I HAD HIGH EXPECTATIONS WHEN I ORDERED THIS DUE TO THE MANY PEOPLE THAT RAVE ABOUT THIS PRODUCT. I HAVE VERY LARGE PORES ON MY NOSE AND THEREFORE A LOT OF BLACKHEADS FORM. I HAVE TRIED USING THIS MULTIPLE WAYS: SWIPE WITH A COTTON PAD, SOAK MY NOSE IN IT AND USE A CLAY MASK, USE AFTER TONER WITH FINGERS, ETC. BUT I HAVEN'T NOTICED ANY BIG DIFFERENCES. THIS STINGS A LITTLE UPON FIRST APPLICATION, BUT OTHERWISE GENTLE. BUT FOR THE PRICE I EXPECTED A LOT MORE THAN JUST A THICKER-THAN-WATER ESSENCE-TYPE OF SKINCARE. THE BOTTLE IS ALSO BORDERING SMALL WITH ONLY 100ML. I THINK I WILL TRY SOME OF THEIR OTHER PRODUCTS INSTEAD.
