I have gotten these and used these…and they definitely clean out your pores - but it kinda hurts and it only cleans them for so long before they get clogged again. I think a nice clay or mud mask with and exfoliating soap is much better for your skin. They did do what they were suppose to - but I really think that they are harming your skin in the long run. And they don’t minimize your pores - they just clean them…so if you have big noticeable pores your will still have big and noticeable pores…they’re just cleaner
