Review based on: My personal experience
If you have oily skin, you probably know how quickly your face can start looking shiny during the day.
That’s something I have dealt with for quite some time. My forehead and nose usually become oily a few hours after washing my face, and I also have visible pores around my nose and cheeks.
Because of this, finding a face wash that I actually enjoy using has been important for me. I decided to try Plum Green Tea Pore Cleansing Face Wash because I was looking for a cleanser that would leave my face feeling clean and fresh without making my routine complicated.
I initially bought the smaller pack to see how I liked it. After finishing it, I decided to purchase the larger pack and continued using it.
In total, I used the face wash for around eight weeks, and this is my honest experience with it.
I’ll cover why I bought it, how I used it, how my skin felt after washing, what happened to the oiliness I experienced, what I liked, what I didn’t like, and whether I would buy it again.

Why I Bought Plum Green Tea Face Wash
My main reason for buying this face wash was simple: I have oily skin and wanted a cleanser that would leave my face feeling fresh and clean.
Before buying it, I was dealing with:
- Oily skin
- Shine on my forehead and nose
- Visible pores around my nose and cheeks
- Blackheads around my nose and chin
- Occasional pimples
- Skin that could feel greasy a few hours after washing
The main reason Is I want a face wash that makes my skin feel fresh and removes the excess oil and keep my skin oily free this is the main reason
I didn’t want a complicated skincare routine.
I wanted a face wash that I could easily include in my everyday routine and continue using consistently.
I had also seen Plum Green Tea Pore Cleansing Face Wash being recommended for people with oily skin, which made me interested in trying it for myself.
What I Was Looking For in a Face Wash
Before starting the test, these were the main things I wanted from a cleanser:
- My face should feel clean after washing
- My skin should feel fresh rather than greasy
- I wanted to see how long that fresh feeling lasted
- I wanted something easy to use every day
- I didn’t want my skincare routine to become complicated
I wasn’t expecting the face wash to completely change my skin.
I mainly wanted to see how it worked for me.
My Skin Before Using It
Before I started using Plum Green Tea Face Wash, my skin was oily.
The areas where I noticed the most oil were my:
- Forehead
- Nose
- Chin
I also had visible pores around my nose and cheeks.

My main concerns were:
Oily skin: My face would become shiny during the day.
Visible pores: I could clearly see pores around my nose and nearby cheeks.
Blackheads: I occasionally noticed blackheads around my nose and chin.
Occasional pimples: I would sometimes get pimples, although this wasn’t the main reason I bought the face wash.
My First Purchase: The Small Pack
I didn’t immediately buy the largest pack.
I first purchased the smaller pack because I wanted to try the product before spending more money on it.
🟨 [ADD PHOTO OF YOUR SMALL PACK HERE]
I wanted to see:
- Whether I liked the texture
- How my skin felt after washing
- Whether it suited my oily skin
- Whether I could comfortably continue using it
- Whether I actually wanted to repurchase it
After using the smaller pack, I decided that I liked my experience enough to buy the larger one.

I first tried the smaller pack and later repurchased the larger pack after liking my experience with the face wash.
That repurchase is one of the reasons I feel comfortable saying that I genuinely liked using the product.
What the Face Wash Feels Like
The first thing I noticed was the texture and how easily it spread across my face.
🟨 [ADD YOUR ACTUAL PRODUCT/TEXTURE PHOTO HERE]
My experience with the texture
The texture was lightweight, clear and gel-based
- I liked the gel texture of this product
- I Used small pea size when ever I wash my face
- It lather easily
- It has some mild green tea fragrance in it
- it was easy to rinse
- My skin feels oily free immediately after use
How I Used Plum Green Tea Face Wash
During my testing period, I personally used the face wash three times a day.
My routine looked roughly like this:
Morning
- Plum Green Tea Face Wash
- Toner
- Moisturizer
- Sunscreen
During the day
- Plum Green Tea Face Wash (while taking bath)
Night
- Plum Green Tea Face Wash
- Toner
- Moisturizer
I want to make one thing clear: three times a day was my personal routine. I’m not suggesting that everyone should wash their face three times a day.
I am simply documenting how I personally used the product during my test.
How My Face Felt After Washing
This was probably one of the things I liked most about this face wash. After washing my face, my skin felt fresh and clean.
Because my skin is oily, I really liked that feeling immediately after cleansing.
More importantly, I noticed that my face didn’t feel as oily for around 2–3 hours after washing.
Of course, the oiliness eventually came back because my skin is naturally oily.
I wasn’t expecting a face wash to keep my face completely oil-free throughout the entire day. But for me, having a fresh, less-oily feeling for around two to three hours was something I appreciated.
My experience in simple terms:
Immediately after washing: Fresh and clean
After 1 hour: same fresh and oil free
After 2 hours: Still relatively fresh and less oily
After 3 hours: here I can see my face become oily in The T – zone
Later in the day: My usual oiliness gradually returned
This is one of the main reasons I continued using the product.
My 8-Week Experience
Rather than saying that I saw a huge transformation overnight, I wanted to give the product enough time and observe my skin throughout the process.
Here’s what I personally noticed.
Week 1 Getting Used to the Face Wash
During the first week, I mainly focused on how the face wash felt.
I noticed that my face felt fresh and clean after washing.
🟨 [ADD WEEK 1 PHOTO HERE]
I also noticed that the oily feeling wasn’t immediately there after washing.
It generally took around 2–3 hours before I started noticing my usual oiliness again.
I wasn’t expecting major changes in my pores or blackheads after just one week, so I mainly treated this as the beginning of the test.
My Week -1 Experience
I was just letting my skin to get adjusted with the product didn’t expect any magic
Week -2 I Was Starting to Get Used to It
By the second week, the face wash had become a normal part of my routine.
I wasn’t thinking about the product every time I used it anymore. I was simply using it and paying attention to how my skin felt.
The main thing I continued noticing was the fresh feeling after washing.
My face would eventually become oily again, but I liked the way it felt immediately after cleansing.
What I noticed
- Fresh feeling after washing
- Less oily feeling immediately after cleansing
- Oil free for more than 3 hours
- Oiliness gradually returned after a few hours
Week -4 One Month of Using It
After around four weeks, I had become quite comfortable with the product.
At this point, I started paying more attention to my overall skin rather than just how the cleanser felt.

What I noticed
- Improvement in my Skin texture
- less break outs Pimples
- Overall appearance was good clean and fresh
“I didn’t notice a dramatic difference in the appearance of my pores at this point, so I continued using the face wash to see how things looked after eight weeks.”
Week -8 My Final Experience
After eight weeks, I felt that I had used the product long enough to give my overall opinion.

What I Personally Notice
I am telling again I didn’t saw any difference in my pores and black and white heads
I enjoyed it the way this face wash kept my skin oil free for 3 hours after washing my face
What Happened to My Pores?
My pores were one of the things I was paying attention to throughout the test.
I didn’t want to simply repeat what the product description says.
I wanted to see what happened on my own skin.

My honest observation
“When I compare my photos, I don’t see a major difference in the appearance of my pores. They still look quite noticeable around my nose and cheeks.”
If you did notice a difference, describe exactly what you see without exaggerating it.
What Happened to My Blackheads?
I also paid attention to the blackheads around my nose and chin.

My experience

Did It Make My Skin Feel Less Oily?
This is where I noticed something I genuinely liked.
After washing my face, it felt fresh and less oily for around 2–3 hours.
My skin didn’t stay oil-free all day, though.
After several hours, my normal oiliness gradually returned.
For me, that was expected because I naturally have oily skin.
My experience:
Fresh immediately after washing: ✅
Less oily for around 2–3 hours: ✅
Oil-free for the entire day: ❌
I think this is a more realistic way to describe my experience rather than saying that the face wash “controls oil production.”
Did It Dry Out My Skin?
“My face felt clean after washing, but I didn’t experience uncomfortable dryness.” some times when ever I use it more than 3 times like when ever their are any function or festival to look oil free I feel dryness and tightness in my skin
Did I Experience Any Breakouts?
“I did get occasional pimples during the testing period, but I can’t say that they were caused by the face wash because I was also using other skincare products.”
What I Liked About Plum Green Tea Face Wash
After eight weeks, these were the things I personally liked:
1. My face felt fresh after washing : This was probably my favorite part of using it.
2. I liked the less-oily feeling for around 2–3 hours : My face eventually became oily again, but I liked the period immediately after cleansing.
3. It was easy to include in my routine : I didn’t need to completely change my skincare routine to use it.
4. I repurchased it : I initially purchased the smaller pack and later bought the larger pack.
That tells you quite a bit about how I personally felt about the product.
What I Learned From Using It
One thing I learned from testing this face wash is that I shouldn’t judge a skincare product only by what I read on the packaging or online.
I wanted to see what happened on my own skin.
For me, the most noticeable part of the experience was simple:
My face felt fresh after washing, and I noticed that it stayed less oily for around 2–3 hours.
The rest of the results were something I observed over the full eight weeks.
My First Small Pack vs. My Repurchased Large Pack
I think this deserves its own section because it’s part of my actual experience with the product.
I first bought the smaller pack because I didn’t know whether I would like the face wash.
After finishing it, I decided to purchase the larger pack.
🟨 [ADD PHOTO OF BOTH PACKS]
I wouldn’t have repurchased the larger pack if I had strongly disliked the first one.
The fact that I bought it again tells you that I personally found the product worth continuing with.

This Plum Green Tea Face Wash review is based on my eight-week personal experience with the product.
Would I Buy It Again?
Yes I already did.
I initially purchased the smaller pack to try the face wash.
After using it, I decided to purchase the larger pack. So this isn’t a situation where I’m recommending a product that I only used for a few days.
I actually finished the smaller pack and then spent my own money on the larger one. That doesn’t mean everyone will have the same experience.
It simply means that I liked my experience enough to continue using it.
Who I Think Might Like This Face Wash
Based on my personal experience, I think it could be worth considering if you’re someone who:
- Has oily skin
- Likes a fresh feeling after cleansing
- Wants a simple face-washing routine
- Doesn’t want to spend a lot on a cleanser
- Prefers a face wash that is easy to use regularly
This is based on my experience and isn’t a guarantee that you’ll get the same results.
Who Might Not Like It
- if you didn’t like the fragrance,
- If you want a cream base face wash (cream texture)
My Final Verdict
After using Plum Green Tea Pore Cleansing Face Wash for eight weeks, I can say that I genuinely enjoyed using it.
The biggest thing I noticed was how fresh and clean my face felt after washing.
Because I have oily skin, I also liked that my face didn’t feel as oily for around 2–3 hours after cleansing.
My usual oiliness eventually returned, so I wouldn’t describe this as making my skin oil-free.
I also paid attention to my pores and blackheads throughout the eight weeks.

🟨 [ADD YOUR HONEST FINAL RESULT ABOUT BLACKHEADS]
The fact that I first bought the smaller pack and later repurchased the larger pack probably tells you the most about my overall experience.
I liked it enough to keep using it.
Would I recommend it?
Based on my own experience, yes, I would consider recommending it to someone with oily skin who is looking for a simple everyday cleanser.
But I would also tell them not to expect exactly the same results that I experienced.
