AMAKI SKINCARE Konjac Sponge Facial Cleanser with Added Green Tea and Activated Bamboo Charcoal-Sensitive to Oily and Acne Prone Skin Gentle Face Scrub, Face Sponges for Cleansing and Exfoliating

I LOVE these sponges. They have changed my entire manscaping life. Face, body, nether regions, if it gets shaved, I use these sponges on it first. Virtually eliminated my nightmare of razor bumps and ingrown hairs on soft sensitive skin. And a game changer for my facial exfoliation routine. Absolutely will not live without these now that they are in my life. The green tea one does have a strong scent to it; not bad, per se, but almost a “burnt” undertone to it (not so much with the charcoal one, oddly enough). Let’s just say I chose to use that one on my face so it didn’t leave that ‘interesting’ scent anywhere that I prefer to smell more ‘fresh’. I microwave them between uses to disinfect and so far they’re still holding up well after a few weeks worth of washes.

Kind of had a weird initial smell to them that went away quickly and also a really weird texture that I wasn't expecting. It definitely didn't get my mascara off without using soap, so they didn't really work well for me over all, but I still have them and would use them again if i needed a quick scrub.

I love everything about these, I just wish they were a little bit bigger. From the pictures in the product description I expected them to be a bit larger. They are about twice the size as a fifty cent piece, so while they are good for getting into small spaces like the corner of your eyes and creases like that, I find it kind of difficult to hold them. I have carpal tunnel and I would rather not have to squeeze my hand so tight to hold them. Also, if I wanted to wash my body with these, I'd run out of hot water before I could finish. I thought about buying another larger one, but then I really didn't want to have two separate sponges to find a place for and keep track of. I'll wait til this one needs to be replaced and then look for one that is 2 or 3 times the size.

I've used up the charcoal black sponge. It lasted a while and I only threw it out because I got gifted a new one. I like how gentle it is. I used it twice a day and it wasn't irritating at all, even around sore acne. Its good for daily gentle exfoliation. I use it with a mild chemical exfoliant (stridex) daily and it works together well. I think these are more dense and nicer than the other brand of sponge I have so I can't wait until I've gotten my use out of the gifted one to go back to this brand. My only qualm is that if I haven't used this sponge in a while, it takes a little while for it to soften and soak up water.

You can't really get a good grip on these because they're small. They're also really thick so they take a long time to dampen under the sink and an even longer time to dry out. I don't reach for these sponges ever, despite looking at it on my bathroom mirror every day.I decided to try these because they're cheaper than some of the other options on Amazon, but I'll be going back to the MY Konjac Sponge brand after this.

I like these sponges and feel they work great on my skin. I've bought them a couple of times. However, this time I got to use the black sponge ONCE and then the next time it just fell apart in my hands. I did nothing different to it. Used it once for my face and then hung it up in the shower to dry and it simply disintegrated. The green one has lasted a couple of weeks so far. But now that this happened, I am hesitant to order more.

The exfoliation is so safe/gentle and I feel like it really ensures that my face is clean.I don't think the added charcoal/green tea etc. really helps with breakouts but I wasn't expecting that in the first place from a 4 dollar sponge.I used it one or two times per day for a few months, and there are some huge rips and general degradation but I definitely plan on ordering more!Even after such a brief time using a konjac sponge, I find it hard to imagine my skincare routine without it! It especially helps when I'm washing off face masks.P.S. The suction cup is useless and falls off everything after 2 minutes, but hey, it was free. Whatever. I used my own hooks that were attached to the wall.

I do a happy dance every morning since I started using these little sponge cleansers. They have worked wonders on my skin. I use nothing on my face now except for a simple face wash followed by these sponge cleanse and then some cetaphil baby lotion. My skin has never felt so good. Also, I have no acne now (I had terrible acne issues)If you have not used these, I would definitely recommend you to give it a shot. You won't be disappointed. I must add, every skin is different so make sure you test it first and see how your skin reacts if you have sensitive skin. Last but not the least, I love these tiny things!
