We go to great lengths to get rid of blackheads. Most effective methods are often painful so when a brand creates something that offers blackhead removal minus the pain it totally deserves a chance. Ms. Super Consumer introduced me to the Innisfree – Jeju Volcanic 3 in 1 Nose Pack and when a product has “3 in 1” in its name I am more than just happy to test drive it.

Product Claims:
-Jeju volcanic clusters that provide better sebum-adsorption power than* rhassoul clay deeply cleanse inside the pores.
-Innovative multi-purpose item serving as a pack + scrub + cleanser.
-A transforming formulation that creates foam when the dry pack comes into contact with water.
* The use of “than” in the above statement has me confused! Is Innisfree suggesting that Jeju Volcanic Scoria is better than Rhassoul or is this a typo? If you know please tell me in the comments!
Packaging + Fragrance
Innisfree packing over all is lovely. The graphics and colour scheme all very nice and pleasant exactly like the brand image. The tube is no – nonsense & travel friendly so all good there. The outer card board box has varied elements stating how the brand is heavily invested into their eco-friendly values and I appreciate them for this.
The product has a surprisingly nice scent. I am the kind who hates 90% of scents in beauty and skin care products, so to be absolutely honest I am pleasantly surprised! It’s a mild floral fragrance that doesn’t irritate or overwhelm.

Consistency & Efficacy
When the pack freshly comes out of the tube it feels wet and I guess attributed to that dampness it also spreads easily over the skin. I concentrated it around my nose as that’s where my blackheads reside. It slightly stung below my nose, on the upper lip but nothing severe.
It dries gradually and as instructed I always wait around 15 mins before washing it. When completely dry it does not tug or pull at the skin like many other clay based masks. To wash it off I initially dampened the area with little water to experience the foaming. But the product doesn’t foam as mentioned in the claims!! When mixed with water it just dislodge’s with a slightly creamier texture compared to other clay mask. Then I used this damp mix to massage & scrub the area around the nose before washing it off completely.

Innisfree: Jeju Volcanic 3 in 1 nose pack | Glow observed after washing
Post wash I noticed the skin was feeling comfortable and not dry. It also seemed clean and had a slight glow. The area that was stinging had turned a little red, but nothing alarming! Unfortunately it didn’t do anything for my blackheads. I have only a few mostly in and around my nose and they are deep-set.
Pros:
- Mild soothing Fragrance
- Non Drying
- Doesn’t tug at the skin when dry
- Cleans sebum on the surface
Cons:
- Not effective for deep-rooted blackheads/dirt
- Does cause slight irritation on sensitive ares of the skin
Closing Thoughts:
Ms. Super Consumer tried this a few times and claimed that it didn’t remove the black heads completely but brought them to the surface, which can perhaps be removed by a second stage cleaning like a pore strip!

If you have a regular skincare routine chances are you will anyway have just a few and not very evident black heads and this product wont work for that kind. But if you have a blackhead situation bad enough to call it a “problem” I believe this will work as a first stage cleansing where like some folks have experienced, it will bring some blackheads to the surface which can then be pulled off by a strip or can be manually removed.
It did not work for me so I am not going to be re-purchasing this but if you have experienced this product differently I would love to hear from you in the comments.
Also check out my thoughts on some of the other Innisfree products here and here.
I really like the other Jeju volcanic products by Innisfree. Haven’t tried this nose pack yet. Prehaps I’ll give it a try next time I pass one of their stores.
Hey, thanks for swinging by. Definitely let me know how it works for you. Would love to hear your experience.
That sounds like an awesome clay mask. I love face masks, to be honest because they do wonders for my skin. Innisfree is a brand that’s highly spoken of, I’m sure this is worth checking out.
I first thought it’s something like black mask. It definitely look interesting and like great product.
Oh i have never heard of this product but this product looks so nice. I hope the malls here have this product so i can try it out.
Never tried this type of product as I go to my beautician on a monthly basis to do deep cleaning facials with her which include blackhead removal. Tried those “strips” which I found were not effective, I get better results with the facials.
I like the feel of this product! ❤
