I think this is the final proof I needed that this whole K-beauty thing is the most over-rated trend in recent years. I have tried many different products with results varying from absent to disastrous. On this specific product (I bought the charcoal version): - Very drying - skin feels tight and dehydrated - Terrible format - you end up applying too much and wasting the product - It says on the packaging that you can use it on eyes and lips. I was skeptical given that it contains charcoal but thought I would give it a try - a big mistake. It is very irritating for skin and even more so for eyes If you want something for pores, I would strongly recommend Sunday Riley's Ceramic Slip - more expensive but far more gentle and effective.

I'm on a quest to find the perfact cleanser (for my needs...) and this comes close. I really like that you put it on dry skin and I love that it get's rid of my mascara (which is actually what I search for in a cleanser: make up removal without having to rub my eyes).. The only reason I give it 4 instead of five stars is, that the green tea one has lil bits of extremely rough green tea in it and rubbing that over my eyes is really not that great, so I should have bought the charcoal one I guess...next time (which won't be too soon as you don't need much of it to clean your face.)
