THE PRODUCT(S):
Tsaio Grapefruit Seed Pimple Cream: Smooth and creamy-like texture, this tightens and smooths pores without leaving the surrounding skin dry. (Note: There's no direct English translation and I tried my best to translate in a way that is actually understandable. It's a shame that Tsaio originated from Taiwan, where Mandarin is much more stronger than English hence, all descriptions are either in Mandarin or non-existent.)
This product has a fruit grapefruit scent upon breaking the seal open, and luckily, it didn't smell too overly sweet. If not, it would have felt as if I'm applying actual grapefruit on my skin instead.
VERDICT: The consistency of this product feels rich and creamy, but the texture is really light. It instantly dissolves and melts into my skin right immediately upon application. And to be honest, I've been religiously using this for quite a while now, but I've failed to see the pores on my nose looking tightened. It's almost as if I'm just applying moisturizer that is intended for the nose area.
Despite scientific research claiming that grapefruit helps in acne and pimple related skin issues, I actually didn't see much of a difference before, after and using this product at all. And I even took the trouble to religiously use it as soon as I feel any acne/pimple making a special appearance.
But then, I do have to be content with the fact that it didn't aggravate my already somewhat sensitive skin and made the acne/pimple even more troublesome to deal with. In fact, it's almost as if there's no significant improvement after using this product. Almost to the point that I simply stopped using it after a month of zero and negative results at all.
VERDICT: ✓
WHAT I THINK: Other non nose-pore tightening products probably worked better than this one.
