It's truly impressive!
ConsHowever, if you try to forcefully remove impurities by rubbing too hard, it can lead to inflamed acne and skin irritation. So sad!
TipRemember to be gentle when using this product to avoid aggravating your skin. Proper application is key to achieving the best results without causing unwanted reactions.

ConsWhen used alone, it's not quite as effective at removing sebum. It works better when paired with a cleansing device.
TipFor optimal results, consider incorporating this product into a comprehensive skincare routine that includes both manual and device-assisted cleansing methods.

While nose packs can be pricey for frequent use, investing in a sebum softener is a smart choice. It lasts longer and can be used not just on your nose, but also on your forehead and chin. I highly recommend getting one! When used, it leaves your skin feeling smooth, and its effectiveness rivals that of nose packs. That's why I make sure to use it at least once a week!
ConsNo matter how gently you try to remove softened sebum, there's bound to be some irritation. However, this product caused less irritation than others! For those with super sensitive skin, I recommend using it once every two weeks.
TipHow to use a sebum softener: [Before showering] 1. Cleanse your face thoroughly 2. Apply the sebum softener to your nose using a cotton pad 3. Wrap with plastic wrap and wait 5-10 minutes 4. Remove and take a shower (make sure to wet your face thoroughly!) 5. After showering, use an extraction tool to gently remove blackheads (deep cleaner recommended) 6. Rinse with water 7. Replenish moisture where blackheads were removed (aloe mask recommended) [After showering] 1. Apply the sebum softener to your nose using a cotton pad 2. Wrap with plastic wrap 3. Dampen a face towel and microwave for 1 minute 4. Place the warm face towel over the plastic wrap and let it soften for about 5 minutes 5. Use an extraction tool to gently remove blackheads 6. Rinse with water or use a cleansing oil 7. Replenish moisture where blackheads were removed Blackhead management tips: • Use a sebum softener once every 1-2 weeks • Use a physical sunscreen (I highly recommend this! I always used chemical sunscreens, but after switching to physical, I noticed less sebum production. Not only did my blackheads improve, but my overall skin condition got much better!) • Use a clay mask 1-2 times a week • For combination skin, use separate creams for T-zone and U-zone (especially for nighttime creams, it's better to use different ones!) I used to have really bad blackheads, but they've improved significantly with consistent care! I'm sharing these little tips I've gathered from personal experience.

I feel like it helps soften my skin a bit.
ConsI don't have any major complaints. There's a slight tingling sensation that can feel a bit intense, but it should be fine if you keep the application time short.

My oily areas are just around my nose, and when I soak those spots and then wipe, it's so satisfying!
ConsThe scent isn't the best... And it's a bit harsh on blemishes, which is unfortunately unavoidable.
TipHere's a tip: Soak a cotton pad and keep adding more product while you let it sit. This helps soften the skin even better.

It's more affordable than sheet mask versions, so I've been using it regularly. Applying it once or twice a week around the nose and chin areas, followed by proper oil and moisture balance replenishment, keeps my skin in great condition.
ConsI didn't experience any major issues. The scent might be a bit strong, but I feel other products were even more intense, so I'm quite satisfied with this one.
TipFor those with combination dehydrated skin or super sensitive skin, this product works hard to cleanse effectively without causing irritation. It helps manage blemishes and evens skin tone, leaving you with that coveted Inner Glow. Remember to follow up with a brightening moisturizer for best results!

I've never experienced such effective sebum softening with any other nose strips or pore treatments. You can actually see the whitened, softened sebum on the surface with your naked eye. • As shown in the photo, I was able to remove this much (I've colored the sebum area green just in case). With just gentle scraping using a pore extractor tool, without applying much pressure, I got this much out. Looking at the photo, you can see many of the smaller impurities have disappeared.
Cons• It doesn't remove very large or deep-rooted blackheads. However, I didn't want to force these out and risk irritation or enlarged pores, so I just gently scraped the surface. It seems like consistent care will be needed for those. • Even though I didn't scrape hard, the physical exfoliation still caused quite a bit of redness on my skin. It's best to quickly soothe and close the pores afterwards, whether by replenishing moisture or using a mask. + A day later, it looks like the blackheads have "revived" and increased again... Is this normal?
TipSoftening time: 15-20 minutes total Process: Apply cotton pads soaked in sebum softener -> Wrap with plastic wrap -> Cover face with a steamed towel, then remove * I used a pore extractor tool purchased from Daiso to scrape out the sebum. It works much better than cotton swabs for removing sebum and allows you to visually see how much you've extracted, which is nice.

It's best to use it once or twice a week, and after using it, you can achieve silky smooth skin. It's much more effective at drawing out sebum compared to other brands' products.
ConsIt does have a distinctive scent. Those who prefer fragrance-free products might find this disappointing.
TipApply a generous amount to prevent drying, and I recommend using thin cotton pads or single-use cotton pads for application.

I soaked the included cotton pad and placed it on my pores for about 15 minutes. Afterward, the sebum was literally softened up. Just wiping with a cotton swab made the sebum come out easily, and when I used the Ilso Sebum Remover together, it was so satisfying to see all that sebum coming out. It gently removes sebum without irritation, so even those with super sensitive skin can use it with confidence. After finishing with a cleanse, the area around my nose was noticeably smoother. This is a must-have item for your pore care routine!
ConsOne downside is that while it effectively removes sebum, it can easily build up again if you don't maintain a consistent routine. In other words, this product alone isn't enough for perfect sebum management. It's a bit disappointing that you need to combine it with regular cleansing and care to maintain the effects long-term. However, if you're willing to keep up with proper skincare, it's still a very satisfying product!
