Konjac Sponge Review

 Konjac Sponge

U've read beauty products reviews by female bloggers.
Showing their kawaii faces, before & after pics.

This post is counter to this norm.
I am going to review a beauty product.

Don't worry, I got no kawaii pics to show,
nor before & after pics coz they looked the same.
Sad case. LOL.

Okay Okay call me vainpot.
Modern men shld take care of themselves too.
ANd everyone washes face.
In my technical term, I just call it:
"washing with an equipment".


Top seller in Jap+Taiwan,
this sponge is made frm 100% natural vegetable called "konjac".
It purports to clean, exfoliate and moisturise the skin.

 Some of its features:
1) Gently exfoliates, thus bring out the shine (Kana "polished")
2) Clears blackheads, dirt, oil.
3) Balances skin pH.
4) Ideal for sensitive, hypersensitive skins.

They come in five colours (as far as I kw):
white, black, green, red, yellow.

What's the diff?

White Sponge:
Original ones.
For all skin type.

Charcoal Black Sponge:
For oily, spots, blackheads, outbreaks prone skins.

It has anti-oxidant, fights bacteria.

French Green Clay Sponge:
For normal to combination skin.

It's strong sterilization properties absorbs dirt, oil, bacteria.

Red Clay Sponge:
For dry, mature (oOps!) or sensitive skin.

Said to improve blood circulation.
With a higher presence of iron oxide,
it cleans and accelerates the regeneration process,
leaving skin look radiant, hydrated.
Best of all, it reduces wrinkles (matured skin).


Yellow Soil Sponge:
For pigmentated, freckles, dull skin tones, acnes.

Helps reduce pigmentation, even out skin tone.
It will give a soft glow to face.
Plus it will reduce appearance of acne.

surface of sponge

The sponge came tightly sealed with some water.
The texture is soft, and the surface slightly roughed yet not too "sandpaper".
Thus upon "polishing" on face,
impact is just nice.

Definitely, it is better than washing with bare hands.
Analogy to washing an orange,
it would be tedious to get rid of dirt inside the holes by hand washing.
Using sponge would.

After washing, can feel skin quite clean.

Kudos to Konjac,
amazingly skin appearances look better after weeks.

Personally I recommend the black charcoal,
as it clears blackheads, making pores look smaller.


Hmm... all this for a meager price of less than 5 bucks.
Each sponge can be used for 3 mths!


Available in three shapes:
Heart, hemisphere, tear drop.

I recommend the heart or tear drop,
as the surface is wider for yr hand to have a sufficient grip.

Of course, for those used liao still not enuff,
there are also body sponge for your whole body.

Now, time to scrub yourself for the new yr.

Highly recommended.
Hurry, grab yrs now!

Guys, to achieve Daniel Wu's face,
link this up with my previous post.
Use this before SKII men products for better absorption.

For Anthony Wong's,
maybe have to use the red ones.
