.

But so far, with all the Acne patch I've used,It does not drastically absorbs pus when

pimple pore is closed, unlike what it claims to do. So, I prefer popping it before placing

the patch.

(plus I can't resist pus just sitting on my face. I feel like I have to pop it xD)

I don't experience this with Bench Clearpore Acne Patch. It does nothing to help my

pimples. Other brands I have tried was way better.

PROS:

1) CHEAP

2) Useful as a cover to your pimple to stop your urge on picking it.

CONS:

1) Does nothing on pimples.

2) Create moist.

3)Color does not match my skin tone.

HELPFUL QUESTIONS:

Would I buy this again?

No :(
