Bought with my own money
Long time ago, when I started to get intrest in korean skincare, Skinfood was the brand I wanted to try everything from. I remember one of their most popular products were wash off masks. Of course I wanted them all! And slowly, when K-beauty was more available in my country I started to collect them all. One of the wide selection is this Egg Pore wash off mask.
This one contains Egg Albumen (derived from egg whites) as main ingredient, It suppose to penetrate deeply into pores and eliminate pore-clogging impurities, promoting firmer skin and smaller pores. Unfortunately it contains alcohol and fragrance. The scent is soo strong, when putting it on the skin and even stronger when washing it off. The texture is very thick.
My experiance
I don't like this one. The biggest issues are texture and this awful scent. First, the texure is very thick. It's hard to put on with silicon mask brush, but with hands it's no different. I prefer brush because of sanitation, but in this case it's very hard. When it dries, it's also very hard to wash off. I needed to spend some extra time, making sure everything is gone. Additionally, it has very strong, perfume scent. You notice it when putting on, but it gets stronger with washing off. It's very present and I simply don't like it. But! after washing it off my skin was clean and soft. I didn't notice any huge improvement in pores visibility but I think it was good cleaning them.
Overall, I won't recommend it at all.
Recently, I have been seeing some new reviews of this on TikTok and Instagram. The showed texture is completely different from mine. I went to official Skinfood website and the ingredient list is different. So I guess they reformulated this mask. I hope the new one is better, but I won't be getting it.
