I’ve decided to start a new category called “Product Revisit“, basically its where I re-review products I’ve made a review for when I first got them to give you my opinion of the effectiveness of the product (because you really can’t tell if something works on the first or second application). This is my first ‘revisit’ and I hope you’ll enjoy it to compare against the original review. I’ve done a preliminary review on this product here but I feel that I really need to do a new one now that I’ve used it a few more times.

Read on for my full review on the New Zealand Volcanic clay nose pack!

New Zealand Volcanic clay nose pack

Basically… It is a pore pack to remove blackheads but in gel/liquid form as above.

The good stuff… As it is liquid, you can use it on which ever part of your face that needs blackhead removal – even in the most awkward corners you can reach it with this product.

The not so good stuff… This thing smells like glueprobably is some kind of glue too, it doesn’t even try to smell like anything different (unlike the Daiso one as mentioned by L of Glamburger). You have to use this in a well ventilated areaeven then, I would get occasional whiffs of glue.

It’s been mentioned by other bloggers that it doesn’t hurt as much as your conventional pore strips but if you spread it too far down your lip or too far to the sides of your nose it will hurt like a b*tchI’ve never had my eyes water when removing pore strips, this made my eyes water so much that my tears were spilling out – this thing clings onto every single little hairas an Asian, I don’t even have that much hair to begin with! So how it was even gripping onto hair I can’t see was beyond me! – even the ones you can’t see!

So yes, this thing will pull out any hair it comes into contact with once dried. But does it work on blackheads you ask? Simply, no – it does little to nothing in terms of removing blackheads and I’ve noticed that it mostly settles around each blackhead rather than over once dried (no wonder then that it doesn’t pull anyting out!)

The bottom line: I will not buy this again nor will I recommend this to anyone. It’s such a shame too because I had such high hopes for this product =[ I might try to finish using this bottle but I don’t know how fast it’ll move. Maybe I’ll use it again once I forget how useless it is.
