The Japanese Konjac Sponge - Citrus Fruits Natural Facial Cleanser Review

Hello Everyone! Today, I want to talk with you about a new facial sponge I had the chance to try. I reviewed a sponge a couple of weeks ago, but this sponge however is a little different. This is the Citrus Fruit Konjac Sponge. As you can see up top this is a picture of what the sponge looks like inside of the box.

The Product/The Review

This is what the sponge looks like before wet

Product Description: "The Japanese Konjac Sponge - Citrus Fruit Konjac Puff is an excellent facial cleansing sponge in Fall & Winter seasons. The Japanese Citrus Fruit (Yuzu) Konjac Puff is made by adding Citrus Fruit extract to the Konjac mixture. The Japanese Citrus Fruit Essence is used in cosmetics and soaps as a humectant to keep skin hydrated, moist and soft. As a result, this Konjac Puff helps to retain moisture to the skin even in dry cold seasons."

What the product looks like when wet

My Thoughts: They make several different kinds of sponges for all different face types. I decided to choose this sponge because it was specifically designed for dry skin. When I first opened the product I didn't notice a citrus smell, in fact it didn't have much of a smell at all. Once I got it going and it expanded I first tried it on my face without cleanser, and it did a really great job of cleaning my face. It also made it super smooth and worked great at exfoliating it. When I tried it with my cleanser though not only did it exfoliate (I use Alpha Hydrox cleanser), it took off every bit of my makeup off. What I am most impressed with though is how smooth my face is. It gave me a very thorough clean as well. I am so glad I got to try this product, and I can't wait to see how the other ones compare to it. So far though I would have to say this has been my favorite facial sponge I have tried so far. 

If you wish to buy this sponge you can purchase it for $11.65 with free shipping at Amazon located here or go to their official website located here.
