My Thoughts

This black gel has a smooth and sticky texture, with very little mild exfoliation beads.  It has a unique perfume fragrance, which reminds me of the chinese medicated oil.

After cleansing my face and towel dry, squeeze out gel onto my palms and apply onto my entire face and neck, and rub in circular motion.

When the gel contacts on my face, it starts to heat up, giving my face a warm sensation.  With continuous rub, my face feels hotter and hotter, and the gel turns grey color.  

Rub in circular motion for a few minutes and rinse off with water.  After scrubbing, I see my face is real clean, with a much clearer, smoother and brighter complexion.

But, sometimes when I rub, the gel gets too hot that my face got sting, with some hot itchy red patches around my mouth area.

It comes with an inconvenient screw cap.  Whenever I open the cap, the soft gel will uncontrollably flows out from the hole causing a great mess.  To prevent the mess, it is best to put the tube upside down.
