Korean blackhead serum made of rice?

Hello hallowed S&B

My Instagram is aggressively marketing a serum that seems to magically remove blackheads when you rub it in. There seems to be multiple brands of it at once!

Im trying not to buy things this year, but my nose and chin really could do with a regular purge.

Does anyone know if these actually work please?!

Those adverts are ridiculous and they were doing the rounds last year as well - no it doesn’t work and it’s a rip off of another brand. Watch James Welsh he’s totally clued up about all of these scams: https://www.tiktok.com/@james_s_welsh/video/7541134629328227586?lang=en-GB

Meanwhile kaolin clay does work but not quite so dramatically .

Thank you for saving me from spending money on stupid things!

I know the temptation, believe me I do! Also I’m on steroids currently so my skin is breaking out and I have been thinking of how to switch up my routine, I totally get where you are coming from. If only eh?!

Don't buy it. I was persuaded by the adverts, it did nothing
