Following the last article I did about the differences in qualities of konjac sponges from manufacturers from Korea and China, I have gotten myself two sponges: one from ' My Konjac Sponge ', which is an American brand that manufactures its products in Korea, and one from a generic Chinese brand. In this post, I will be comparing the differences between the two sponges in the hopes of showing that not all konjac sponges are not created equal, despite what is commonly believed.

I have used the konjac sponges from 'My Konjac Sponge' for years after hearing about them from a Youtuber. The Youtuber claimed it helped their acne and oily skin a lot, which is why I wanted to try it. I use the 'bamboo charcoal' sponge specifically because it is recommended for people with acne and oily skin. On the packaging, it claims to be able to prevent acne and control oily skin. In my opinion, it doesn't give me much of an extra boost in preventing my breakouts, but it definitely helps control my oily skin. When I use the bamboo charcoal sponge for this brand, my skin is not as oily as when I don't cleanse with it.

In this post, I will be comparing the Korean sponge to the Chinese charcoal sponge.
