How long does the turmeric infusion last? The life of the sponge or a couple of uses?

It's hard to really know. The sponge doesn't lose color, but it's not like you can sense (see or feel) the turmeric. Not sure how the infusion actually works.

Im not sure if the sponge has an "infusion." Not sure if I understand the question. I have been using my tumeric konjac sponge once a day for months now and it is exactly as I received it the first day. I am sure it will eventually wear out and I will need to order a new one. The benefits I get from using my sponge has been wonderful for my skin. I hope I have answered any questions you have about the sponge.

I've been using mine for about a month, it's shrank, but did not changed its turmeric-yellow color that much

My husband uses it to ice his knees after taking a shower & before going to work. It slowly melts over a period of 2 hours, out of the freezer, on the human body. I used to take them in a small cooler for after physical therapy & as long as the cooler is cold to start with, they lasted about the same. I have placed them in freezer bags about the same size for multiple use. The seams on these newer ones are fragile, this way, if the gel starts to leak, you can still use it. We used the one he got at the hospital for 5 years--but we took really good care of it. That's how we got the name & information to get the new ones, but we didn't need a case. I'm glad amazon offers them as an add on. Saves $. My husband uses it to ice his knees after taking a shower & before going to work.

The sponge is used for aiding in moisturizer application. It helps the skin absorb the moisturizer better.

All the previous answers are correct. Also, we recommend to sanitize the sponge once every two weeks. To sanitize the sponge, place the sponge in a bowl of water and microwave it in a normal setting for 1:30 minute.

it really depends on how often you use it and how you clean/sterilize it. Also how your skin likes it (*or not) will affect the longevity

I don't know. I have not used it much after trying initially. Gave up a little due to the strong clove smell which limits use to before shower. At 5-6 drops per use I can see it lasting over a month.

Well nothing is immortal however this is the longest lasting sponge I've ever used.

That's difficult to answer. It depends on how often you use it and for how long.

Honestly - I've never had any left over for that to be a question. Sorry - I have used the same tube for 90 days and it was effective at both sittings. I doubt it expires all that quickly.

I am 52 and I like the turmeric sponge for mature skin. My skin is dry and I like using the sponge rather than drying soaps or detergents. It's also a lot less expensive than high-end products. My daughter have liked the charcoal sponge which is helpful in combating acne. I hope this helps.

I have used some of these sponges for over 6 months. The smaller ones tend to fall apart much sooner. I have learned that they can be cleaned using a hydrogen peroxide solution, but most don't need this.

YES! We infuse our turmeric konjac sponge with food grade turmeric. Food grade means it could be eaten safely (of course we don't recommend you do). We don't use cosmetic grade turmeric in our sponges, as that would mean the ingredient could contain up to 30% bacteria.

I did the starter pack, used it twice a day and it lasted about 3 weeks. The powder seems to go faster than the liquid, since you are supposed to "cake" it on. I didn't have much luck with it, but it seems to have worked for a lot of other people.

They say if you take good care of the sponge, it should last for 3mns. I've used it w/out cleanser and it is fine- I've also used it with cleanser. Depends on the amount of make-up I have on. Regardless- I really like it.

I used the Vitashower SF-2 which was larger than the SF-1. The SF-2 lasted approximately 9 months. The SF-1 lasts a little less than 6 months. All of this of course depends on usage. How often you shower how long you shower, how much water you use while showering, and so forth. Tommy

The turmeric capsule is pretty typical in size for a gel-type. Maybe 1/2 to 3/4 inch long and slender and yes, you can open in to mix in liquid.

It has to be used for a few times before becoming really absorbent.....it is necessary to wring it as dry as possible. It will become more absorbent than a sponge......mine last a very long time.
