In early November, I bought this sponge:
Which is a natural sponge "infused" (?) with clay. I got it because it was on sale at the place my partner works, so I got an additional discount.
Let me start by saying that I've had severe issues with my skin since I was about 11 years old. Acne, cystic acne, hormonal acne, overproduction of oil, prone to scarring, redness, sensitivity... a complete horror show. I can use very few products on my skin (particularly heavy things like SPF, moisturizers, or foundation). I found some success using oil over the last few years (mixing tea tree, coconut and avocado oils) but was still having most of the issues listed above. But I had read that people were really loving this sponge, so I decided to try it.
This thing has totally transformed my skin. I don't use cleansers or toners anymore. Just this sponge in room-temp water and that's it. It's gentle but exfoliates well. My skin is very evenly-toned now, and smooth. I haven't had any breakouts in almost 2 months (even during My Monthly Times). It's like a freaking miracle.
I'm stockpiling this thing for life.
