Elizavecca Milky Piggy Hell Pore Clean Up Mask 100ml/3.38 fl.oz. - Peel Off Mask, Charcoal Pore Strips, Pore Cleansing, Removes Dead Skin Cells, Removes Skin wastes, Pore Contraction

I’ve bought this mask three times now—and for good reason. It’s one of the few peel-off masks I’ve used that actually does something. It helps clear up so many skin issues for me—whether it's excess oil, clogged pores, or just needing a good exfoliation. The charcoal formula really grabs the gunk (especially if you open your pores first with steam), and it leaves my skin feeling fresh and smooth every time. Definitely a little intense on the peel, so avoid baby hairs or sensitive spots, but I love the clean feeling afterward. Also? The price is amazing for how long it lasts. One tube goes a long way, and I always come back to it.

I have been using this product for years and love it. I’m 65f with mild rosacea and sensitive skin. older skin doesn’t exfoliate like younger skin and you really have to do something extra to get the dead skin off. I love how clean my skin feels with this mask, and how effective it is. The dermatologists obviously would want something gentler/more chemical but I’ve tried everything and just don’t feel like my skin ever gets clear or exfoliated. Nothing is as effective as this mask. My skin does get a little inflamed post mask but i always follow up with a moisturizer/barrier repair serum and an occlusive, and lay off everything else for 3-4 days.. Sometimes I use a steamer and then apply the mask, but typically this is most effective, but also most painful to peel so I don’t use a steamer all the time. IMO you cant get a better product for exfoliating. I enjoy the at home facial experience, and love the price/value.

Okay, so to start off, I'll explain that I always exfoliate and use warm water before using one of these things so that the mask has better access to my pores. I've used both this and one of those other peel masks (won't name which brand). This has less in the way of harmful ingredients that I would be concerned about putting in my skin, as it's free of such things as parabens, and the few ingredients that I would be concerned about (like aluminum) are very very low down the ingredient list, usually indicating there isn't a whole lot of it in there. This has titanium dioxide in it which is what makes it the lighter color despite also being charcoal based. I'm wondering if this also helps with the drying time because this dries down much faster than the black mask. Going on, this is easier to spread and less messy on the fingers, but the scent burned my eyes and after a few minutes burned on my skin before calming down, which isn't all that surprising, considering the very astringent (a bit like rubbing alchohol, it does list alchohol as an ingredient) smell it has, after a minute or two I stopped feeling it except the tight drying feeling it gets. The other mask is almost like tar spreading on, and almost smells as bad as tar, but it feels cold and gets colder (almost uncomfortably so to be honest) and doesn't burn my eyes. Now, as far as results go, I expected them to be about the same, but actually, the hell pore mask, while harder to get a grip on the edge, peeled much more nicely and HURT MUCH LESS than the other mask. For everyone saying how much this hurts it honestly doesn't. Both masks leave your skin feeling soft to the touch, but the hell pore mask actually seemed to pull more actual gunk out of my skin (it's hard to see due to the color and texture of the mask though which is somehow less satisfying lol) and largely left all but the finest of fine little hairs. The other mask rips out WAAAAAAAAY more hairs (ouch, feels like waxing honestly) but I generally didn't see that it pulled out many blackheads (but they are much more visible on the black, as is the dead skin) So overall I enjoyed the results of hell pore more, But there was one major drawback. There seem to be more botanical extract ingredients in hell pore, and something in there irritated the hell (no pun intended) out of my skin. It doesn't look red or splotchy, but if you have a sensitivity to benzoyl peroxide, you probably understand what my skin feels like right now, which is just kind of hot, inflamed and a bit itchy/burny Now, I used to use that type of acne treatment, so I'm no stranger to putting up with the irritation. That said, I will probably use this very sparingly if at all. I'm not sure the irritation to my skin is worth the payout. We'll see in a few days whether it results in a breakout due to over sensitizing my skin. I don't recommend this for people with botanical allergies or sensitive skin. If you have sensitive skin, I recommend trying the gudetama peeling mask that's sold here on amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Holika-Gudetama-Smooth-Peeling-140ml/dp/B01IH6CD2Q It smells nice, feels nice, doesn't burn or hurt, and doesn't have any negative side effects for me personally, and works really nice at just rolling the dead skin off and softening. Doesn't do much for blackheads, but it does help clear out some gunk. EDIT: scratch that, I actually went back to look at myself in the mirror and I now have a rash on my face, ONLY ON THE AREAS I USED THE MASK (I did not use it on my whole face, nose upper cheeks t zone and chin) see pictures, my face is usually closer to the color of my neck. And I have little raised bumps now (Not talking about my blemishes, which are obvious since they are scabbed) images taken in two lightings to show the color

My first try was disappointing but my second try was better. I still like those biore pore strips best for blackhead removal but this is second. Tips: 1.put on thick, thick enough that you can't see your skin color. Not stupid this though either. It'll take at least one try before you get the right thickness. 2. Make sure you have dried completely before peeling off. This was my problem the first time, it wasn't toally dry when I peeled and the result was disappointing. Again it'll prolly take you one try to realize what fully dry is because I thought I did and I was wrong. 3. If possible stay in a warm room, this mask really makes your skin cold when it's on, which maks your pores shrunk andnitll take longer to dry. I just turn up the best in the bathroom and hang out in the warmth until it dries. 4. If you don't tear up when you're peeling off you did something wrong. It's not the most painful thing in the world and by far it shouldn't stop anyone from using it, but you should get some tears when peeling. Either u didnt use enough or you didnt let it dry enough is most likely the problem. 5. Try to cover your skin in one swipe during application. It seems to start to set immeaditly when it goes on and they more you try to fiddle with it in your skin the less effective it seems to be. Again you'll prolly have to try it once before youll understand what you need to do. My skin stayed really soft for about 24he's after the peel too. Would I buy it again... prolly but I would also but biore pore strips too. I didn't see you much come out of my skin, but then again I haven't used pore strips in years. When I used to use them I got a lot out of my pores but I think I had worse blackheads then, and I don't now.

It doesnt hurt as much as everyone says it does. It's probably the best mask I've used so far. Doesnt quite get all the sebum and out but I use it for my whole face. Update (july 3): I use this pretty frequently. It takes a while to dry which is a little unfortunate, if you put on a thicker layer it wont hurt as much. But even as you do it light it still takes a while to dry. Still using on my whole face. It works for the most part. But it doesnt get all the sebum out. I still have huge pores so i have a hard time telling whats what. Biggest complaint is drying time... been like 40 minutes and theres still sticky parts. In random spots. Not sure why everyones saying its clumpy its not for me. Going to a concert tonight. So using it so hopefully i dont have to use as much makeup. And I'm hoping it does cause the amount of time its taking to dry is actually really annoying.

What's with all these negative reviews? Yes, it works about the same as a Biore strip, but 1) you get a lot more of it 2) you can put it all over your face, not on just a tiny area. I use this about once a week, and it works wonderfully. I don't have that many black heads, but what I do have are sebaceous filaments all over my skin, which, if you have them, you know are EXTREMELY ANNOYING AND HARD TO GET RID OF. This mask does a good job of getting a lot of those little guys and pulling them out. Biore doesn't do that for me at all. My pores appear smaller after using this mask. You do have to put quite a bit on for optimal results. Like, make a pretty thick layer. Try to make it look opaque on your skin, rather than translucent. You also have to wait until it's COMPLETELY DRY. This may be longer than 15 minutes. As for the pain . . . Yeah, I guess there's a little. It's honestly not bad at all if you pull it off slowly. Don't you kind of want there to be a lot of suction, though? You want the mask to be strong enough to get all the stuff out. Anyway, if you have large pores that get stuff in them no matter what, then this stuff helps! A good skin care regimen also helps, but this should be a part of that.

I was really optimistic about this product. I love the Biore strips. It's a similar idea but different mechanism. I've seen youtube videos of people making peel offs for pore removal. This product reminded me of that. This was difficult to peel off the face. I was willing to accept this. It did remove my blackheads. But, it effectively altered my skin texture (but not just for the next 20/30 mins or so like with the Biore strips, but for days). My skin is typically combo/oily. After using this product my skin became very dry, flakey, irritated, red, some swelling. Again, I was willing to accept this (if it worked and my skin went back to normal relatively immediately). The Biore strips dry my skin out too after use. This wasn't new. But, then I got a rash. That was new. I was willing to accept (1) the difficulty of removal and (2) skin dryness. But, the tradeoffs aren't worth it for me at least. More pain than gain. I'm traumatized at the moment. I love the pore removal stuff in general that I've tried. But, my skin has had a sever reaction now with this product. Look up allergic dermatitis if you're curious. If you don't have sensitive skin, I think this product would be great for you. But if you have sensitive skin, maybe there would be concern.

I went to reorder this item after using my original tube, and saw all the poor reviews...felt I had to say something! First off, [at least for me, and some others] this does NOT replace other forms of blackhead extraction. This mask has pulled out exactly 0 blemishes from my face. HOWEVER, I also suffer from very large pores, especially to the sides of my nose. Even when my skin is clear I'm usually too self conscious to go without makeup because of it. This mask has been the best pore tightening regime I've found with immediate results. My recommendation? Shower. In the shower first use an oil based cleanser (I literally just use coconut oil. The best for removing makeup and reducing skin irritation). Use a gentle scrub (I use /yes to grapefruit/ exfoliater, only on my 'T' zone.) Once out of the shower I use Etude House Pore Freshener toner. This is a little bit drying, so I use it primarily on my 'T' zone to ensure no bacteria prior to blackhead extraction. I use blackhead removal tweezers EVERY OTHER WEEK at most. This step seems to be the most irritating and causes inflammation, sometimes I'll even use ibuprofen if I know I'll be doing it. If I extract I finish with another round of toner, then rinse with warm water and apply this mask (again, mostly on 'T' zone). After pealing and rinsing one more time, I'll finish it off with a basic moisturizer like cetaphil. This is my personal recommendation, as someone who gets both eczema and acne. I love this product and will continue to buy it, but I wanted to clarify with the wide scope of reviews. I know this routine is a bit excessive, but this it's not an every day routine for me. But if I have the time to do it... I can usually go several days after without foundation feeling wonderful.
