My Konjac Facial Sponge Review
Recently I had the opportunity to try out the My Konjac Sponge. I’ve quickly fallen in love with this little guy! Let me tell you about it.

- Gently cleanse the face by massaging in a circular motion.

My Experience
I wasn’t sure what to expect from this sponge. When I opened it up, it was softer to the touch than I had expected, softer than your typical kitchen sponge. I was skeptical when I used it for the first time, but those feelings quickly faded away. It’s so soft! Yet it somehow makes my face feel very clean and smooth. It works well with my Abbey St. Clare Aniba Cleanser. I like it better than using a wash cloth, which really surprised me.
I’ve been using it twice a day and it’s non irritating with my sensitive, rosacea skin. It also has kept me free of any flaky patches. I can’t exfoliate as often as I’d like, and makeup will cling to dry patches, but since I started using this sponge I haven’t had any dry patches! It seems to be able to exfoliate very gently without irritating my skin.
I really like the fact that the konjac sponge is biodegradable and naturally sustainable.
This is a product I can see myself repurchasing over and over. I’ve already purchased one for Dave. I can’t believe how it’s worked its way into my daily routine. I use it in the mornings to cleanse my face and I use it in the evenings to remove any makeup from my face.
Have you ever tried My Konjac Sponge?
I just picked up the Dew Puff which is made from the root of konjac. I heard about this one too. #weareallturningkonjaccrazy!
I’ve been curious about konjac sponges, and I see that Sephora is carrying a Boscia version. I use the Clarasonic Mia most nights, so I ask myself, “Do I *need* a konjac sponge in my routine?”.
I have never really got into using Konjac sponges. I still really like my Clarisonic but I like the appeal of something so enviromentally friendly.
At first, it looked like a pumice stone; therefore, I expected it to be rough. Interestingly enough, I’ll be searching for one to soon try.
It took me a moment to realise this wasn’t actually a piece of meatloaf on a string.
I have seen good reviews on Konjac sponge… Now I want to try it too!
I recently bought two, one with the bamboo charcoal for my husband and one with the green french clay for myself, and in the last week that we’ve been using our sponges we’ve been really happy with the improvement with our faces. Skin feels calmer, clearer, not tight or too oily and my husband likes that it’s easy to use in the shower. Definitely love your review and that you give it a thumbs up too!
This sounds great for daily use for dry & sensitive skin like mine!
paintedladies09 Phyrra Thank you for your compliment. We got lots of comments from our customers that our sponges are the softest ones in the market. Pure water is the key ingredient to make a soft and high quality konjac sponge. Our sponges are made in Jeju Island, which is a clean and pollution-free place in South Korea. This island is very famous for its natural mineral water.
Jessika Barber I have one of those shower caddy’s with a bar that sticks out. It’s meant for a wash cloth, but works just fine for the sponge 🙂
KellyLoganGould Definitely not messy!
SlashedBeauty Yeah it’s a good shelf life.
StephLouiseATB I hope you love it as much as I do!
paintedladies09 Agreed! I don’t know how they make us so soft.
kitschvixen For $10, they’re awesome.
In my opinion it really doesn’t have a taste but i don’t like the smell of them at all. I buy Konjac noodles and Konjac rice. It is a much healthier alternative to the white, carb-loaded stuff.
I tried one before, but I got weirded it out because I could not figure out how to hang it up without it touching the wall. I am weird.
I’ve never eaten konjac! What does it taste like?
Never tried this sponge, but it sounds great!
I can’t get over how they look and feel, which is weird because I actually eat Konjac once or twice a week.
Phyrra cinseven13 Can’t wait to read this review!
cinseven13So it’s interesting you ask this! I’ve got another review coming up on the Foreo, which you won’t wanna miss. In short, the Clarisonic has gone unused for the past 6 weeks. I use the Foreo 2xs a week and this twice daily.
what do you feel works better for your skin, this or the Clarisonic?
I’ve wanted to try a Konjac sponge for months now! I’m so glad I keep reading amazing reviews. I definitely need to pick one up soon.
Konjac sponges are magical – I have no idea how they feel so soft and yet make your skin feel so clear. I get mine from Daiso.
I was using a skincare brush… one of the new drugstore ones that I can’t think of right now. Anyway, I always clean it after I use it, but the other day I noticed that there was still a ton of gunk around the base of the bristles that was blending in unnoticeably, so now I’m totally grossed out by it. I like that you can sterilize this sponge, particularly since I’m always suspicious my two male roommates borrow my shower stuff : P
I have one sitting next to my desk right now awaiting trial & review…you just made me so excited!
Laney, yeah I like the earthy pink shade 🙂
Tea, I’m surprised by how awesome they are. I love mine. It gets daily use 🙂
That’s funny because just from looking at the picture I thought it would have a pumice texture to it! 3 months is a pretty good shelf life for a sponge.
Really? It’s not super messy? That sounds kinda cool!
I just got one from Boscia and am really enjoying it. This one is much more affordable, so I’ll be looking to it as a replacement! Plus, mine is white, so it’s got a bit of a tint after I used charcoal cleansers with it… I can’t quite get all the color out.
those sponges are awesome
