myHomeBody Natural Konjac Facial Sponges - for Gentle Face Cleansing and Exfoliation - with Activated Charcoal and Aloe Vera, Set of 4

When I opened the package I was surprised since the sponges felt like styrofoam. After rinsing in water they became soft with just enough coarseness to gently exfoliate. My face feels soft and smooth. Highly recommended this product for older skin.

It’s hard when you get them but when you add water, they’re so soft

The good: This is a fantastic sponge and I love the way my face feels after using it.The not-so-good: Durability is mixed. I expect a sponge to last a few weeks. The first two I used were good for about 6 weeks, the next one had an air bubble and lasted about 2 weeks, then the next was good for only 3 uses. I had already ordered a new box by then, same inconsistency.I don’t know if this problem is with all konjac sponges or just this brand. It’s a great sponge, just mixed durability.

These are perfect for exfoliating the face. They are more gentle than a traditional loofa.

I love it. The perfect size, the curvature makes it easy to get around my nose. Highly recommend.

I have been using konjac sponges for about 20 years now. It's my essential beauty tool and I cannot live without it. I have bought many different brands, but the best is definitely Boscia, which is sold at Sephora. However, Boscia costs $15 each so I started looking elsewhere and tried some on Amazon. This one probably is the most legit konjac sponges considering its quality and cost. One costs only 2-3 bucks!Some cheap konjac sponges are not even made with real konjac although they claim to be. The texture is rough and doesn't make my skin smooth. However, this product is soft and exfoliates my skin pretty well. I'm not sure if it's really 100% konjac knowing Boscia's quality, which is made from 100% konjac, but it's good enough that I have been sticking with this for a while now.The reason why I'm giving this only 3 starts is that the significant difference between green sponges and black ones. First of all the size is different - black is smaller than green, which isn't the issue. But the quality of green ones is definitely lower than black. Green ones are rougher and I can't feel much exfoliation that I feel with black ones. Many brands have different colors claiming that black has charcoal, green has green tea or aloe vera, red has clay and whatnot, but I personally have never felt or seen any different result between colors so I believe it's just their way to attract more consumers. Having said that, I'm sure the quality difference between greens and blacks isn't because they are made from different ingredients. I wish this package only contained black ones.

Only regret is I ordered the teardrop shape sponge and they sent me the dollop shape. BUT, i tried Gwenyth Paltrow's GOOP face cleanser gel on the sponge and it suds up quickly. The sponge didn't hurt my skin and I was able to use it longer than I would a washcloth (which scratches). It takes a while to dry...nearly 12-14 hours so I don't know how a person is supposed to use it 3 times a day (info says to only use it when it's fully dry)..albeit when it's fully dry you add water to make it soft again. Anyway, I only tried it once and I liked the feel and it got my face really clean ...i believe because it didn't hurt so i was able to scrub longer. sponge has no odor and feels like a natural sponge.

These work great and last a while!
