You can believe the claims on the packaging of Kose Seikisho Mask White that this mask unclogs pores, remove dirt and impurities to thoroughly clean skin and help reduce black pores.  I’ve used it and it indeed removed the blackheads around my nose and the pores on my face also looked a lot cleaner.  In fact, I actually thought my skin looked clearer and more radiant after using this peel off mask.  (It could be imaginery though, so I can’t swear on that.)

Despite the face primers and make up bases that I already have, I still couldn’t resist getting this Sana Pore Putty Make Up Base with SPF17 PA++ at Nishino in Mediya.  It’s Japanese for one and the other is that it promises to give me poreless skin with even skin complexion, covering up blackheads, spots and discolouration.
