I love love love these Konjac sponges. They don't look like much when you first open the packet but I am in love with them. I have this in charcoal, red clay and pink clay I think it is called. I was lucky enough to get these for $10 each and I have been getting some really good results. If you do have bad breakouts, it probably won't get rid of them with just water but if you add your normal acne fighting cleanser to it, it will do the trick, this is what I do with mine. The texture is like a sea sponge, super soft and squishy, it feels heavenly and I love it so much I just end up massaging into my face for a long time and have to stop. Its small enough and compact enough if you want to take it with you if you go away anywhere. Simple to use, easy to dry, as you just rinse when finished using, and then air dry it. They last for about 3 months, but if you really look after it, it can last for a lot longer than that. So for the price and the results it gives you, definitely worth it.

Reviews
I purchased this product after hearing that it does wonders for your skin - including dealing with breakouts, blackheads and whiteheads. I was told that you need to soak it in lukewarm water until it was soft and could be used without scratching the surface of your skin. It feels absolutely amazing after being soaked - and even better when you're massaging your face with it. After I had used it the first time, I was amazed at how soft and supple my skin felt. It had cleaned all the built up oil off my face but at the same time, my skin still felt hydrated and not dried out. I also love how they sell different ranges according to your skin type. If you are looking for a natural and effective way to cleanse your skin, definitely give this one a go!
Tips: Always leave this out to air dry in a well ventilated area after each use, otherwise it will ruin very quick
I was really disappointed in this product as I feel it doesn't do what it says it will. I don't think it cleanses, exfoliates and moisturises all in one at all.
I tried this without using a cleansing product and the results were just shabby, I recommend using a cleanser with it, which to me defeats the purpose of the sponge entirely. My face didn't feel or look clean after use when used alone.
I do like the way it feels against my skin, nice and soft. I also like using a product to apply cleanser to my skin, rather than just my fingers, it just feels better to me, but I wouldn't bother with this sponge again, especially for the price of it.
I absolutely love my sponge. I have the small sponge in blueberry which has antioxidants and collagen. I was really skeptical when I first saw this product at an expo but I was offered $5 off so I figured why not. I have found that my skin is so much softer after using my sponge and it visibly reduces my blackheads. I've noticed that if I don't use it my skin is noticeably duller and my black heads return. I've now had mine for a month and apparently it should last 2-3 months if cared for properly. I will definitely be purchasing another one.
Tips: I have heard people have found theirs disintegrate after a few weeks, my trick is to make sure you squeeze (don't twist) the excess water out of it and then hang to dry.
After the first use my skin was GLOWING. I had recently done a nose strip for my blackheads, they usually come back after a couple of days but its been a week and i still don't have any! I bought the charcoal sponge and i love it. I use it with water alone after removing all of my make up.
I have been using the Charcoal grey sponge for 3 weeks now and I have to say, it is incredible! I have really oily skin and from the first week I noticed a decrease in oilyness on my T Zone. I shower at night and now wake up in the morning with normal skin (instead of a complete oil slick), and even during the day I think my face produces less oil. I have yet to see a massive reduction in pore size, but I am hopefuly this will happen with continued use. I use it 50/50 with my normal cleanser or on its own.
Tips: Make sure you sqeeze all the water out before hanging it up to dry - I leave mine in the shower and it tends to stay damp (it was damp when I took it out of the package) but the more water you can get out of it the better. Still not sure if there is a difference between the flat side and the round side?
My oh my was I excited to try this sponge; I had read and heard such wonderful things about this innovative product I just had to give it a go. I purchased the charcoal sponge that was the best fit for my combination skin.
Firstly I found that using this product on its own with no cleanser did not work very well for me, I didn’t get that clean feeling that I am used too. When I used with a cleanser I found it worked very well at exfoliating my skin by removing dead skin cells and also leaving it clean and supple.
The sponge has an interesting texture, very squishy and collagen-like if that makes any sense! I really enjoyed the way it felt against my skin and found that I used the rounded side for cleansing all over my face and the corners for cleansing around my nose.
After a solid months use I noticed that my blackheads/whiteheads were slowly disappearing and that my pores were perhaps a tiny bit smaller and less noticeable. My T Zone was less oily than usual and my skin just generally felt heathier.
I think the biggest benefit with this product is that you tend to wash your face for longer and more thoroughly when you are using a product to aid in cleansing. When using my hands to cleanse my face it is easy to give your face a quick once over and rinse, when using a sponge I noticed that I definitely paid more attention to my face and particularly areas on my face where dead skin builds up.
Highly recommended, easy to use and an effective
Tips: For the first few weeks I completely stopped using my exfoliator which I usually use 3 times a week. I found although the sponge is exfoliating it did not replace my exfoliator so I used them in conjunction with one another and found this gave the best results.
I love konjac sponge Been using for a few months now and when i firs ever started using It made my skin feel this supple clean hydrated feeling i had never felt for a very long time as i am quite old an my skin is getting on ;) So i had gotten me 4 sponges 2 green and 2 blacks Im currently using the green one and its awesome I use with any face wash im using at the time and helps exfoliate my skin gently and. Helps cleansers to work better :) yay winning all round
Tips: Soak sponge for a few mins in water Squeeze out and buff away :)
I received my Konjac Sponge about a week ago and I can already see the results, I go the collagen sponge, because fine lines are starting to appear and I look older than I am. My skin is softer, and my skin is starting to glow, next time I think I'll get one to work on the redness of my skin, hopefully that one will work as well as this one has.
Tips: I cleanse first then use the sponge to lift off all those dead skin cells. Make sure you take you sponge out of the shower and hang it somewhere to dry otherwise it wont last as long.
I bought the natural Konjac sponge after seeing ridiculously amazing reviews online and after using it for a while I have to say I think they may be a little over hyped.
In saying that, I did really love it when I first purchased it but only in combination with my regular cleanser. The sponge itself is actually hard like pumis, but softens up when you wet it. It offers a really gentle exfoliation but like I said, I had to combine it with my cleanser to get the results I was after.
If you have fairly normal skin, don't suffer many breakouts and aren't looking for a super thorough cleansing then this product would probably be amazing for you - particularly people who are concerned with natural skincare or maybe an older lady who doesn't want to be using anything that might age her skin.
I probably wouldn't repurchase this only because I found as it wore down I began to see less results, alongside the fact that it didn't really do what it said (cleansing without use of additional cleansing products)
