When we were little kids, My Mom used to tell us that we should invest in ourselves. That’s why we just finished our education, continue to learn new things and be an expert on it, and do it non-stop.
Because investing in ourselves means, no one will ever take it away from us.
And that includes investing in our beauty, both beautiful inside and out.
That’s why I am always in a constant search for new ways to make my beauty and youth stay with me longer than possible.
Because again as my Mom told us, there are no ugly people in this world….
The only lazy one.
That being said, I can’t be lazy! Hahaha
Weeks ago, Althea Korea had sent me one of their exclusive beauty boxes. And indeed I am so thrilled!
Because the name ALTHEA KOREA signifies amazing Korean beauty brands, that I could trust.
And I am always on the look for the best skin care beauty products on the market!
This exclusive beauty box #34 called Un-pore-gettable is a fully-curated skincare box intended to help customers achieve a clear and glowing face and minimizing those annoying pores. I have that issue so I was so excited to unbox and review this new favorite!

Innisfree Jeju volcanic pore care kit
Enriched with volcanic clusters and green complexes from pure Jeju island, this pore kit line helps control excessive sebum for soft skin. The kit contains Innisfree Jeju volcanic pore cleansing foam 10ml, Jeju volcanic pore toner 13ml, and 7-sheets of cotton.
Innisfree Jeju Volcanic Cleansing Foam (for oily to combination skin types)
This cleansing foam is infused with volcanic scoria that has amazing purifying properties, absorbing and controlling the excessive production of sebum on the skin without drying it out, leaving fresh, clean skin. It makes a luxurious foam it’s so much fun to let it stay on my face! I’ve used the cleansing foam kit for a week, and oh boy it always leaves me super cleansed-sebum-free fresh face.
This cleansing foam is also available in full size, 150ml.
This cleansing foam is also available in full size, 150ml.
Innisfree Jeju volcanic pore toner (for oily skin type)
It is a wipe-off toner that removes residues your cleaner left behind and controls excessive sebum secretion to keep your skin fresh and soft all day long. The toner contains a mineral powder that is effective in absorbing sebum but does not irritate the skin, especially for those with sensitive pores.
This cleansing foam is so good to use! It feels so refreshing and has that very mild soothing scent which I am not bothered by at all, and it’s okay to let the bubbly foam stays on me for a few minutes before rinsing. I prefer using warm water for rinsing to open up my pores and cleanse them easily.
Smells so fresh and with easy absorption. This pore toner also comes in full size, 250ml.
I find this Innisfree Jeju volcanic pore care kit very practical. If you are not yet familiar with Innisfree Jeju volcanic pore line, then this kit is perfect for you. This kit could be your 1-week of consumption and perfect to bring with you while on your busy travel overseas or anywhere.
Innisfree Super volcanic pore clay mask 100ml (for oily to combination skin types)
This 6-in-1 clay mask claims to minimize pores, control sebum, exfoliate, deep cleanse, brighten skin tone and cool down the skin. It contains volcanic extract and “supervolcanic capsules” that burst upon application, removing dead skin as it pampers your face with its goodness. It doesn’t contain mineral oils, animal products, artificial fragrances that would irritate your skin.
No wonder my colleagues at work swears the wonder of this volcanic pore clay. The clay is thick enough and easy to spread all over my face (though it doesn’t have a spatula). The instruction is leaving is on the face for 10-minutes, but I make it to 15-minutes while enjoying that feeling of tightness all over my face, and that tingling fresh, slightly cool sensation. It is truly enjoyable!
I rinse my face with warm water, and leaves a fresh brighter skin tone it is amazing! You should try it as well!
I think this combo will stay on my vanity table for a longer period until such time I discovered new skincare! For now, I love them all!
Laneige Powder Fit Cushion in No.23
I love the Laneige cushion because it perfectly blends on my skin. Though I don’t use it in my whole face, just enough touch-up on both my cheeks, which gives that smooth and soft-looking glow! I’ll make a separate review with this cushion, with my look-of-the-day photo :D
Klairs Supple Preparation Facial Toner, 30ml
This refreshing toner helps to remove excess dirt and sebum while restoring pH balance. I’ve used this for a week and I noticed a visible difference in my skin. My pores become tighter, acne scars fade faster, and my skin becomes brighter and more glowing!
Ri Re All Kill Pore Tightening Ice Stick
This pore tightening ice stick is so cool to use! It felt that icy-feeling that is very enjoyable and makes I pores tighter as well, perfect for this very humid temperature. This stick is also perfect if you have,
• Those who have lost skin vitality from enlarged pores
• Those with dark complexion from blackish pores
• Those with enlarged pores
• Those with oily skin from excessive sebum
• Those with sagging skin from excessive facial heat.
This pore tightening ice stick also provides dry and enlarged pores with cool and refreshing moisture in mineral-rich iceberg water from Iceland. It also tightens enlarged pores with tannin extracts from chestnut shells, Chinese pepper trees, and persimmon tree leaves.
How to use it: After cleansing my face and toning it, I rub the ice stick to my nose and cheek area, and also to my T-zone. I also rub it on my lid each time I have a sagging one, especially in the morning.
Always store it in the fridge for better use.
Commonlabs Mild Peeling Finger Pad
This pad is perf for taking your skincare routine with you wherever you are. Using this pad is much more hygienic than touching your face with unclean hands. This has a mild exfoliator that gently, and effectively removes dead skin cells and impurities. Just use gentle circular motions around your face, neck, and chest.
My Beauty Rice Sheet Mask
This box also contains this one rice sheet mask which I love. I’ve been using The Faceshop rice toner previously, and the nutrients that come from rice are very helpful for making my pores tighter, and my skin healthier.
I’ve also got these many face sheet masks, essences, and serum samples from Althea Korea. And if I like one of these samples, then I would order the full size!
After weeks of using these products, I’ve got.
Who wouldn’t want a happy face with clear skin, right?!

ReplyDeleteTry the face mask and the foam cleanser. They are so good! Innisfree never disappoints.
DeleteSounds like a very lovely pampering kit. I try to take care of my skin, but I probably don't do enough. My skin is becoming too dry, I need to start using masks.

DeleteI struggle with a large pores on the time. These look perfect to keep skin looking and feeling amazing. Great
ReplyDeleteHello Maritza,
DeleteTry these innistree combo, maybe it will help to address your pore problem :D
I think the most interesting thing I see here is the rice mask. I haven't ever heard of skin care made with rice! Fascinating.
ReplyDeleteOh it is considered basic beauty regimen in Japan, China and Korea. The rice water (yeah that same water when you washed your rice) is being used as cleanser and toner. Its natural bacteria is good for the skin, which leaves a healthy skin glow.
DeleteWe absolutely should invest in ourselves. I agree 100% on that. Beauty boxes make me happy. I've loved every one I've ever purchased and use everything in them.
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome and glad you love your beauty purchases. NO regrets!
DeleteYour mom's quote about lazy people made me laugh! I'd love to try a rice sheet mask!
