The two [Holika Holika] products I will review today are for blackhead removal. My favorites are still the [Bioré] PORE STRIPS I got in Taiwan, nevertheless I don't mind trying out some new products from time to time.
- Perfect sticker
- 3-step kit
- steam starter
- peeling massage gel
- Deep cleansing oil balm
- cleansing sugar scrub
I decided to get the 3-step kit and sugar scrub but it might be that you get better results when you use the whole line.
Description: Did you know there are
no blackheads on the nose of a pig? And guess what else? You don’t have
to either! Say goodbye to your blackheads with Pig Nose Clear Series.
This series gets rid of blackheads that are deep-rooted in pores and
makes your nose soft and fair.
3-step kit:
Description: Pig Nose Clear Blackhead 3-Step Kit
contains all three steps necessary for perfect pore control. The first
step opens your pores to allow for easy blackhead removal and cleaning.
The second steps eliminates all waste and removes even the deepest
blackheads. The third step minimizes the pores for a fresh and smooth
look and feel.
The 3-step kit is for a single-use only and contains three different kinds of sheets for your nose.
STEP 1: The sheet in step 1 is a soft mask sheet for your nose and soaked with a essence. Apply it to your nose and leave it on for 15~20 minutes, then remove it and wash the remaining solution off.
STEP 2: This pink sheet is the typical pore strip for removing blackheads. Wet your nose, apply the sheet and gently remove it after 10~15 minutes or when the strip is completely dry.
STEP 3: The last step contains a clear gel sheet which is also soaked with a essence. Apply it to your nose for 5~10 minutes, remove it and gently tap to help absorbtion.
Benefits:
Full Pore Control
Opens Pores
Removes Blackheads
Removes Whiteheads
Removes Dead Skin Cells
Tightens Pores
Smoothes Skin
I used this kit only once and I didn't see any difference on my nose. Even the pore strip from step 2 didn't remove my blackheads, another reason why I will continue using the [Bioré] ones.
cleansing sugar scrub:
Description: The cleansing sugar scrub is an exfoliating blackhead removing wash-off scrub. Contains soft white sugar for
exfoliating rather than the traditional rough black sugar in other
exfoliators. Removes dead skin cells, allowing for easier extraction of
blackheads and other impurities from pores. Also, contains pink clay
ingredient to help absorb excess sebum without over drying. Lemon
extracts and Aloe Vera gel provide a brighter complexion and nourish the
skin.
The sugar scrub comes in a small, pink container with a twist-off lid.
It contains 30ml and has the description on the bottom (Korean only!).

The consistency is rather thick and you can feel all the sugar in it - especially when you rub it over your dry skin. It has a slight lemon scent!
Benefits:
Removes blackheads
Removes Impurities in Pores
Nourishes
Helps to control excess oil
Moisturizing
Brightens
I tried it out only once as well but I like it result. It didn't remove all my blackheads yet but it made my skin very sleek and soft.
How to use: After cleansing, apply
an appropriate amount on areas with blackheads and massage into skin.
After 15 minutes, wash off with lukewarm water. For best results, use
1-2 times a week.
Price: around US$4 (3-step kit)/ US$8 (sugar scrub)
Bought at: eBay (f2plus1)
What I love:
There is nothing I really love atm!
What I don’t like:
The 3-step kit didn't change anything. My nose still looked the same afterwards but the sugar scrub made my skin more soft.
Will I buy this again? No, would only try out another product of this line!
