Works great!

I love this stuff! i have very oily skin and this stuff helps absorb the excess oil. i put this on my t-zone and a little bit on my cheeks. my forehead gets really oily and has a lot of breakouts. when i use this,the breakouts are minimized and my face is less shiny. the only thing i dont like about this is the fallout. so make sure to wear a shirt you dont mind getting dirty!

I took Christina's advice and used Biore pore strips after using the powder and oh my goodness, what came out of my pores was atrocious. I had been using the strips before so I know the powder is what made the difference. I feel like it excavated every pore on my nose and made it so much easier for the strips to do the job. The product is easy enough to use. Soak a cotton ball in water and put the damp cotton ball in the powder to make a paste. Don't worry about using enough powder to make the paste, it's ok if it's kind of thin. Then you swipe the paste over your blackheads/oily areas and let it sit for 10 minutes. After that, you use a toner to remove the dried paste. After that, just to helps the process out, I got water on my nose and used my pore strips like usual and removed them after 10 more minutes. I know that sounds like a waste of 20 minutes but while both things are drying you can do whatever you want. If what this stuff did on the first try says anything about its effects in the future, this is going to be a holy grail product for me.

Not Bad.

I'm not sure why it is called "Silver Powder" as it is completely white and the ingredients do not list anything as silver. It is, however, pretty effective at absorbing oil and clearing blackheads. It did not remove every one - but did take down quite a few! :) As someone else mentioned, the fall-out can be annoying - I was vacuuming and kept seeing white powder everywhere - because it was falling from my face. One aspect I didn't care for is that the only way to remove it is with toner or astringent. It is almost impossible to rinse off with just plain water. Overall, my pores did appear smaller - and that is always a plus. :) http://freebeautysecrets.blogspot.com

Great for oily skin and clogged pores

I must say this is an odd product, but well worth the purchase. This is a powder in which you dampen a cotton ball, and apply as a "paste" to the face. It's said to clear up blackheads and eliminate oil, while shrinking pores. While using this product, I did notice my oily complexion clearing up and blackheads diminishing. However, I will say that not all my blackheads cleared up. But don't let that stop you from purchasing this product. I happen to have extremely oily skin around my T-zone, and it's very hard to keep it free from blackheads. While this product didn't get all my blackheads (which I expected it wouldn't), it did make a significant difference in the appearance of my skin and clearing it up. The only thing I can say I really didn't like about this powder was the fall out. Yes, fall out. Since it is a powder in which you apply with a damp cotton ball, while you allow it to dry you will see powder falling off your face. This is normal as it dries, but I did find it hard to eat while having the mask on. I recommend not snacking while using this product to keep it from getting in your food, and you ingesting it. Other than that, this product works quite well.

Don't inhale and this powder will do wonders to your congested pores!

A container of the Silver Powder will last you a very long time so you definitely get your bang for your buck. I first mix the powder with a small bit of powder (to make a paste) and swipe it onto my nose and chin areas. After 10 minutes, I use a toner-soaked cotton pad to wipe it off. I can actually see all the gunk poking out of my skin which is pretty gross but satisfying (I know, totally weird of me). I either follow up with pore strips or a clay mask. If I ever run out of this stuff, I would repurchase this in an instant.
