Hi
I have been loving my Clarisonic for deep cleansing my face so much but recently after using it every night for almost a year I noticed my skin has become very irritated.So I stopped using it every night and switch to the softest brush but still my skin didn't like it anymore.The reason is that I have super sensitive skin and I can't manually put so much pressure on my skin.I even switch to AHA & BHA for exfoliating instead of manual scrubs.So I had to retire my Clarisonic,at least for now.
Then I heard good things about this all natural sponge (The Japanese Kojnac Sponge ) So I was very interested to see how this would work for me.
The Company(japanesekonjacsponge.com) sent me 3 of these sponges to try and review.They were kind to let me choose the one that I was more interested in (I am not sponsored by them and don't get any benefit from their sale) Now let's begin:
This is what company claims:
Thoroughly cleanses skin poresRemoves dead skin cells, blackheads, dirt & oil
Hydrates skin & balances pH
Eliminates excess sebum
Gently exfoliates skin
100% natural, sustainable & bio-degradable
No toxic & harmful chemicals
Animal & cruelty free
GMO Free
Excellent for all skin types including sensitive skin
Suitable for everyone from babies, women and men
Here is my thoughts:
I chose the cherry blossom puff which is supposed to be good for sensitive skinBamboo charcoal puff good for acne prone skin
Green tea puff for radiant skin
The one I have been using is Cherry blossom .
Japanese Konjac Sponge |
The puff is a hard small sponge . you should soak the sponge in warm water for a few seconds or rinse it(Which is what I do)under warm water for a few seconds to soften it.after absorbing water it becomes very soft and also expand a little .

Japanese Konjac Sponge wet |
The texture is very soft. It is not harsh on the skin at all.
It absolutely cleanse my face deeply and leaves my skin very soft.I don't feel that it hydrate my skin
how ever It doesn't make it feels dry and uncomfortable either.
I think it gently exfoliates since it leaves my skin very soft but I don't consider it an exfoliator.I still apply my AHA and BHA twice a week for exfoliating.
Even though it is very soft , still for my super sensitive skin not soft enough to use it every night.
After the first week I felt I should use it less and now I only use it once a week for deep cleansing .
For normal skin it should be fine to be used every night.
In conclusion, I think this is a good product with a very reasonable price and if you are looking for something that cleans you skin more than your hands alone and exfoliate gently this sponge is worth trying .It is easy to use, it is all natural and easy to take with you when you are travelling .
Considering the good price it is easy to replace also.
You can purchase them from their website japanesekonjacsponge.com,There are different choices and the price is 11.50 $.
I hope this review helps.
