[MIZON] ACENCE TEA TREE TOCK BLEMISH SPOT

When I look for something that's good for oily or blemished skin I always find 'tea tree oil'. My first tea tree products where from [THE BODY SHOP] and now I use [MIZON]'s ACENCE TEA TREE TOCK BLEMISH SPOT. It's a anti-blemish spot treatment and belongs to the ACENCE A.C CARE product line:
- MARK-X BLEMISH AFTER CREAM
- TEA TREE TOCK BLEMISH SPOT

There is also the ACENCE TROUBLE CLINIC line which consists of the following products:
- ANTI BLEMISH FOAM CLEANSER
- DERMA CLEARING TONER
- SEBUM CONTROL EMULSION
- BLEMISH SPOT SOLUTION SERUM
- BLEMISH CONTROL SOOTHING GEL CREAM
- BLEMISH OUT PINK SPOT

Actually, I also ordered the BLEMISH CONTROL SOOTHING GEL CREAM but I never received this order and the seller reshiped the wrong products. Will purchase it again for sure!

Description: A fast acting spot treatment that minimizes acne breakouts and promotes immediate healing of blemishes. High performance ingredients, such as tea tree oil is used as a strong antiseptic to kill acne related bacteria. Its anti-inflammatory benefits help to promote healing while soothing and reducing redness.

The TEA TREE TOCK BLEMISH SPOT came sealed in a clear plastic container and included an extra note with the description in english and korean on it.
The product itself comes inside a white, long plastic tube and has a twist-off lid made of thick paper. The tube contains 15ml.

 Beside the main ingredient Tea Tree Leaf Oil & Extract (15%), it also contains Propolis, Salicylic Acid, Goldthread Extract, Witch Hazel Leaf Water, Lemon Extract, Allantoin, Cluster Pine Tree Peel, Cordyceps militaris and Ivy.
It's free of Artificial Fragrance, Talc, Artificial Colors, Animal Oil, and Paraben.

I guess everybody knows that touching blemishes with your fingers might make it more worst. This treatment is colorless and has the typical tea tree scent. When drying the watery gel creates a thin film to protect skin from external stimulation and bacteria. It also can control excessive sebum!

After a while you can peel-off the film or wait until it falls off naturally.

You can't expect getting rid of acne or blemishes just by using this tea tree treatment. It helps to reduce the size of pimples without drying out the skin, though.

How to use: Apply on skin blemishes and pat lightly.

After time passes, when a thin film is created, remove it or let it fall off naturally.

Price: around 8,- €/ US$10

What I love: 
It dries fast and reduces blemishes without drying my skin out. 

What I don’t like: 
Nothing yet!

Will I buy this again? Not sure yet!

[TONYMOLY] SHINY FOOT PEELING LIQUID

Summer is the time for your feets! I always try to take care of my feets but the most attention they get during summer. I use creams, nail polishes etc. to make them soft and good looking. Of course I'm always open to try out new things and so I ordered a foot peeling: the [TONYMOLY] SHINY FOOT PEELING LIQUID. According to the numbers of sales, this product seems to be quite popular. It's available as a MAXI POWER FOOT PEELING LIQUID, too. 

Description: Shiny Foot Peeling Liquid is a foot treatment product that was specially developed to take care of foot roughness.

The white box arrived a bit damaged... Nevertheless, it contains two (2) sachets/ pouches, a pair of plastic bags which can be worn as shoes/ socks and a instruction in korean and english.

Each sachet contains 20ml of the colorless liquid and is enough for a single-use.

Some ingredients of the peeling liquid are Water, Alcohol, Arginine, Salicylic Acid, Urea, Grape Fruit Extract, Orange Fruit Extract, Apple Fruit Extract, Lemon Fruit Extract, Lime Fruit Extract, Honeysuckle Flower Extract, Sage Extract, Peach Leaf Extract, Lavender Extract, Ginkgo Biloba Leaf Extract, Rosemary Leaf Extract, Aceroal Fruit Extract and many other Root/ Leaf Extracts.

The plastic bags are made of double-layered material and you can wear them like shoes or socks. This way you can still walk around while using the peeling liquid. 

But be careful: it was very slippery for me!

Wear them for 1~1,5 hours and wash the liquid off with warm water.

After 3 to 5 days my skin slowly started to peel off at the sole of my foot. The strongest peeling effect I have noticed after taking shower (when the skin became wet). I tried to gently rub it off with a towel!

After a few more days the skin on the top of my feet also started to peel off. Now, after around 15~20 days, my feets are smoother and softer.

[TONYMOLY]'s SHINY FOOT PEELING LIQUID did work on me, even though I wished my feets would be more soft. I also think it's better to use it before the summer season starts coz I couldn't wear flip flops etc. during that time - it looked too bad with all the dead cells falling off.
It might be that I will repeat it in a few weeks again with the Baby Silky Foot One Shot Peeling from [Holika Holika].

How to use: Put Foot Sheets on your feet. Cut open the pouch containing the liquid and pour the peeling liquid into both sheets. 

Keep both sheets on your feet until your foot skin absorbs the liquid (1~1,5 hours).

Then wash the liquid off and dry you feets.

In 4 to 6 days, the dead cells will naturally start falling off from your foot. DO NOT try peeling them off forcefully. Wait until all the dead cells naturally fall off, then you will feel no irritation or disconfort. You will have smooth and soft feets in about two weeks

Price: around 7,- €/ US$8.50
Bought at: eBay (cosmetic.love)        

     
What I love: 

The 'socks' and the product really made my feets softer after around 2 weeks!

           
What I don’t like: 

It needs 2 weeks what is a bit long coz I couldn't really wear open shoes during this time, plus I wish that the result would be a bit better (smoother).

        
Will I buy this again? Probably the one from [Holika Holika] or the MAXI POWER FOOT PEELING LIQUID.

[THE FACE SHOP] BLACK HEAD EX NOSE CLAY MASK *PEEL-OFF TYPE*

To remove bleackheads on my nose I usually use those nose strips from time to time. My favorites are currently the ones from Bioré I purchased during my stay in Taiwan. They work quite good!

But a while ago I also ordered from [THE FACE SHOP] two tubes of the BLACK HEAD EX NOSE CLAY MASK. This line is recommended for people with oily/ combination skin.

From the BLACK HEAD EX line are available:

- CLEAR CLEANSING FOAM

- NOSE CLAY MASK (PEEL-OFF TYPE)

- PORE STRIP

- CHARCOAL PORE STRIP

- SMOOTHING MASSAGE OIL

- BLACK PEELING GOMMAGE

- CLEAN UP KIT (CLEAN UP GEL TONER + QUICK TIGHTENING CREAM)

I can't really find these products at eBay anymore, therefore I think that these might be replaced by the New Zealand Volcanic Clay line.

Description: The Black Head EX Nose Clay Mask is a peel off mask that is designed for deep cleansing and dissolve blackheads. Contains Mulberry, Coix Seed and Black Rice Extracts, which has anti-aging properties, leaving skin shine with healthy glow, youthful and supple. 

The slim but long white tube has a mulberry print on the front, the description on the back (Korean only!) and contains 50g. The twist-of lid is brown!

Some of the ingredients inside the clay mask are White Mud (0,1%), Black Complex (Black Bean, Black Tea, Blackberry, Black Rice), Mulberry Extract, Charcoal Extract, Aloe Extract and more.

The consistency is thick and sticky with the typical peel-off mask scent (can't describe it). The color is whitish-grey!
After washing and toning my skin I apply a thick layer of the clay mask to my nose area. I wait until it completely dried (usually around 20 minutes) and start to peel it off like a nose strip. Then I wash my face again with water to remove the residues.

When I remove the dry clay mask I can see that it removed a lot of the blackheads/ whiteheads but not all. I'm still satisfied with this product! The only thing I don't like is that I have to wait for a long time until it completely dried. When I remove it too early it's not working good coz it's still wet and sticky.

How to use: Apply Nose Clay Mask to your nose with full coverage, wait 10~15 minutes for the mask to dry, peel it off and rinse your nose thoroughly with water.

Price: around 4,- €/ US$6
Bought at: eBay (can't remember sellers name)    

What I love: 

It removes a lot of my blackheads/ whiteheads! 

What I don’t like: 

It takes a long time to dry!

Will I buy this again? No, I won't! I would like to try out the Volcanic Clay Nose Pack, though, but ordered the Charcoal Nose Strips first.

[THE FACE SHOP] Home Aesthetic Purifying Egg White Pack (peel off)

Different korean cosmetic brands released skin care products with egg white which shall reduce pores size. I got some things as well, like those egg white soaps and egg face masks. I don't eat eggs but I like to use products containing it! I noticed that Asian countries got more sheet masks than mud or peel off masks and so I was happy when I found the Home Aesthetic Purifying Egg White Pack (peel off) from [THE FACE SHOP].

This peel off mask is recommended for all skin types, especially combination/ oily skin!

From the Home Aesthetic line are also available:

- Smooth Seaweed Pack (pore tightening & minimizing excess sebum)

- Fresh Cucumber Pack (revitalizing & deep moisturizing)

- Firming Honey Pack (hydrating, soothing & firming)

- Hydrating Milk Pack (hydrating, softening & brightening)

- Clarifying Potato Pack (clarifying)

Description: Century-proven home remedy skincare tips are now made into easy convenient packs. Skip the troubles of preparing and enjoy even better result.  

Purifying Pores! Deep cleansing peel-off mask eliminates impurities and accumulated oil from the pores promoting a cell renewal.

The Purifying Egg White Pack comes in a 120ml tube which is milky white translucent. The sticker on the front has a pic of an egg (egg yolk & egg white) on it. The whole description is written in korean only.

The tube got a white flip-top lid!

I found the following informations online:

Peel-off face pack transforms into a pliant, rubbery mask that hugs every curve and angle of your face to unclog pores and lift away skin-dulling dead skin cells to reveal vibrant and brighter looking skin.

The ingredients are all written in korean and I hardly can read it. But there is 1% Egg White Extract inside!

The sticky gel-like consistency has a whitish color and a strong scent. I can't describe the scent - it smells kinda chemical/ alcohol-like and I noticed a similar scent on other peel off masks before.

It's not too easy to get the product out of the tube coz of the small hole plus, the sticky texture makes it hard to spread over my face. The peel off mask dries up fast and can be removed without problems!

After peeling off the mask my pores are looking smaller and my face is smoother and more matte. These effects are just temporarily, though! 

How to use: After cleansing and toning, apply the pack all over your face avoiding eye and mouth area. Wait 10~15 minutes, or until it completely dried up, then peel it off from upperside to downside. 

Price: around 10,- €/ US$13
Bought at: eBay (hsckoreanimports)    

What I love:  

It makes my pores smaller and my face smoother and less oily!

What I don’t like: 

The strong scent and it's a bit hard to apply on the face coz of the small hole and its stickiness.

Will I buy this again? No!! I try out other masks!
