Goodbye blackheads – Ciracle Blackhead Off Sheet review

Written By Jenny Wu on

In my February Beauty Favorites post I mentioned that blackheads were my worst enemies, so naturally I invest extra in products that claim to get rid of these nasty buggers. Today I’ll be reviewing a product I shared in my Korean skin care wishlist post – the Ciracle Pore Control Blackhead Off SheetCiracle Blackhead Off Sheet review // Geeky PoshPin

In the past my go-to method for removing blackheads has always been nose strips – there’s just something so satisfying about pulling off that strip and seeing all those blackheads on there. But those are a big no-no for me now, because not only are the results temporary, but by pulling out the blackheads you’re actually making your pores bigger! So to satisfy my instant-blackhead-removing gratification (don’t judge), I decided to try out the Ciracle Blackhead Off Sheet, which claims to:

Unbelievably effective to remove blackheads and whiteheads without damaging the skin and enlarging your pores! You will see AMAZING results within 15 minutes! Your skin will look clear and feel smooth.

The Findings

The product comes in a plastic jar and includes a pair of tweezers for removing the sheet. It also came with English instructions, which is much appreciated when it comes the Korean skin care products. The last thing I wanted to do was mess up the application and not get any results!

The sheets remind me of Almay’s eye makeup remover sheets, and have a light scent (which I can’t really describe) to them. The sheet material and thickness are similar to that of a typical sheet mask, and each one is soaked in this watery essence – aka the magic juice that will make all my blackheads go away!

Yes you’re supposed to use the tweezer to remove each sheet, which I usually do, but those tweezers really suck and it was hard using it hold the sheet for the camera. Despite the sucky tweezer they included, I do appreciate their effort to keep the application hygienic – nothing worse than sticking your fingers into the product and contaminating it.

So you’re probably wondering, that circle sheet doesn’t look like it’ll fit the nose very well, and you’re right. You need to stretch these sheets out before placing them on your nose, and you can make it as long (to a certain extent) as you want it to be so it’ll cover all your blackheads. Once on the nose the sheet feels really nice, it’s like having a sheet mask on, except just on the nose.

I love the removal process of the Ciracle Blackhead Off Sheet – it’s absolutely painless, and the results I saw on my nose were quite astounding (and disgusting). My blackheads had popped out, all by themselves, no squeezing or pulling required! The instructions said to use a cotton swab to remove them, but I prefer using a blackhead extractor tool to scrape them off instead. When I’m done I can still see my pores, but they’re now clean and blackhead free!

I tried this on my husband’s nose, and even he couldn’t believe how much crap we scraped off! Sorry for the graphic images :(

After using the Ciracle Blackhead Off Sheet I like to follow with my Paula’s Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid to really clean out the pores and tighten them. These 2 products have been game changers for my blackheads and I’ve noticed visible improvement over the past weeks!

The recommended use for the Blackhead Off Sheet is 2-3 times per week, but I found that was too frequent for me and I didn’t have that many blackheads to extract (which is a good thing!). Instead I use this once a week as part of my deep cleaning process to keep my pores clear and happy.

If you're still using nose strips, please stop and switch to this instead! It's not only effective at getting your blackheads out, but it does so gently and without enlarging your pores! This is a product that's truly lived up to its claims, however, keep in mind this will only remove the blackheads. As with most skincare issues, prevention is the key and I think you'll get the maximum benefits if you use this in conjunction with other products.

Thanks for your comment Sophie! I recently learned about the pore strips as well, so I'm glad I've found an effective + satisfying alternative that won't make my pores worse!

Cat

I remember this from your Korean skin care post, and I'm glad you came back with a review! This was the one I was interested in since I have problems with blackheads too. That's awesome that it works so well, and that it does it gently. I'm going to give this a try :)

Jenny Wu

Glad you liked the review Cat! If you do end up buying this, I'd love to hear your experience with it!

Lucy

This sounds wonderful there is something so satisfying about removing blackheads. I need to give this a go just hope I can find in the UK Lucy x

Jenny Wu

I agree Lucy! I find that the best places to order korean Skincare products would be from Amazon or eBay. Several of them offer free worldwide shipping as well!

Amandanda

So I'm really excited that you reviewed these, haha. I'm way over using pore strips to take out stuff in my pores and I've found that most of what they take out are sebaceous filaments and not blackheads :( Thanks for reviewing this! I'm glad it works so well. It's definitely going in my next Amazon order ^__^

Jenny Wu

Hi Amanda! Glad to hear you found the review helpful! I agree, those pore strips usually rip off more of my skin and fine hairs then they do the actual blackheads, not to mention they're terrible for your skin!

Mai

Hi, can you please tell me how much essence is in the Ciracle Blackhead Off Sheet jar? I received mine with the box damp because the essence had all spilled out. I'm wondering if the pads will dry out quickly now because of this. :(

Jenny Wu

Oh no! You should contact the seller and let them know, hopefully they'll give a refund or send you a new product. I'm not sure how much essence was in my jar, but there definitely wasn't any extra liquid in mine. It's like the pads had absorbed everything, so they're soaked in the essence. Hope this helps!

Belleza Kisses (Tasha)

OMG! I'm so buying this!!! Thank you for posting those pictures! That literally sealed the deal for me!

Jenny Wu

You're welcome Tasha! Hope they work as well for you as they did for me and my husband!

Aracely

I am very frustrated I do exactly what the directions say and the blackheads aren't popped out

Jenny Wu

Sorry to hear that :( I find that these sheets work best after you've washed and exfoliated your face, as that allows the essence to really get into your pores and push out the gunk. Also, I wouldn't recommend leaving it on for too long. Hope these tips help!

Aracely

Thank you for the tips
