Great for Sensitive Skin!
My SIL has been telling me for over a year that I have to try the Konjac sponge.  Recently, the opportunity came up to purchase this one for a discounted price in exchange for an honest review and I jumped at the opportunity.  I had just gotten over being sick which had left my skin in terrible shape, sensitive and broken out, and I thought it would be a great chance to really see what the Konjac could do.  I used it exclusively, without additional cleansers, twice a day for one week and overall I'm happy with it.  The packaging says this sponge can be used on face and body but I only used it on my face.  I would get a second sponge to use on my body if I wanted to use it for both and I'm planning to do that.<br /><br />PROS:<br />--It's super soft, gentle doesn't even begin to describe how soft this is on the skin.  It's even gentle enough to use on the sensitive skin right around the eyes.<br />--It's easy! The instructions are simple and you don't even need to use any additional cleansers (but you can use your favorite cleanser if you want to).<br />--It comes with a built-in hanging string so you can hang it up and allow it to dry well in between uses.<br />--It's the perfect size for face or body and fits well in your hand; not too big so that it's awkward and not too small so you can't get a good grip on it.<br />--It does not irritate sensitive skin. (Yes, I would know!)<br />--Is not drying.<br /><br />CONS:<br />--By day 3 and 4, I felt like I needed a bit more exfoliation in typical areas such as around the chin and nose. (I usually use a linen cloth with a gentle cleanser and that does the job well).  I felt like the Konjac needed a bit more if it were going to the sole product for cleansing.<br /><br />When the week was up, my face had really settled down and was much improved with a decrease in redness. Success! I'm going to keep it in the rotation with my other products but I won't continue using it exclusively.  My next step is to use it with my regular cleansing products and see how that goes.  I'll also continue to use it at times when my ultra-sensitive skin needs a break from products or medications.
