Thoughts: I've heard great things about Konjac Sponges. When I saw PHAMExpo had a booth with Konjac Sponges, I had to grab one. Out of all the Konjac Sponges, this intrigued me since it's good for dehydrated skin.

Here's how the sponge looks as soon as I took it out of the package.

Here's how the sponge looks after I get it soaked.

Now for my overall opinion... First of all, there's no scent whatsoever. I also need to be honest. This isn't actually my first Konjac Sponge. This is my second. The first was pureSOL Konjac Facial Sponge with Added Bamboo Charcoal. I purchased this before I used the pureSOL. Secondly and unlike the first Konjac Sponge, the sponge comes out moist. I thought that was the size it increases to when it's soaked. I was wrong. When you soak the sponge, it gets bigger. Once it dries, it becomes rough like a rock. That was how the first Konjac Sponge was as well. Third, it's extremely easy to use. It feels like you're washing your face with a sponge. The first week I used it alone with no cleanser. The weeks after I used with a cleanser. I find it easier to use with a cleanser. It breaks down the steps making it one less. Okay, I admit it I'm just lazy. Lastly, my skin felt clean and smooth. The main purpose of this sponge is to hydrate or help in that area. I didn't notice the difference before and after the sponge. My skin felt the same. On the other hand, it didn't dry out my skin. I did notice my face felt cleaner especially around the nose area. I have huge pores and blackheads. It helped but didn't completely get rid of my blackheads.

Pros:
* Cute packaging; pink heart.
* No scent.
* Easy to use.
* Can be used alone or with a cleanser.
* Not harsh on the skin.
* Did not dry out the skin.
* Skin felt cleaner.
* Less noticeable pores around the nose.
* Biodegradable.
* Balances skin pH.
* Chemical & preservative Free.

Cons:
* Did not hydrate the skin.

Would repurchase: No.
