Pilaten Blackhead Remover Mask .:PatchouliMoonsong:.

Afternoon, everybody! It's that wonderful time again where I post a product review!

Today's product is the Pilaten Blackhead Remover Mask, something that I've desperately needed in my life. The mask works like a Biore nose strip in that when you peel it off, it's supposed to pull the gunk out of your pores and those nasty little blackheads will be adhered to the mask. I've heard wonderful reviews on this product and as someone who has dozens of stubborn blackheads peppering her nose and chin, I thought this product would be like magic to my face.

First, let me tell you that this stuff smells weird. It's exactly like Dawn dish soap. Very strange, but moving on!

It does not come with instructions and the translated ones I found on the page I purchased from weren't entirely clear, but here's how you're supposed to do it: After showering and drying off your face or steaming your face to open your pores, you apply a THIN layer of the product to your face and allow it to dry completely before applying a second THIN layer and letting that dry; third layer optional. I cannot stress that enough, because the very helpful tutorials I found couldn't stress that enough, either.

I'll start out by saying this stuff does wonders removing all the gunk from your face. My skin felt baby smooth because the mask peeled off all the dead skin flakes I had AND every single little peach fuzz hair I had where I applied the mask. The downside? The mask removed everything...except what it was advertised to do. While skin flakes and peach fuzz clung to the mask, all my blackheads were still lodged stubbornly in my pores.

Sadly, this product doesn't work for me, at least not the way it's supposed to. I've tried several different ways of applying it to see if that would make any difference, all for naught. Since I seem to be in the minority of people this product doesn't work for, I'd still recommend you try it out and see if it works for you. Even though my blackheads are still firmly in place, I like how smooth my skin is after using this mask. It even feels supple and moisturized, which I find very strange but I'm not complaining! For that, I'm strongly considering purchasing more of this product in the future.

It isn't very expensive, either. I got mine for around $5, I believe, and considering how little product you need for each application, it'll last you a while.

Date: 9/5/2015 3:28:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 66755    Thanks for that suggestion! I've tried several products in the past, mostly blackhead cleansers, that really made little to no difference to my skin. I end up having to squeeze the particularly bad blackheads out, which I don't like due to the trauma it puts on the skin and the pore.

You know, Nani, I've actually learned that some people, for whatever reason, simply can't use products like this. I met someone who, like me, never gets results from things like nose strips and this mask. I think it has to do with how deep the blackheads are in your skin because mine appear to be deeper than normal, but I don't know if that's really the case or not.

I love the packaging, because it makes this product look like a much more expensive brand. Sounds like it would be good as a regular masque, but not for the extreme removal of gunk in pores.

I have to agree with what the 'author only' said. I also use bentonite clay and mix it with my other facial cleansers, put it in my astringents and make a masque out of it. It doesn't get much more natural and it works wonders for the skin. Also this clay powder is really inexpensive and lasts a long time.

Oh, also bentonite mixed with 50% water, and 50% apple cider vinegar can really help remove all the hair products out of our hair. Just apply to hair in the shower and rinse out. I do this before putting the conditioner into my hair.

Date: 9/5/2015 5:42:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 66755    AO, you're right about a lot of non-comedogenic products actually being comedogenic. I've had several supposedly non-comedogenic products break me out very badly in the past, one of which I did a review on; the Freeman face mask with sea salt. Very bad product.  
Date: 9/5/2015 5:50:00 PM  From Authorid: 64365    I love your product reviews. Before I buy a new product I look for the reviews on it, but you never can tell which are real and which are just planted to push the product. Experience speaks volumes, so thank you for what you do for us. HUGS  
Date: 9/5/2015 6:18:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 66755    I know what you mean, Nani. It's so frustrating when you want to try a new product, but there aren't any reviews so you're uncertain whether you should just go for it or not! That's part of why I try to review all the products that I use, especially for products that USMers likely haven't come across, like the MeNow lip products I did a while back.  
Date: 9/7/2015 11:13:00 PM  From Authorid: 62220    great review! love your posts. Anyway, I too have stubborn blackheads and the only thing i found that really works for me is very expensive GlamGlow mask in the white jar from Sephora combined with the Biore pore strips. You wash your face with the GlamGlow according to instructions, then apply the pore strip according to THOSE instructions, and when you peel it off, presto! A forest of blackheads (which reminds me, I should do it again soon). Unfortunately, my blackheads ALWAYS come back. So it's a temp fix at best anyway. But I do like the results. I highly recommend the GlamGlow products but like I said, they are pricey!  
Date: 9/8/2015 1:33:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 66755    Thanks for that, StarlitBunni! I'll have to try that out. I also heard that a simple way to remove blackheads is to steam your face for 10-15 minutes and then exfoliate immediately afterwards. I'm skeptical of that, but curious enough to try for myself and see if it really works.
