Daiso Pore Pack Reviews

Lol I need to make more of an effort to write my blogs! I recently finished another round of midterms and have been spending my time job hunting!! I'm also participating in an intercollegiate pageant, so I'll let you know how that goes :)

Anyway, I wanted to review these pore packs I bought from Daiso awhile back.  Over the summer, there was a lot of hype over the pore pack from The Face Shop, but it was sold out everywhere! I even asked  a friend who was visiting Vietnam to look for it in their shops over there, but no luck :P  I don't actually have very large pores or blackheads or anything, but I was just curious about how much junk was in my pores, and those Biore strips never worked well for me. So, you can imagine my excitement when I found pore packs at Daiso!!

I bought the cactus one first about several months ago, and I found the black one about a month ago.  The white one costs $4, and the black one is $2, and their difference in price reflects their difference in quality.

Both pore packs are used in the same way.  For this to work well, you have to apply a thick layer onto your skin.  I think the cactus one dried faster than the the black one.  Once dry, you peel them off.  The cactus pack is stickier and hurts more than the white one when you peel it off, but both leave your skin feeling nice and soft.  For the purpose of this review, I used both packs in the morning before I washed my face, because I typically don't have much in my pores. I think my daily ritual of cleansing and toning keeps my face fairly clean.  Anyway, so how do the results compare?? Well see for yourself!!



Obviously, the cactus pack is white, and the black pack is black.  When you initially look at the strip, it's really hard to see what the cactus pack picked up, whereas with the black back, the junk stands out against the black strip.  But upon closer inspection, you'll see that the cactus pack picked up a lot more gunk than the black pack.

 

I admit, this is kind of gross, but at the same time kind of cool! From the pictures, you can tell that the cactus pack picked up A LOT more gunk than the black pack.  I had a really hard time trying to capture the little white pore gunks on the black strip, but on the cactus strip, it really stands out!

One last picture of all the gunk LOL sorry if it grosses you out, but I wanted to show you how much it pulled out!! Amazing, right??
