REVIEW: OGCE BLACKHEADS ALL CLEAR NOSE PACK FULL SET

Blackheads and enlarged pores are a major concern of my face (actually it's more of a concern on hubby's face, because since using the Clarisonic Mia2, I have had less blackheads stuck to my nose!), so I recently purchased the Memebox Superbox #13: Pore Care, so I'll be posting a lot on pore care from now on!!

One of the products I received in my Pore Care Superbox is the O'GCE Blackheads All Clear Nose Pack + Pore Tightener Full Set, retailing at a price of USD11 at the Memeshop. It is a two-step system that is designed to remove existing blackheads and whiteheads around your nose, as well as tightening up the pores to control oil product and prevent the formation of new blackheads and whiteheads.

I like how it's a two step product, so after opening up the pores and extracting the blackheads, it also comes with a serum to apply afterwards to help shrink the pores (other products on the market only come with the pore strip, but doesn't teach us how to shrink the pores afterwards!). But like other pore strips, it can be quite a painful experience when peeling off the strip off your nose!!

Inside The Box:

7 x Charcoal Pore Strip

7 x Pore Tightening Serum

How To Use:

Use on a cleansed face.

Wet nose. Remove the pore strip from the plastic film and stick onto your nose.

I wasn't very pleased when I applied the pore strip, as there were no slits in the strip unlike the ones from Bioré, and the strip had a very overwhelming charcoal/smokey smell!!!

Remove the pore strip after 10 minutes or until it becomes completely dry, starting from the ends. Yes, it was quite painful, but the results were quite good!!

Rinse your nose with lukewarm water, and apply the pore tightening serum. 

The pore tightening serum comes in a cute syringe-shaped packet, smells really nice of honey and the camellia flower, but it feels SUPER STICKY (even stickier than glue)!! After 5 minutes after application, the serum dried on my nose, and it even felt like dried glue on my face - considering how sticky it was and how it dried up on my nose, I actually thought they gave me glue instead of serum!!!

(Please note that the instructions on the Memebox Information Card stop here, but there is actually more to it!!!)

I really wanted to leave it like this, because the glue-like-serum tightened my pores, and my pores were no longer visible anymore, but it was so tight that it felt really uncomfortable on my nose, and it was so uncomfortable that I couldn't help peeling the "glue" off my nose...

It obviously didn't feel right, so I did my own research, and apparently, after 5-8 minutes after application, you are supposed to wash it off. If you leave it on for too long, your nose will become slightly red and irritated.

So, if I had followed the instructions on the Info Card, I would have had to sleep with the glue-like-serum on my nose ~ eww!!!

Repurchase?

It was quite a good product, but I think I'd use the rest of the pack on hubby, as he has more blackheads on his nose that can be extracted easily using pore strips (he accepts this method more than using the blackhead extracting stick anyway)!! We would probably repurchase :)

MEMEBOX SUPERBOX #13 UNBOXING

I received my third box from MEMEBOX...

MEMEBOX SUPERBOX #13: Pore Care!!!

I need to clarify that blackheads are not really much of a concern to me ever since using the Clarisonic Mia2, but it's the enlarged pores that make me want to try all the products on the market to help make them smaller!!! Hubby, on the other hand, has a lot of blackheads and enlarged pores too, so I'll be testing most of the products on him too!!!

I will be posting a more detailed review on the items in this box later!

But for now, thank you for watching, and if you have any questions, please feel free to comment below! Have a nice day!!

BEST HYDRATING PRODUCT EVER!!!

Summer is nearly here, and it's really humid and hot outside, and what everyone wants to do is to sit under the air-conditioner all day long, but prolonged stay under the air-conditioner will dry the skin......so here I am to present you with the solution to this:

DOCTORCOS AMINO ACID HYBRID SHEET FREE MASK ADVANCED (version 1)

The Doctorcos Mask is an innovative water-enriched facial treatment that boosts skin's moisture levels by 98.19%, and results can last for more than 24 hours! The moist veil technology restores skin's elasticity and smoothness to give it a velvety, even-textured complexion, and skin instantly appears to be brighter and whiter with weekly use.

Ingredients:

• Amino acids: easily absorbed through the dermal layers, accelerate cell metabolism, enhancing skin's ability to retain moisture
• Hyaluronic Acid: a renowned moisturizing ingredient that efficiently moisturises skin for over 24 hours
• Epidermal growth factor EGF: promotes repair of epidermal tissues, locking in moisture and promoting skin cell regeneration
• Water-soluble vitamins B3: minimise free radical damage and whiten skin by inhibiting formation of melanin
• Royal jelly: a rich blend of proteins that nourish skin and reverse signs of aging like wrinkles and dark spots

You can use the Doctorcos Mask as a...

• Cream: massage onto the face and neck with warm hands to enhance penetration of the ingredients
• Makeup Primer: before applying makeup, spread a thin layer onto the face to allow makeup to adhere to skin better
• Mix with BB Cream/Foundation: blend mask with 4 parts BB cream or 2.5 parts liquid foundation to avoid the cakey look and keep the foundation looking fresh all day
• Sleeping (Overnight) Mask: apply a 2-3mm thick layer onto your face and massage gently, then leave onto your face during the night

This is my favourite product for hydration, and it's really awesome - I have really seen my skin improved after using this product, so I would definitely recommend it to others!!! The only thing I would slightly complain about is that it does not come with a spatula, so it does feel slightly unhygienic to dig my fingers into the pot to get the cream, but other than that, it's AWESOME!!!

Hope you enjoyed watching the video and reading my post, and if you have any questions, please comment below! Have a nice day!
