I have had a crazy blackhead problem ever since puberty. I have tried many ways to get rid of it with scrubs, masks, etc. This sebum pack has so far been the best solution. However, there are still quite a few drawbacks.

It is recommended to use this everyday for a week, and every other two days for the rest of the month for the blackheads to be completely melted and gone (as claimed).

I have used it for a continuous 4 days, and my nose has gotten very dry and flaky. This doesn't seem to be an exfoliation process though, because my blackheads are still embedded in my pores. The only difference is that my pores are a bit smaller.
I still have to use foundation and concealer to conceal my nose and it's still unattractive since I can't cover the flaky skin on my nose from dryness.

In comparison to other blackhead removal methods, I believe I see the most significant change with this product so I will continue to use this product until I find a better solution to blackheads!

Quite disappointing. Not much of a difference for me even after a month of usage.

I am a bit undecided on this product. I do find that sometimes after using it, my blackheads are easier to extract. Overall, the difference is not massive. I recently had 2 massive blackheads and started religiously using this mask. After 2 weeks, success! i managed to extract the 2 blackheads (FYI i had been attempting to remove them for at least a fortnight - they refused to budge!!!). coincidence? im not sure. for now i will keep using them.

I didn't notice a huge difference with my blackheads. But then again, I got lazy and didn't use it regularly as I was told. I will repurchase this again and use it daily as recommended.

i liked this stuff! it actually cleared up the blackhead on my nose! yessss!!
one box contains 8 masks, and 1 mask last me 3 uses on the nose and chin..
i usually just put the clay stuff on my nose etc, and wait a few minutes until it is hard and dry, then i rinse it off with warm water. the only thing i do not like about this is that it is very dry on my skin.. after using it, i have to put a lot of moisturising on..
the lady at the fancl counter told me to use it everyday for a week, then use it every other day the next week, and seriously, this stuff works! it kinda softens the dirt in the pores and everything just dissappears after a few uses.
it is also a decent price,, wasnt too expensive.

This has to be a new solution for blackhead problems. I do not have a severe problem, but I am always conscious of the pores and the blackheads around my t-zone area.

It comes in a box of 8, and I think the each pack lasts one generous application for the entire face. I have never used it completely on my face because I am only treating my problem areas, the infamous t-zone and the chin! It actually can last me a very long time, but I share with my sister who needs to use it more. I did wish it comes in small packs so people can rip one open as they need more.

The sales agent recommended me to use it after the active pack (in the American version it's called, "Skin Renewal Pack") to rid of any dead skin first and ready up the pores for the mask to deep cleanse. After my first try with a consecutive of about 4 use, I noticed that the blackhead deposits are cleared up!
I had even took a curious experiment and see what it does for inflamed breakouts. It actually made it darker, aka, it seems to kill off the red breakout.
Although, I am unsure of its effectiveness with preventing breakouts and one of those it-hurts-and-will-breakout-but-it-looks-fine-now acne.
I have to add a disclaimer to this, this is a mask to dissolve blackheads, I do not think it prevents blackheads buildup unless you use it few times weekly. I use this from weekly when I have the chance, it's only 3 minutes!

I actually beg to differ with the other reviews, as I personally think that this product is actually quite good. I bought it recently and after having numerous disappointments with other masks, after using this my skin felt a lot smoother. Also, my skin (which was prone to breakouts after using masks) not only stayed clear, but also its tone somehow became noticably brighter.

The only problems I can find with the product is the packaging, which put too much of the mask into one packet, as well as the price (which for 8 packets... does stretch the bank balance a bit)

I plan on buying this product again (perhaps after my next pay check) =P

I found this product three years ago. I bought it and used it along with Moist Charge pack. Black heads disappeared within 1-2 months! It worked wonders until Fancl repackage and came out with the new improved version of this product. It doesnt work anymore and the worst is, I couldnt find Moist Charge pack mask anymore. I will still try this product for the next 2 months and will post a review again.

This is a deep cleansing mask for blackheads and pore refining. It's a green cream that you rub it on, leave for a few minutes and then rinse off. There are 8 packs per box and 1 pack is for one use, but I only use it for my nose and find 1 pack too much so it takes me 3 times to finish up 1 pack. This mask says to contain highly absorbent coral powder, which effectively disolves and removes dirt and excess oil from pores. It claims to soften blackheads and makes them easier to remove as well as prevent the formation of blackheads. I don't find it all that effective. Sure it does clean up the pores a bit, but as a specially formulated mask for blackheads, it only works pretty much the same as the Borghese Active Fango Mud. Will not buy again.
