So I bought this going in, getting ready to use it like a little game but also hoping that it would work. Besides the promised pads and sticks to squeeze out the nasty stuff there's also an extra soap bar included. I think it's just something extra and not part of the routine but I just humour myself to use it before I put the the wet pad on my nose. The solution doesn't irritate my skin and when I use the stick to squeeze it out I do see some results, but at the same time I don't know if it's coming out just because I'm scraping my nose very roughly. Every time I do this, my nose comes out red from all the scraping. I'll try it on my chin next to see if it could help with the sebum there but I'm not going to get my hopes up...
