Meet Qiu Xin, a busy professional in her late 20s who has been struggling with hormonal acne and frequent breakouts. She has sensitive, combination skin that is prone to congestion and inflammation. Thus, she often found it difficult to manage flare-ups without irritation. Having tried various facials in the past with little success, she turned to My Cozy Room’s award-winning Ultimate Pore Extraction Facial in hopes of finding a treatment that could clear her skin gently yet effectively.

I’ll admit it: my skin has been through a lot lately. Between my job as a sales consultant, long hours on the go, and Singapore’s humid weather, my combination skin has been in a constant battle with acne, dryness, and dullness. Add in fine lines and pigmentation, and I knew I needed more than just my usual at-home routine.
That’s when I decided to finally try the Ultimate Pore Extraction Facial at My Cozy Room Beauty Spa—a treatment I’d heard so many rave reviews about. I wanted a facial that could do more than just “freshen up” my skin. I wanted results.
Tip: Understanding Hormonal Flare-ups
Hormonal flare-ups are one of the most common causes of adult acne, often appearing around the chin, jawline, and lower cheeks. These breakouts typically coincide with menstrual cycles, stress, or hormonal imbalances that trigger excess oil production and inflammation. Unlike surface-level pimples, hormonal acne tends to be deeper, more painful, and slower to heal. Managing these flare-ups requires a gentle yet effective approach.
First Impressions of My Cozy Room
The first thing I noticed when I walked in was how different this place felt compared to other facial places I went to. Instead of a clinical, rushed vibe, the space was intimate, warmly lit, and genuinely calming. It felt almost like stepping into a friend’s cozy, elegant living room!
My session started with a thorough skin consultation. The beauty therapist listened to all my concerns and assured me that the treatment would be tailored to what my skin needed most.
My Ultimate Pore Extraction Facial Experience
We started with a double cleanse using the spa’s own BeKind skincare, which is specially formulated for sensitive and acne-prone skin. I loved how lightweight the products felt: no heaviness, no overpowering fragrance, just clean, comfortable skin.
Then came an enzyme and lactic acid softening mask, which worked to loosen impurities. This was followed by an ultrasonic skin scrubber that sweeps away buildup from my pores without any harsh scrubbing.

Even with my high pain tolerance, I’ve had experiences where I left looking like I’d been in a fight with my skin. But this was different. My therapist worked methodically, checking in with me often, and her technique was so gentle that I barely felt any discomfort. She managed to clear out stubborn blackheads and congestion without leaving my skin angry or blotchy. I was so impressed!

Once my pores were clear, she applied a Pore Refine Mask to tighten and calm my skin. Coolight Therapy further helped to soothe any redness and encourage faster recovery. And just when I thought it was over, she surprised me with a crystal eye massage and a hot stone shoulder massage. This is exactly the kind of detail that makes you forget you’re even in a treatment room.

The Results: Noticeably Radiant Skin

Walking out of the treatment room, I almost didn’t recognise my skin. It looked brighter, smoother, and clearer than it had in months. My dry patches were gone, my skin felt deeply hydrated. It was just as promised: zero downtime with no redness and no swelling.
I’ve tried facials at other places before, but they often felt like a checklist of steps rather than a personalised experience. At My Cozy Room, I could tell that my therapist genuinely cared about my comfort and results. The attention to detail and gentleness during the extraction made the biggest difference for me.
Would I Do It Again?
I would absolutely do the Ultimate Pore Extraction Facial again. This isn’t just a one-off “special occasion” facial. It’s the kind of treatment I’d happily book for regular skin maintenance. My skin feels cleaner, healthier, and more balanced, and I’ve already had friends ask what I’ve been doing differently.
If you’re dealing with clogged pores, acne, or just want a facial that delivers visible results without the dreaded post-extraction downtime, the Ultimate Pore Extraction Facial at My Cozy Room might just be your skin’s new best friend.
