Alive:lab Cotton Candy Ball

I love cute, colourful packaging and Alive:lab has a bunch of cutesy, colourful packaging in their skincare line, from serums to exfoliator, everything looks quite eye-catching in terms of design and colours. As expected from a korean skincare brand, they also incorporates a lot of natural ingredients in their skincare line. I was kindly asked to pick a product in exchange for a review and since I'm constantly battling blackheads and clogged pores I decided to try out their Cotton Candy Ball exfoliator.

These cute looking cotton balls are drenched with  pure AHA solution and they are definitely stronger than my usual exfoliating toner. The texture of my skin, especially on my nose and chin areas where there's a lot of clogged pores look much more smoother after using it. I only use them 3 times a week, any more than that I'll run the risk of over-exfoliating my skin as it does cause a slight burning sensation when I use it too frequently. 

This is great for clearing out clogged pores and build-up sebum, making my skin feel much more smoother, however it doesn't seem to work much on stubborn blackheads on it's own, though it does makes it easier to pull off blackheads with pore strips after using it. Overall it's a decent exfoliator and I love the overall packaging. If you don't mind fragrance in skincare, this is definiely worth a try!
