Warming or Cooling? You choose!

Biore Pore Perfect Warming Blackhead fighting cream wash - heats and targets

If you have been reading my posts in the past few months (on facebook), you would know that this is the face wash I bought for 49p. 

The consistency of this face wash is so thick. It's almost like PVA glue, if not, thicker.

It says to apply onto wet face with dry hands. But as you massage the product over your face, you will found that you really need to keep adding water to your face or you won't be able to spread the product over your face. Once the product is in contact with water, it heats up, not massively that it's going to burn your face but you can feel the warmth. I'd say it's warmer than my shower temperature. Just need to make sure that you store this at a dry place. 

There are loads of exfoliants (well, nothing can beat the St. Ives. but when it's compared to a normal face scrub in the market), it's so much that they can effectively exfoliate every single part of your face without having to deliberately move the beads to a spot where you want to exfoliate every time. The exfoliants are so small in size, but I found that they are a bit 'rough'. What I mean is, the exfoliants seem to have sharp edges so make sure you don't rub too hard (you shouldn't anyway).

In general speaking, this product is gentle enough to use once every day, I normally do that at night. It leaves your skin so smooth, very smooth, extremely smooth that you can feel it straight away when you are rinsing the product off. Does dry my face out a little but I guess it's because of the warming properties and the fact that I've got heating on in my house............. So... Can't really give a fair comment on this. It does reduce the appearance of blackheads but not by much, but it did not break me out :)

Biore Pore Perfect Pore Unclogging Scrub - exfoliates and refines

The consistency of this product is very interesting. Yes, I said interesting. In the brand new tube, it looks like A tube of ice-cream. It's got some shiny swirl in the product, with green beads, very creamy looking. As you squeeze the product out, I said to myself, it reminds me of something...

It's not sticky, it stays like a slid sitting on your fingers (so if you tilt your hand over, the product WILL fall off your hand) but as you press it, it turns into a mash yet creamy.  

As I use it more and more, I realised the most out-standing good thing about this product is that you won't waste one single drop of this product. Why? Look at the tube! The product WILL NOT get left behind the tube as it does not stick on the tube like any other cream/gel/foam/liquid/lotion or whatever!!!!!

Do you know what I mean? Then I finally know what it reminds me of - wasabi! The consistency is like wasabi! Not sticky, like a solid when you squeeze it out and turn into a creamy mash as you press it.  WASABI

The amount of exfoliants are not as many as the warming one I mentioned above. However, I prefer these beads than the ones in the warming tube since these ones are not as harsh, not like the warming ones, they are all very sharp. Also, these beads are bigger in size comparing to the ones in the warming tube. However, it does not down-grade the performance. Instead, this one does a way better job than the warming one on reducing the appearance of blackheads that the results it so obvious! No, it does not break me out!

It gives a slight cooling sensation instead of warming. I almost did not realised the cooling effect the first time I used this but I actually thought that something's wrong with the water...^^" The cooling sensation is not as strong as the Clean&Clear or Neutrogena's products, only a slight cooling effect to make you feel fresh. 

So creamy and I really like how creamy it feels on my skin. I kept wanting to wash my face again and again with this product but I just knew that I mustn't. so smooth, very smooth, extremely smooth that you can feel it straight away when you are rinsing the product off. Does not dry out my skin at all. Certainly gentle enough to use once a day. 

Both of the products mentioned above contain salicylic acid, which is good for helping the removal of dead skin cells that also is a plus for acne prone skin. Also, they both have the same lovely scent. They both have a refreshing cucumber scent with a hint of floral, I am so addicted to the smell that sometimes I just randomly open the cap just to smell it...
