I find that the Control Cream works better for removing dead skin cells and excess sebum compared to peeling gels. After cleansing, I apply a generous layer of the cream and leave it on for about 3 minutes. Once the cream becomes transparent and you can see some moisture, I massage it for 1 minute. My esthetician told me that the foundation of skincare is cleansing and exfoliation, so I've been using this product once a week to remove sebum and dead skin cells. The change in my nose area, where blackheads are most visible, is really noticeable before and after using the cream. Sometimes, when I'm doing a facial massage, I even see large blackheads come out and stick to my fingers!
ConsThere's a slightly oily feeling when rinsing off at the end. I'm doing a double cleanse and separate skincare routine after using it.
TipAfter using the Control Cream, I make sure to follow up with a thorough skincare routine to tighten the pores where the sebum has been removed.

It leaves your skin feeling incredibly soft. There's definitely a reason why this product has stood the test of time.
ConsGiven its rich texture, it might not be suitable for those with oily skin. Also, since it requires quite a bit of rolling, people with sensitive skin might find it challenging to use due to the friction.
TipUsing this with the Merbie beauty device is absolutely fantastic. It not only exfoliates dead skin cells but also seems to improve skin texture and hydration!

Works wonders on those pesky whiteheads!
ConsIf used alone, skin feels slippery even after rinsing. Contains ingredients that may cause blemishes, so a second cleanse is absolutely necessary.
TipThe key is to apply generously and wait 20-30 minutes until it becomes completely transparent (all white parts must disappear, or it'll feel different when you rub). Massage the hardened sebum that comes out, then cleanse. Skin will definitely feel slippery, so follow up with a foam cleanser (essential). This helps remove even more sebum. Afterwards, you'll notice how incredibly smooth your nose feels.

At first, I thought the flaking was just the cream clumping, so I tried it on my wrist, but it didn't come off like it did on my face. That's when I realized it was actually my dead skin. After washing, my skin feels incredibly soft, just like a baby's skin!
ConsThere's absolutely nothing bad about this. It's entering my holy grail top list, it's that good!
TipWhen I use it before an important day, I wake up with honey-like skin the next morning!

The color is amazing. The instructions say to leave it on for 2-3 minutes and massage for 1 minute, but I apply it generously, leave it for 10-15 minutes until it turns transparent, then massage for about 3 minutes. Lately, I've been using it with Mervie for cleansing and massage. Highly recommended for dry skin. This will eradicate whiteheads. Be aware that using it this way might cause sensitivity, so I only do this once a week. After rinsing it off with just water (no cleansing foam needed), follow up with a nourishing sheet mask, and your face will have an Inner Glow. It's better than a one-time $50 treatment at a facial spa. You must try it!
ConsThe eye irritation is quite severe, making my eyes water, but I endure it because of the effectiveness.

This is your go-to product! I've been using this massage exfoliating cream since someone gave it to me in my 20s, and I'm still using it - that's how good it is! While it may not exfoliate as intensely as a peeling gel, it's effective for tackling blackheads and whiteheads. After use, your skin feels silky smooth with a beautiful glow. Even with my dry, dehydrated skin, it leaves my complexion nourished and balanced. If you have oily skin, I recommend patch testing first. The scent is reminiscent of old-school cosmetics - not the most pleasant, but it has that vintage 80s American beauty product vibe. I can't say for sure since my mom never wore makeup, but I imagine this is what it would've smelled like! Here's a pro tip: it's a secret weapon for those times when you haven't worn makeup in a while. You know how foundation can look patchy and uneven after a makeup hiatus? Massage with this beforehand, and your makeup will apply flawlessly. If you experience any tingling, don't leave it on too long - just massage and rinse off immediately. As someone with sensitive, acne-prone skin that's prone to irritation, I adjust the application time based on my skin's condition - sometimes 15 minutes, other times just 3-5 minutes.
ConsThere's nothing particularly bad about it. It's great value for money, and I've gotten used to the scent now!
TipApply the white cream and wait for it to turn clear before massaging. I've noticed the effect is reduced if there's moisture present, so I wouldn't recommend using it in the shower.

I bought it when it was all the rage, and it's so good that I've purchased 4 bottles and even gifted it to friends - it's that legit! Not only does it excel at removing dead skin cells, but it also clears out those stubborn blackheads on my nose. After using this, my skin feels incredibly soft and smooth. This is the ultimate solution for exfoliation and blackhead removal.
ConsThere's a slight skin irritation at first, but it seems to improve once you get used to the application method.
TipIt's crucial to wait until the formula becomes watery before massaging it in. If you don't, it might irritate your skin and do more harm than good. So remember, only start massaging when the texture becomes fluid-like.

ConsNot sure if it's particularly effective for blackheads

It's amazing! After applying and leaving it on for over an hour, gently massaging with your fingers makes both dead skin cells and sebum come out on their own. It's fascinating to see the blackheads on my nose and whiteheads on my chin just pop out effortlessly.
ConsBecause it becomes oily, it stings if it gets into your eyes and feels uncomfortable if not washed off with water. You need to be very careful around the forehead area and avoid the eye area completely.
TipYou need to leave it on for over an hour and massage thoroughly for the best results. I couldn't use exfoliators before because they made my skin tingle, but this isn't irritating, so I use it twice a week. It works even better if you apply a pore-tightening ampoule after removing the sebum.
