I hope your starting your week right, today I will be reviewing a product I bought from Marukai. For those who doesn't know what Marukai is. It's a supermarket specializing in all things Japanese from food, some household items items, some skin care and make up. We have a few branches throughout Southern California.
I have heard of this place for a while but has only visited a store now. Because The branches are mostly scattered throughout LA or San Diego.

Product review:
First time I used this I took a small amount and spread it on my nose and a little bit in the cheek area. I have large pores and the product emphasized the pores and did not fully cover them. I struggled a little bit trying to get a good amount of product on my nose and cheek area.
I waited 10 mins if not more for it to dry. You just peel off the product. I did not find that it took a lot of my white head. I don't think it cleaned out my pores as well.

- The product is hard to work with. It's had to spread across the face evenly.
- You need a lot of the product
- Did not clean out my pores at all
- Can only be purchased at marukai stores online at sasa.com and marukai.com
I was very disappointed with this product. I had high hopes that it would be a cheaper alternative to the constricting pore strips. But it didn't do anything for my whiteheads. I especially placed a thicker coat hoping that it will work better but it didn't.
