Blackheads and visible pores are a big problem to a lot of people especially to us ladies. It is hard to find a product that really works to fight those two. I have found a good wash-off mask that worked for me. It is Skinfood Egg White Pore Mask.
Skinfood's Egg White Pore Mask claims to penetrate deeply into pores to remove pore clogging oil. It contains albumin that helps firm the skin and reduce pore size. This product is stored in a sturdy plastic tub and contains 100g of product. Ingredients and description about it is written both in English and Hangul. The product's consistency is comparable to a whipped cream so i use a pack brush to apply it. It has a scent same as the Rice Wash-off Mask.
I lost my sd card so I don't have before and after pictures anymore 😣. I first experimented with this mask on my husband's face because he's got more blackheads and bigger pores than me. I applied it on his face for 1 week and it effectively reduced his pores and the big blackheads on his nose were gone. So this mask worked for him though he still preferred the Black Sugar mask.
PROS:
- reduces pore size and blackheads
- a little amount goes a long way
- safe for sensitive skin
- reduces oil production
- easy to remove
- dries easily
CONS:
- a bit pricey when purchased at a Skinfood shop (PhP 615)
- doesn't remove small blackheads
- scent
Overall, this mask is suitable for any skin type. It is effective and lives up to its claims. It doesn't dry skin at all so people with dry skin type will surely benefit from this mask as well. I will give this wonderful mask a 4.5 out of 5 rating!!!

I'm not really a fan of Skin Food since I find their products way too expensive for my budget. For something a bit pricey for a product, I wish it works effectively well since there are other cheaper ways to reduce blackheads & pore sizes.
ReplyDeleteI agree Miss Vance...Skinfood is pricey here so I prefer ordering online. It saves me like 200 pesos or more depending on the item and online store.
DeleteI think I need to try this product! Blackheads and pores are definitely my problems. I hope it will work on me considering the steep price. Thanks for sharing, Mommy :)
ReplyDeleteMommy Lulu, you may want to check other stuff on my blog. There are other products that might help you (eg. Mint Julep Masque).
DeleteI agree, it's quite expensive but that's definitely worth it when it works. :)
ReplyDeleteGlad it worked for Nelson. Mukhang kailangan ko din ito. Ang lalaki ng pores ko. Lol
ReplyDeleteTry mo teh. Mura mura pa yan compared sa ibang masks ng Skinfood.
DeletePerhaps I can try this one out. I've been worrying about my blackheads (and whiteheads, too) for as long as I can remember.
ReplyDeleteThis worked for me and may work for you as well Miss Pam.😊
DeleteYou may also want to check some other face masks I've reviewed in the past.
I have constant blackheads, too, and I found Himalayan scrub to be more effective than nose strips. I'd love to try this but I find it too expensive! :D
ReplyDeleteI would suggest trying Queen Helene Mint Julep mask after exfoliating and toning Miss Marie. It's cooling effect makes you feel relaxed while working out those blackheads that were left behind.
DeleteLaughed a bit reading you got your husband to test it first. My husband is also like that, he often complains of his calloused hands and dry skin and demands for lotion and body wash.
ReplyDeleteI had to beg for him to be my test subject for this review lol.
DeleteThe scent is always a factor to me when it comes to face masks, lol. I know some would say that it's better if it's unscented or something but I always find it more relaxing to use masks with lovely scent.
ReplyDeleteThe scent of this mask (i think) does not suit the product with egg white as main ingedient. But I had no choice but to bear with it hihihi
DeleteI found it cute that your husband tried it first. You gave me an idea for our future couple bonding time. Paramihan ng blackheads na matatanggal! Hehe. Thanks for sharing this. Though a little costly, it may be worth the try. Tiis-bulsa!
ReplyDeletePwede din bonding time nyo ni hubby eh hair treatment during weekends. Alam mo naman ang mga lalake kukulitin mo pa. Hihihi
DeleteI'm curious about the smell mommy. HOw does it smell like? :)
ReplyDeleteIt's like pond's cold cream in my opinion but milder.
DeleteWow, this is the first time I've seen this product. At first glance I though, egg white lang for cooking. Which would have been perfect for me because I make French Macarons and I just need egg whites! :p
ReplyDeleteI used to use egg whites for mask kaso nangangati ako pagkatapos. Good thing I found this little wonder.
Deletebig pores + blackheads are my problem, too. ordinary face wash won't just work on them. hopefully i can get to try this product one of these days! although it might be a bit expensive, it will be worth it if it actually works!
ReplyDeleteMommy i would suggest making exfoliation a part of ur weekly beauty regimen. Don't forget to use a toner afterwards. A weekly egg white mask is a good alternative to this product. 😊
DeleteOh, I wish I were as patient as most girls when it comes to beauty treatments. Ang tamad ko talaga sa mga things like this! Haha!
ReplyDeleteHaving the right facial wash, toner and moiturizer (and sunblock during daytime) as part of your daily beauty routine is fine Miss Monica it won't take 3mins hihihi.
DeleteSkin Food is quite an expensive brand but I loved their previous Gold Caviar line, as well as their nail polish shades. I haven't tried pore minimizing products before. I might try the egg whites muna haha
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading Miss Shalene! Gold Caviar line is one of their best buy products and I agree with you it is pricey especially here in our country. Milk mask is also a good alternative mask to egg whites. It firms and brightens skin.
DeleteAhh, I need this! Ouch on the pocket though hehe. I sometimes just resort to natural remedies like baking soda. :)
ReplyDeleteI love baking soda! It's an all around product. A weekly dose of baking soda from head to toe is what I do. 😊
DeleteThere's a loot of Korean beauty products and I can't keep up. I think I'll look for it in the store and see its pore reducing effects, I hope they have a sample :p
ReplyDeleteFrom my experience Miss Badet, mas ok mamigay ng sample ang skinfood stalls (like sa Fairview Terraces) compared sa stores. You can check ebay.ph for some samples ng mask na to. As far as I can remember may isang seller na nagtitinda ng sample packs.
DeleteI love skinfood too, especially their Argan Oil.
ReplyDeleteWhat product from their Argan line would you recommend for me to try soon? I haven't tried any of their hair care line yet.
DeleteOoh this is interesting. I've never tried Skinfood products before. I should check them out.
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking time to read Miss Janice ! :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried any Skinfood products before, but I'm glad what you bought worked for you. What was it about the scent that you didn't like, by the way?
ReplyDeletesadly, my skin does not like skin food? I tried it once (for a month at least) and I had a break out.. it took 2 months of using Laniege and safeguard to clear out my skin..
ReplyDeleteIt's a bit pricey. I haven't tried skin food but I am intrigued about their products. Maybe I will try this to my hubby's face who have big pores on the nose.
ReplyDeletehaven't tried this product yet, though i tried their other products before.
