ILSO Super Melting Sebum Softener, Pore Cleansing Solution, Melts Away Blackheads & Sebum, Korean Skincare

This product really works. No weird scent and pain with pore removal. We use this on a weekly based!

Really works! I saw this on TikTok and wanted to give it a try. I struggle with sebaceous filaments and blackheads and have tried everything. I put this on a tissue and left it on my T-zone for 10 minutes. Smell is horrendous but it’s whatever. I used a metal scraper and was able to get so much sebum out! I had a control side and wet one side of my face with just water and used the tool and couldn’t get the same amount of stuff out. This product truly helped in loosening the sebum! Highly recommend using a metal blackhead scraper.

I saw absolutely no difference. It did not “melt” my sebum nor didn’t make it any easier to remove it. However, I really liked the gauze pads that came with it.

This product was quite popular on social media, so I decided to try it. It works well. I apply it with a cotton pad, leave it on for about 10 minutes, and then gently remove blackheads. I would say don’t use it too often, because my skin felt more sensitive afterward. Definitely follow up with a good moisturizer to repair the skin barrier.

Story time: a long long long time ago, one of my brothers 👀 and I were talking (he may not remember this) but it may have been an argument because our faces were close. He looks at my nose and says "omg brother the blackheads on your nose are huge" or something to that effect. It stayed with me and I've always been aware of it. I've "tried everything" and there was still always a problem with sebum build up in my pores. I saw a tiktok of a guy using this product and decided to try it given the reviews. I tried to do the honest thing and use his affiliate link but it wanted to charge me $25 shipping so I came straight to Amazon. This stuff is amazing!! I ordered this together with the scraper tool and the scraper came in first. I was impatient and used it alone and what came out is on the bottom cotton pad. The sebum softener came in the next day and I decided to still try it, not expecting much because of how much I got the day before. But WOW the top cotton pad is what I got after using the serum. My nose is smoother and my pores are getting smaller since using this. Don’t wait if you’re considering it!

I love this stuff, so glad I got it after seeing it online so much! I do sort of regret not getting the 3 item deal with the scraping tool, but I have a small plastic spatula like stick that I've been using. I personally found a cotton swab didn't do the trick. It does smell kind of weird, but it's not too bad and not unbearable. The item came properly packaged and sealed and was not damaged in transit.

This liquid does not work for me or may be I just do not know how to use it; even though I looked it up on how to use it on TikTok. I’ve placed it on my nose with and without thin cotton pads, I’ve left it soaking there for 5 minutes and 10 minutes, I’ve washed my face first and placed it on the nose area, I’ve steamed my nose. After the aforementioned, you supposedly grab the nose and rub until the gunk comes out. After rubbing, the whiteheads or blackheads are supposed to be seen on your fingers or somewhere smeared on your nose area. Well, nada. I only get a red nose. I even bought a Blackhead removal tool. The only thing that tool has done is scratch my nose and leave it worse than red. So this liquid is a NO for me. I’ll stick with my mud masks.

This has been a game changer for my skin. I tend to get a lot of sebum build up on and around my nose and no amount of cleansing, masks, or other treatments really made a difference. This sebum melting serum paired with the scraper has actually allowed for the white heads to be removed without damaging my skin or causing irritation. I use it once a week and have definitely seen an improvement. This will be part of my routine for the foreseeable future.
