Texture & feel
SENSORYBio-Cellulose from Coconut
Step 1 sheet is made from fermented coconut bio-cellulose with an ultra-fine net structure that adheres seamlessly to every contour of the nose for deep sebum extraction.
Patented Blackhead-Melting Formula
Contains a patented ingredient (Korean Patent No. 10-1497191) specifically developed for dissolving and removing blackheads and sebum without tearing or stripping the skin.
Chestnut Shell Extract (Step 2)
Step 2 soothes post-extraction skin and tightens pores using chestnut shell extract, witch hazel, and a blend of 18 earth-derived botanical ingredients.
Hydrating Aftercare
Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5) and betaine replenish moisture after deep cleansing, preventing post-treatment dryness and dehydration.
Safety & compatibility
SAFEContains Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Extract, a natural source of salicylates. While lower concentration than synthetic BHA, consult your OB-GYN before use during pregnancy.
Contains PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil and Hydrogenated Lecithin in Step 1 which may feed Malassezia. However, this is a rinse-off product with short contact time, reducing risk.
Rated 1/5 comedogenic. Primarily water-based formula with no heavy oils. This is a wash-off treatment, not a leave-on product, further reducing pore-clogging risk.
Clinically tested for hypoallergenicity. Uses only EWG Green Grade ingredients and follows a 7-Free formula (no parabens, mineral oil, synthetic colors, or harsh irritants).
Gentle melting approach instead of peel-off stripping. Soothing botanicals like portulaca oleracea and dipotassium glycyrrhizate calm redness and irritation.
Mentha Piperita (Peppermint) Oil provides a cooling sensation but may cause mild tingling. If you have very reactive skin, patch test on the inner wrist first.
Ingredient breakdown

How to use
HOW TO USECleanse & Dry
Wash your face thoroughly and pat the nose area completely dry. The bio-cellulose sheet adheres best to dry skin for maximum sebum extraction.
Apply Step 1 (Sebum Melting)
Remove the protective film from the bio-cellulose sheet and apply the middle layer directly onto your nose. The sheet has three layers — use only the center one. Leave on for 10–15 minutes.
Extract with Cotton Swabs
Peel off Step 1. Use the included cotton swabs (with the extruding side) to gently rub and push out the softened blackheads and sebum. Rinse lightly with lukewarm water.
Apply Step 2 (Soothing & Tightening)
Place the T-shaped Step 2 spunlace sheet onto the treated area. Leave on for 15–20 minutes. This step soothes the skin and tightens pores after extraction.
Pat & Absorb
Remove Step 2 and gently pat the remaining essence into the skin. Follow with your usual toner, serum, and moisturizer.
Who is it for?
WHOPerfect for you if:
- You want to remove blackheads without painful peel-off strips
- You have visible sebaceous filaments on your nose
- You have excess sebum and clogged pores in the T-zone
- You want a gentle, non-stripping alternative to traditional pore strips
- You prefer natural, EWG Green Grade ingredients
- You want both blackhead removal AND post-treatment pore care
Consider alternatives if:
- You need a daily-use blackhead treatment (this is 1–3x per week)
- You are pregnant and want to avoid all salicylate-containing products
- You have active cystic acne or broken skin on the nose
- You prefer a leave-on chemical exfoliant like BHA liquid
- You are very sensitive to peppermint or menthol
Skin type compatibility
SKIN TYPESIdeal for oily skin prone to blackheads and excess sebum. The melting formula targets exactly what oily skin struggles with most on the nose and T-zone.
Perfect for targeting the oily T-zone while leaving dry cheeks untouched. Step 2 provides hydration to balance the treated area.
Works well for occasional blackhead maintenance. Use once a week to keep pores clean without over-treating.
Hypoallergenic tested and much gentler than peel-off strips. Peppermint oil may cause mild tingling — patch test first.
Less necessary for dry skin types who rarely experience blackheads. If needed, limit use to once a week and follow with a rich moisturizer.

Visible blackheads and sebum plugs are softened and extracted during the first session. Pores appear visibly cleaner and nose feels smoother to the touch.
85% noticed visible blackhead removalPore Refinement
With 2–3 uses, sebaceous filaments become less noticeable. The nose area looks less congested and pore texture begins to improve.
70% reported smoother nose textureLong-Term Pore Control
Regular weekly use keeps blackheads from returning as quickly. Pores appear tighter and sebum production in the T-zone feels more balanced.
65% noticed pores appeared smallerMaintenance Phase
Many users reduce frequency to once every 2–3 weeks as blackhead recurrence slows. Nose stays clear with less frequent treatments over time.

16K+ REVIEWSPros & cons
BALANCEDPraised
- Visibly removes blackheads and sebaceous filaments on first use
- Much gentler than traditional peel-off pore strips — no skin tearing
- Bio-cellulose sheet conforms perfectly to nose contours
- Step 2 soothes and tightens pores after extraction
- Hypoallergenic and dermatologist approved
- Includes cotton swabs for extraction convenience
- Results last longer than basic pore strips
- Pleasant cooling sensation from peppermint
Criticized
- Higher price per use compared to drugstore pore strips
- Included cotton swabs could be more effective (many upgrade to the Deep Clean Master tool)
- Requires 25–35 minutes total for both steps
- Blackheads return after several days (inherent to all pore treatments)
- Step 1 sheet can be confusing to apply (three-layer design)
- Peppermint oil may tingle on very sensitive skin
Budget-friendly alternatives (dupes)
DUPESVery similar 3-step concept with bio-cellulose, AHA, and cica complex. Includes a dual spatula extractor instead of cotton swabs. Slightly cheaper per use but one fewer application per box.
A more affordable 3-step Korean nose strip with hydrolyzed collagen. Less sophisticated sheet material (not bio-cellulose) and fewer botanical ingredients, but effective for basic blackhead removal.
A leave-on BHA liquid exfoliant rather than a nose pack. Addresses blackheads across the entire face through daily chemical exfoliation. Great complementary product but a different treatment method entirely.

Frequently asked questions
FAQUse with caution. Step 1 contains Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Extract, a natural source of salicylates (related to salicylic acid/BHA). While the concentration is lower than synthetic BHA products and this is a short-contact rinse-off treatment, most dermatologists recommend avoiding salicylate-containing products during pregnancy as a precaution. Consult your OB-GYN or dermatologist before use.
Use with caution. Step 1 contains PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil and Hydrogenated Lecithin, which are potential fungal acne triggers. However, this is a short-contact wash-off treatment (10–15 minutes) rather than a leave-on product, which significantly reduces the risk of feeding Malassezia yeast. Step 2 is generally safer but contains Butylene Glycol. If you have active fungal acne on your nose, consider consulting a dermatologist first.
Avoid using this nose pack immediately after applying strong actives like retinol, vitamin C serums, or concentrated AHA/BHA treatments on the same day. The nose pack contains mild AHAs from its fruit complex, and layering it with other exfoliants can cause over-exfoliation and irritation. Use the nose pack on "off days" from your active treatments, or wait at least 24 hours after using retinol or chemical exfoliants.
This nose pack is best suited for oily and combination skin types that experience blackheads, sebaceous filaments, and excess sebum on the nose and T-zone. It also works well for normal skin as occasional maintenance. Those with sensitive skin can use it — it is hypoallergenic tested — but should patch test first due to the peppermint oil. Dry skin types may find it less necessary but can still use it occasionally.
Most users see visible blackhead removal after the very first use. The bio-cellulose sheet melts sebum during the 10–15 minute application, and blackheads can be gently extracted immediately after. For long-term pore refinement and reduced blackhead recurrence, consistent use once or twice a week for 3–4 weeks is recommended. Many users report needing less frequent treatments after about a month of regular use.
Use the ILSO Nose Pack right after cleansing, on dry skin, before any other products. After completing both Step 1 and Step 2, continue with the rest of your routine: toner, serum, moisturizer, and sunscreen (if daytime). It replaces any exfoliating step on the days you use it. Most users incorporate it 1–3 times per week.
The ILSO Nose Pack has a comedogenic rating of 1 out of 5, meaning it has very low pore-clogging risk. The formula is primarily water-based with no heavy oils or waxes. Additionally, this is a wash-off treatment rather than a leave-on product, so the ingredients are not sitting on your skin long enough to cause clogged pores. The product is actually designed to do the opposite — unclog and clear pores.
Each individual set is sealed in its own foil packet, so you only "open" one at a time. An unopened packet remains shelf-stable for up to 3 years from manufacture. Once you open an individual packet, use it immediately — the bio-cellulose sheet and essence should not be stored after opening. The box of 5 sets has a PAO (Period After Opening) of 12 months for the overall packaging.
Verdict: The ILSO Natural Mild Clear Nose Pack is one of the best blackhead-removal nose packs available in K-beauty. Its 2-step approach — melting then soothing — is a significant upgrade over traditional peel-off strips that can damage skin. The bio-cellulose sheet from fermented coconut adheres remarkably well, and the patented formula genuinely softens sebum for easier extraction. Step 2 with chestnut shell extract and witch hazel provides soothing aftercare that most competitors skip entirely. The main drawback is the higher per-use cost ($3.80 vs ~$1 for basic strips) and the 25–35 minute time commitment. The included cotton swabs work but many users recommend pairing with the ILSO Deep Clean Master tool for best results. Overall, if you are serious about managing blackheads gently and effectively, this is a top-tier choice backed by over 1.45 million units sold and consistently high ratings across platforms.

Understanding Silicones
If you've ever used a skincare, makeup or beauty product that's made your skin look and feel smoother tempoarily - it's likely contained Silicone. They are a popular class of ingredients found in cosmetics due to their smooth, soft, easy-to-spread and smooth properties that help creates an artificial layer/barrier on top of skin or hair (commonly found in conditioners).
For the same reasons they are popularly used, they are also commonly avoided. Anecdotally, many individuals have reported that Silicones cause/excerbate breakouts, irritation, cause a feeling of skin being unable to breathe, cause clumping of cosmetic products and find it difficult to wash off. As a result, those who find them problematic are avoiding them and increasingly, cosmetic companies are avoiding them as well.
If you have had bad experiences with Silicones in the past, or suspect they are problematic then look out for the tick on the Silicone-free label.
Disclaimer
The Silicone-free label only includes the most common Silicone ingredients that have indentified been reported by individuals that could potentially cause issues.
These include: Amodimethicone, Behenoxy Dimethicone, Bis-Aminopropyl Dimethicone, Cetearyl Methicone, Cetyl Dimethicone, Cyclomethicone, Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone, Dimethicone Copolyol, Dimethiconol, Methicone, Phenyl Trimethicone, Phenyl Trimethicone, Stearoxy Dimethicone, Stearyl Dimethicone, Trimethylsilylamodimethicone.

EU Allergen-Free
EU Allergen-Free
Understanding the Identified Contact Allergens
The EU's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) has identified and established 26 cosmetic ingredients that are likely contact allergens (potential to cause skin allergies) as demonstrated in clinical or epidemiological studies. The EU's SCCS have recommend cosmetic companies to disclose them on the labels if used and in cases where the concentration exceeds 0.001% in leave-on products and 0.01% in rinse-off products, then they must be labelled.
Look out for the tick on the EU-Allergen free label to know your cosmetic is free from any of the 26 identified cosmetic ingredients.
For more information regarding the EU's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety, please visit their official website.
Disclaimer
The EU Allergen Free label is for the 26 ingredients identified by the EU SCCS and products will be only flagged if a suspected ingredient is on it's ingredient list. It is possible for cosmetics to contain one of the suspect ingredients without it appearing on the ingredient list due to it not reaching the concentration threshold to disclose it and cosmetic manufacturers choice to not disclose it.
Also note, the EU Allergen Free label is not personalized for your own allergies you may have and it does not constitute as medical advice.

Fungal Acne (Molassezia) Safe
Fungal Acne (Molassezia) Safe
Understanding Fungal Acne (Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia Folliculitis)
Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia folliculitis or simply known as Fungal Acne is a persistent acne-like condition that commonly responds poorly to traditional acne-treating methods. Unlike most cases of Acne where bacteria is the culprit, Fungi is the culprit of Fungal Acne (Hence the name!). There are certain classes & groups of ingredients that have been shown to promote and feed the growth of the Fungal Acne, Fungi such as fatty acids, oils, esters, polysorbates and fermented ingredients.
For more information regarding Fungal Acne, please visit Simple Skincare Science (f.c) - #3 of our Recommend Skincare Resources for an amazing comprehensive guide!
Please Read: How to use the Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Label
At SkinCarisma, we've done our best to identify as many ingredients as possible but note the fungal-free label may not be 100% accurate due to the complexconditions and combination of ingredients that malezzeria can thrive on.
Additionally, products that may contain ingredients that have shown to feed Malassezia may not neccessarily exacerbate the condition due to concentration of ingredient used in the product, this information is simply not available on the products.
As a result, please note this is only an experimental label that can be best used to possible identify problematic products you have used in the past. It is in no way a perfect identifier nor a predictor in whether or not it will exacerbate or cause fungal acne. It will continue to be worked on as more information and research comes to light.
If you find any ingredients you believe should be included, please email us at snails@skincarisma.com.
Disclaimer
Due to the lack of substantial research into this area it is very likely there are other ingredients and class/groups of ingredients that could feed Fungal Acne which have not been indentified.
The Fungal-Safe label does not constitute as medical advice. For your specific case, always consult your medical professiona such as dermatologist, physician, pharmacist, or health care provider - please read our medical disclaimer for more information.
What are Notable Effects & Ingredients?
Ever used a product that promised a certain effect but provided no results? It might not have contained any notable ingredients that could have been responsible for that promised effect. It doesn't matter what the marketing or packaging «promises» it can do, if it doesn't contain anything that can help - then the likelihood of it helping is low.
We help you identify key notable ingredients that have been shown to help with effects such as acne-fighting, brightening, UV-protection, wound healing & anti-aging to help you achieve your skincare goals smarter. Please note that different notable ingredients have varying levels of research behind them, some are extremely well proven yet some have mixed research in their efficacy.
Pro Tip Alert!
Just because a product doesn't contain any notable ingredients doesn't mean it's bad. And a product with notable ingredients (or even many) doesn't necessarily guarantee the efficacy of the product performing these effects either. There are other factors such as ingredient quality, concentration and formulation that will ultimately determine this.
Be smart and use this as just a starting point for you to make more informed and smarter choices and compare it with reviews to see if the product is right for you

Pro Tip Alert!
A product that contains good or bad ingredients for your skin type doesn't always flat out make the entire product good or bad for your skin. There are other factors such as ingredient quality, concentration and formulation that will ultimately determine your skins reaction.
One of the best ways to use this section is to troubleshoot products you've had bad experiences with in the past. Check if it contains any of the marked ingredients to point out suspect ingredients to avoid in the future!

What is the Ingredient Safety Breakdown?
Ingredient Safety Breakdown refers to the percentage % of ingredients in different risk categories as classified by EWG (Environment Working Group) if they are available. There are almost endless cosmetic ingredients and they are one of the few organisations globally that have assigned ratings to a lot of the more commonly used ingredients which is why we reference them.
Pro Tip Alert!
EWG is seen by many to be more on the alarmist side in their assignment of health ratings resulting in rating ingredients as riskier than they actually are. We recommend using this a reference point rather than a strict guide of ingredient safety and to always do further research if into ingredients that you may find suspect.
