Our verdict

The set contains the same Zero Pore Blackhead cleansing oil plus the mud mask, so the real question is whether you want the mask bundled. The ratings look lopsided until you read the counts. The set shows 5 out of 5, but from six reviews, which is too thin to mean much. The standalone 205ml oil sits at 4.6 from around a thousand shoppers, and that is the number we would trust. Both are cleanse-step products tagged for pores, both list oily, sensitive, combination and normal skin, and both are described as gentle enough for regular use. Our ranking comes from Amazon ratings and review volume, so on that basis the single bottle wins on evidence, not on formula. Take the set only if you specifically want the mud mask too and are comfortable being an early reviewer. If you just want a blackhead-focused oil cleanser, the 205ml bottle is the straightforward buy.
