RiRe All Kill Blackhead Remover Stick promises to eradicate blackheads and dead skin, purifying pores “from within”. This product description makes me roll my eyes - the star ingredients of charcoal and walnut shell fragments aren’t magical pore vacuums and won’t purify anything “from within”. That doesn’t automatically make this a bad product, but I love to call out outrageous marketing claims.
How to use
Roll over wet skin in circular motions
Rinse and follow with the rest of your routine
This RiRe stick is super easy to use - I feel the gentle exfoliating inclusions as I softly massage it over the skin; the product foams a bit and has a mild, pleasant scent. I would advise against rubbing too hard - that might cause irritation.
My impressions
I fully expected this to be a “skintertainment” product - no real benefit but fun to use. However, I am pleasantly surprised. I use the RiRe All Kill Blackhead Remover Stick on the t-zone after cleansing and love the results. I have combination skin and the t-zone is oily and prone to enlarged / clogged pores. I keep that at bay with double cleansing, regular exfoliation, and clay masks.
My skin is immediately softer and smoother to the touch. This is similar to the effects of a clay mask but even better. The pores do appear smaller and more clear, even though the effect is temporary. I have a very hit and miss relationship with RiRe as a brand - a lot of their products look interesting but end up providing lackluster results. While I would not rely on this stick as my only source of pore care, it definitely adds a little something to my routine and makes my t-zone look a lot less oily. I’ll keep using it while I have it, but not sure yet if I will get it again. Still, it’s worth a try.
