Pore Cleansing Thermo-Gel Holika Holika Pig-Nose Clear Black Head Steam Starter

Let me tell you a secret about using this gel that will make you give it a 5-star rating. It's not mentioned in the instructions, which is a shame.

I use it for mechanical face cleansing, which I do every 2-3 weeks. I follow the same principle as estheticians in salons.

I have normal skin with a slightly oily T-zone. I have the most blackheads on my nose.

1. We cleanse our face according to the Korean system (makeup removal, foam cleanser).

2. After the foam cleanser, we apply the gel to problem areas.

3. We cover it all with cling film to create a greenhouse effect. We wait for 5-10 minutes.

The pores visibly expand. We rinse off the gel.

4. Then we work with the false Uno. I personally ordered mine here for 70 UAH, with a loop and a spoon (I only use the loop). The result is excellent. The gel opens up the pores very well, especially after the film. There's no need to scrub or massage.

During the cleansing process, you will see what comes out of your skin and understand that no ordinary gels can remove them.

5. After that, we cleanse the skin once again.

6. We use products that tighten the pores. Personally, I chose the Scinic Mint Paste and Toner from the same line. Although it's more suitable for oily skin, it works great after cleansing. You can also cover the mint paste with cling film, then remove it with the included massage brush.

I highly recommend following this routine.

With this method, you won't need any other peeling products with pig elements.

I didn't feel any steaming effect, it barely lasts for 3 seconds. I also didn't experience any effect. I didn't expect this from Holika. The nose strips from the same series are very effective, but this gel is useless.

I used it with the scrub from the same series. I tried applying it in different ways, but it had absolutely no effect :((( I do not recommend buying it, it's better to spend your money on something else.

The gel warms up the skin literally the first second after application and that's it. I tried applying it in different ways, in a couple of layers, with massage movements, and so on, but it didn't make any difference. It naturally doesn't do anything for the pores. It's a pity, money wasted.

It's not worth wasting your time and money on this. It has absolutely no effect.

A waste of money and time, this item is utterly useless.

The warming effect lasts for 0.5 minutes.

I used this product in combination with the sugar scrub from the same series. However, unlike the scrub, I didn't notice any effect from it at all. Yes, it warms up, but that's about it. I thought that after massaging it into my T-zone for 3 minutes, blackheads would be easier to remove. But, unfortunately, in my case, this product didn't complement the working scrub.

Absolutely no, gave it to a friend.

It warms up if used not according to the instructions - apply a thick layer, wait for five minutes, massage for a minute, rinse. However, it barely "dissolves" the blackheads themselves, in any case. Perhaps if they were larger and thicker, the effect would be more visible, and if the pores were slightly clogged, the difference before and after using this product is practically unnoticeable.
