I decided to buy this box as I wanted to try new products targeting blackheads and enlarged pores. This is a super box, meaning that all the products are full size (although most of the normal memeboxes have only full size products as well). I had to wait only 9 days to receive this box from Korea, so I am really pleased!
This is the box description on the memebox site.
"If you’re one of the many people that suffer from blackheads, it’s likely that you’ve been fighting a losing battle. There’s a hoard of products out there that claim to clear blackheads, but are they really effective? Right now, you may think that the best way to remove blackheads is to squeeze them with your fingers, but that’s really not a great idea.
With the help of this Blackheads No More Box, a mix of blackhead clearing, blackhead preventing, and pore minimizing essentials, you’ll pull out all pore-cloggers straight and clean and shrink oversized pores for the best skin you’ve ever had!"
First of all, here is the memebox information card:

First of all, here is the memebox information card:
The box contains 6 full size products, all into the theme of blackheads no more! There are not really any products that I don't like or I won't use, so it's hard to put them in order of preference! I'll list the products in order of excitement I had when I read about them! :)
Migabee Hot & Cool Pore Care Set - full size
This was one of the spoilers for the box, a Migabee Hot&Cool Pore care set! The set consists of a 30 ml tube of scrub, a 30 ml tube of cleansing cream and a 70 ml dispenser of mist. This is a 3 step routine.
First step: spread the hot pore peeling system on your face, massage it gently and peel it off after 15-20 minutes. During this step the pores open because of the heat. The cream has pepper extract infusions.
Second step: Cleanse your skin and tighten your pores using the second product of the set.
Third step: Use the peppermint and witch hazel mist to refine the pores and get an ultra clean sensation!
I don't know how the peppermint helps to tighten pores but I know that witch hazel helps soothe irritated skin! I look forward to try this set and check its effectiveness!
price: $43 (£25.80) full size product. 30 ml/30ml/70ml, price according to memebox
value to me: £15 Each tube contains only 30 or 70 ml of product.

Pore Control Foam Deep Cleanser - full size
This is the second Pro You product I have received from memebox. The first one was the Pore Control Facial Mask in Mask 5th Edition. I really like this mask so I am excited to try the Pro You Pore Control Foam Deep Cleanser! And it's a foam cleanser! I like foam cleansers!!! My cleanser is almost over, this one is going to be the next one to open! price: $8.99 (£5.30) full size product, 100 ml. Memebox's price is $24 but I found it here for $8.99. value to me: £6 I like the Pro You Pore Control Facial Mask and if the quality of this cleanser is any close to quality of the mask, I am going to love it! |
Purederm Nose Pore Strips Charcoal - full size 6ea
That is something I was looking for! Nose pore strips! I got 6 in this box, and the full size packet has 6 inside but the nose strips box wasn't in! My guess is that it didn't fit! The size of the products in this box is really big! The nose strips were inside a transparent foil that was sealed. Good enough for me. The choice of charcoal is interesting, I am not really sure what charcoal nose pore strips really mean! I tried the strips once. They work as any other nose strips. I would have preferred them a bit larger as they barely cover my nose. Some strips I had in the past could cover very well also the sides of the nose. And no, my nose is not too big!! :p I have ordered some chocolate nose pore strips from the shop and I am curious to see how they compare to each other!
price: $6 (£3.60) full size product, price according to Memebox. There is a seller in amazon
selling them for £12.20!
value to me: £3.60 It seems like a reasonable price.

Cheek Room Pore Brush - full size
This is a super soft pore brush! I can't describe how soft it is! The information card says that it contains over 310 thousand fine bristles thinner than 0.045 mm! I didn't count them... I have to trust memebox on this one! I used already the brush a few times. I didn't see any difference to be honest but this is the first time I use a pore brush, I am not sure what to expect. I'll add the brush to my routine and I 'll see how it goes.
price: $36 (£21.60) full size product, price according to memebox.
value to me: £8 It's a super soft brush, but since I haven't seen any results so far, I wouldn't say
it's worth more than £8.

Dermahouse Deep Cleansing Cream - full size
Dermahouse deep cleansing cream is actually a cleansing cream/make up remover! You remove make up and excessive oil with this cream first, and then you use a cleansing foam to complete the cleansing routine. That's my new favourite memebox product! The cream is very thick so when you massage it on your face to remove make up, it is very gently and soft. It did a very good job removing my mascara and a waterproof eye pencil. It doesn't really have a smell, and this is a plus for me! And the size of the product is very good! 150 ml! That's a big tube! After using it my skin felt clean but at the same time I felt I had to use another cleanser because I felt like there was a layer of moist on my skin. The info card suggests as well to use another cleanser, so nothing unusual. I am very pleased with this product!
price: $18 (£10.80) full size product, 150 ml, price according to memebox
value to me: £10.80 I like the product and the size is big!

Nella Fantasia Pore Control Astringent Gel - full size product
This was another spoiler for the box. I am definitely going to use all of the above products, this is the only one that will have to wait or will not be used at all. The interesting fact is that you should keep this bottle in the fridge for the best results!
price: $34 (£20.40) full size product, 180ml, according to memebox
value to me: £5 I am not sure if I need another product in my already quite long list of products I use!

My impressions
I paid £21 using a code and vip discount for this box and the normal price including shipping was $44.99 (£27).
Total value of the box: £87.50
Value to me: £48.40
This box is quite practical, the wow factor is missing, in my opinion. However, all the products are well chosen to match the theme and I am really happy with the ones I have tried already! In terms of value, this box has lower value for money compared to other boxes. It's still 3 times cheaper than the price of the products in the box! There are a lot of expensive products in this box and I wouldn't justify their price. This is why the value of the box to me is around double the price I paid. Overall I am happy with the box, and I just wished that it was slightly cheaper.
The Blackheads No More! box is still available here if you would like to purchase it.
