Konjac Sponge The Konjac Sponge

I purchased too of these at the recent Women's Expo. The charcoal one for my youngest daughter who has been having acne flare ups, and a sensitive one for me. My girl looked very skeptical when I gave her the one for her, and I could see her thinking "really mum?", however she gave it a go and is really pleased with the results. Her skin has cleared up really well and is now looking freash and calm. The one I got for myself is lovely too. I can't remember the name of the active ingredient but it's a type of clay. I usually don't like to exfoliate too much as it tends to aggravate my skin, but this magic little ball seems to cleanse and exfoliate to just the right level. I usually clean my make up off with a cleanser, and then use this for my second cleanse at night. I use it on its own, but my gitl uses hers sometimes with and sometimes without a cleanser. My skin looks softer and younger and it hasn't aggravated any sensitivities.

So this is a weird product... I initially thought what will this do for me that using a wash cloth doesn't do already. But I was still totally keen to try it!

When you initially take it out of the packaging it is a hard white round domed lump. It has a white string to it to help you hang it up as well (as it needs to dry out so it doesn't attract mould, yuck). It all just looks a bit weird to be honest. The instructions say to dampen it before using and once it is damp it has more of the consistency of a normal dishwashing sponge.

I have been using this with my normal cleanser and it does a great job at removing my makeup and making my skin extra clean. I really like that this is nice and gentle as well. It means I feel better about using this on a daily basis to exfoliate. It hasn't done anything miraculous to my skin but at the same time it hasn't broken it out either so overall I'm quite happy with this.

I think I will purchase one of these again. It is a nice step to my nightly skincare routine and something that I think helps my skin feel nicely exfoliated.

I absolutely love my Konjac sponge. it has a weird texture. It is in no way harsh on the skin like i thought it would be as when you first take it out of the packaging its very firm. I suffer from bad blackheads and this amazing sponge does wonders for my face! i use this sponge with and without a cleanser i find that it works fine with either. i would definitely recommend this to anyone and everyone!!! definitely going to buy another one soon.

Last year I was shopping on luxola(Sephora), and needed to fill the cart and brought it on a wim, I was thinking about whether I should buy a clarisonic for my skin but after watching some reviews and hearing comments on how it causes some people to break out. Decided to buy it. When you first use it soak in water for about 5 to 10 minutes to expand and soften. I love that you can use it with or without a cleanser.

I had heard about these but wasn't overly fussed about them, it was just a sponge and to me, sponges are used on your body not on your face. All of that changed when my skin expert and close friend told me that I *needed* to try it, and then another close friend agreed. Two against one, I caved, and it arrived a while later.

At first I was underwhelmed, as I thought it would be squishy and soft, but it was hard as a rock. Although, rubbing it on my face while it was like that was pretty nice so I was excited to use it. I took it into the shower with me and oh my lawd I saw the light!

The sponge turned into a lovely bunch of squish. I put my face wash on it and rubbed it around, and once rinsed off my face felt amazing. It was the best gentle exfoliation I've ever felt. My sponge however broke quite quickly, and I thought I was looking after it quite well, and I still haven't gotten around to repurchasing, but I really should. It was an amazing little thing and I'd gladly buy more.

I received the white coloured (collagen) one of these before Christmas when I first saw it there was no love at first sight, I didn't really even know what to do with it. It was just a hard dried up looking sponge it says before first use to soak it for 3-5 minutes, after letting it soak it almost became twice its size and looked like a sponge and feels kind of jelly like.

I start scrubbing my face and it feels amazing. Softer than a wash cloth but yet somehow my skin feels and looks so clean. I've been using this with cleanser and I swear it's the best my face has looked in a long time. My skin feels so soft and I seem to have less dry spots, but It hasn't broken me out either

This dome shaped gem is a bit smaller than the palm of your hand and has a small tie so you can hang it up while your not using it.

Before each use you have to run it under the tap or shower for a minute to let it get all soft and jelly like again. I got roughly 6 weeks use out of this before it was looking rather sad I did try to clean it once a week with antibacterial makeup brush cleaner to keep the germs at bay. Would I repurchase? Heck yes!! I reordered as soon as I threw the old one out. I really rate these sponges even more than the face brush that I loved.

I've seen these in the shops, heard about them, read the reviews, I'd even had one hidden away in the cupboard for months. Even so I never really felt like using it. It just seemed gimmicky and had no appeal. In my attempt to use up my stash of stuff I got this sponge out and started using it.

It starts out hard and dry but once wet is soft and almost jelly like. In the mornings I rub it wet over my face in circular motions without any cleanser. In the evening I do the same but add a cleanser to the sponge as well. It removes my make well (except for mascara which I haven't actually tried to remove using this). My skin is looking much clearer since using the sponge. It is also much smoother- more so than when I use a gritty exfoliant which is strange but amazing. I love that it's so soft against my skin and great alternative to an abraisive exfoliant. I love that it's a chemical free cleansing method, I have a body sponge too so can't wait to try that as well.

I had these in at work and they were selling like hot cakes! I thought to myself, there must be something about these things so I better grab one before they all went.

So happy I did. This little half round sponge starts off hard but once you wet it with warm water it turns into this gorgeous soft spongy bundle of loveliness.

Once your sponge is spongy you just wash your days make up off with a circular motion and hey presto, product free cleanser. Awesome.

Wash your sponge out and hang it with its little attached string ready for tomorrow's cleansing.

I definitely will be purchasing another one of thses little beauties.

Love this and have repurchased and gifted. Super soft yet exfoliating this sponge is great for any type of cleanser amd also reduces how much product you need. I like it has expiry and us made of natural fibres. Gifted to friends with highly sensitive skin amd roscea amd they love it.
