Innisfree Jeju volcanic black head out balm

Innisfree Jeju volcanic black head out balm. It's a more natural company that uses volcanic ash of the main ingredient. All the products are recyclable and good for the environment. The are derived from Japan.
Claims:
Jeju volcanic ash absorbs sebum and melts black head with oil massage.
Balm type that turns to smooth oil by temperature with massaging.
Melts black head, oxidized sebum, to offer deep cleansing for clean skin.
Essentially this product is made to melt into your pores and remove excess dirt and oil that makes them appear larger.
You supposed to grab a small amount and rub that in to the pores from 3 to 5 minutes warming up the balm into an oil. Then rinse with warm water.

 what this does for my pores is Remove excess oil and dirt. It does feel really weird but it makes sense. It's like if you want to really cleanse your face using oil first helps softened skin pull up dirt. As for black heads, they were easier to extract and if removed with a tripling cleanser, the pores feel fresh and clean. Do you need this no. but it I fun and it helps if you suffer from access oils.

Vasanti BrightenUp! Enzymatic Face Rejuvenator Review

So I got this in my birch box.
4.23oz for $34
what it claims:

This powerful exfoliator mimics the results of professional microdermabrasion, minus the potential for redness and sensitivity. First, papaya enzymes break down dead cells while evening out your skin tone. Next, dermatologist-approved microderm crystals fade the appearance of fine lines and acne scars, leaving skin smooth and free of imperfections. Finally, aloe vera, coconut, and vitamins B and E nourish fresh skin to keep it free of irritation.

For those who don’t know much on the concept of derma-abrasion it’s essentially making small cuts in the skin to allow new fresh skin to take its place allowing the production of collagen and age reversing cells to float to the top, also allowing more access to blood.

For me I did feel it working, I did feel it taking off the dead skin and making small but not painful removal. It contained super small granules that really did the work. The reason why I’m not too happy is the after affects. It claims to be non-irritating but I get small red bumps. Sometimes more acne appears and I personally don’t like that but I still try to use this once a week as a deep exfoliator. If you have dry skin and you have an exfoliator do follow this with a serum or facial oil of your choice and then a moisturizer. This s is because the oils will help your skin repair itself, and still breathe. Because I know those who have dry skin tend to use heavy moisturizers that sometimes do worse.

Would I recommend this?

            Maybe, it depends on you, if you need a good exfoliator this is one but I can be a little harsh. Plus there’s a more affordable option called Saint Ives apricot scrub/ green tea that does the same thing only with bigger granules that don’t cause as much irritation, and it smells delicious.
