Part of the beauty routine is to regularly deep clean the skin every week in order to get rid of pore-clogging build-up and blackheads and impurities. Most of the clarifying masks in the market come in wash away format. This product is similar to Biore pore strips but applying to the entire face and neck. Black heads, small facial hairs and dead cells can be all pulled out after drying up. The only cons is the gel was black abnd sticky which may mess up your washroom sink. I still can't find Kose in Canada but I purchase that from Hong Kong or Sasa.com.
