Buf-Puf Gentle Facial Sponge, Dermatologist Developed, Removes Deep Down Dirt & Makeup That Causes Breakouts and Blackheads, Reusable, Exfoliating, 1 Count

The media could not be loaded. I’m actually impressed. I have only used this for a couple of weeks, a few times a throughout the week when I am washing my face. Sometimes, I don’t even use it to wash my face- I just use it afterwards to exfoliate and make sure my skin is clear of all product. My skin doesn’t breakout out severely in general but there is a particular area on my forehead that tends to never want to fully clear up. Since using this, my skin is the softest and clearest it has been and I noticed that the area on my forehead that never clears completely is almost all the way gone! I usually always have some sort of minor breakout around my time of the month as well and my skin has stayed clear this time! I doubt it’s a complete miracle product if someone is starting from scratch in their skincare journey or have more acne prone skin. But this product does really seem effective in helping to deeply clean and exfoliate the skin which could help kickstart a needed change.

It's a palm sized loofah style facial scrub. I've had a bit of a challenge finding one that I've liked because they tend to either be too abrasive, or not abrasive enough. I have very oily skin. The teardrop shape was great because I could wrap the small end around my index finger and get sensitive places like around my eyes really well. It was abrasive enough that I felt like it was exfoliating but I didn't feel like I was scrubbing my skin off! I thought it was a good product and it worked exactly as I was hoping and it's got a good balance of being exfoliating without being overly aggressive in terms of it's abrasiveness. It's also airy enough that it drives well after being rinsed enough to dry which is important to me so it doesn't feel like it gets icky by not drying right. It's a good product and I would recommend it.

Best facial sponge EVER! I was worried it would be too rough and scratch my skin. But it is both smooth, soft and yet abrasive at the same time. It is the BEST balanced sponge to both cleanse, exfoliate and yet leave your skin smooth. I plan on purchasing the body sponge also!

I have used exfoliating facial sponges for years. I find that my fairly sensitive skin tolerates them much better than harsh chemicals or peels. My face always feels super clean after use, with the day's grime, makeup and dead skin cells massaged away.I usually use an off label brand but unable to find any, I decided to give this Buff Puff brand a try, despite the higher price tag.The quality of the sponge is great. It kept its shape for quite some time, lathered wonderfully, and performed as expected. Lasts longer too, so might even justify the higher cost. It was just too 'gentle' for me. For reference I'm a 50+ female. I will give the 'regular' type a try next time.

This is a wonderful item. It leaves your face feeling so smooth. Don't forget to add moisturizer after!

I've been using this for over a month, so I can now write a good review on it.I'm 50 years old and still have acne-prone skin. I get clogged pores, blackheads, and when I do get pimples several times each month, they're the unreasonable, huge, red, never-go-away kind that keep festering and even scab over. I've found that I can use this to exfoliate my face when the pad is dry as well as using it with a good liquid cleanser when wet. I'm allergic to so many things, so being able to use it while dry is great! It roughs up the dead skin to be washed and moisturized away. It also sloughs off the invisible layer covering clogged pores so when I do it in the evening, even while in bed watching TV, when I get up in the morning, the crud in my pores has literally come to the surface, ready to be scrubbed away or lightly squeezed out if needed.I also use it in the shower or at the sink to get my skin deep-down clean. If I've worn makeup that day (and I usually don't), I remove it with a makeup removing towelette and/or a wet wash cloth with cleansing bar lather first. Then I use this pad with some Cetaphil spread across it to lightly scrub and wash my face and neck.This is the first time in over 25 years that I've finally gotten my skin under control! I use one pad for about a month, and it's good for 1x - 2x per day, along with lightly using it to do some random exfoliation every so often. My pores have shrunk, my breakouts are down by about 90%, and my face feels smooth. I don't know if it helps with wrinkles yet, but some reviews say it does, so that would be an added bonus. After using the pad, I squeeze and shake it out and put it by the sink to dry. It's light and porous, so it dries out quickly and completely, preventing mildew and bacteria from setting up housekeeping in there. If you're worried about bacteria, though, you could probably flush it with some peroxide or rubbing alcohol, then rinse and dry, or perhaps dip it in just-boiled water to kill germs. I haven't had that problem with this pad, though. I did recently buy another similar-colored, teardrop-shaped pad from Amazon and found that what I received seemed to be harsher than this one. I'm not sure if I'll try it for my face or not, but if I do, I'll be sure to update this with what happened.Finally, I do have very sensitive skin. My skin got worse for a couple of weeks before it got better, but it definitely got much better. I think it got worse because of all of the impurities I was working out of my skin along with the abrasion, so I reduced how often I used it dry until my skin calmed down and that did the trick. This is the "gentle" version of the pad. I haven't used a facial "regular" version, but I have used the body Buf Puf which is a regular version and I don't think my skin could handle that. My sensitive, middle-aged skin needs this but it doesn't need to be sanded off completely! I can't see me going without this in the future. It's a small price to pay for a month of nice-looking skin using basic cleanser.I know this was long, and I'm not a big review writer, but if I can help someone who's had as much trouble finding the right thing as I have, it's been worth the time I took to write this.

I always get compliments that my skin is so smooth and I swear it’s because I have these sponges on subscription. My pores clog easily and using this sponge has made it easier to clean them out and get rid of the extra dry skin.

Even though it’s marked as gentle, be careful or you will create red marks on your face. It’s a little too rough for my face.
