Didnt do anything

Thhis product didnt do anything to my blackhead really..and believe me i have a ton of blackheads on my nose .. the first time i tought that i didnt used it correctly so i didant a second time following the steps on the box but still nothing..

Good but normal ones are better

I was super excited to use these, I had good experience with the regular ones so I figured these would be just as good if not better! when I put them on I was disappointed by how little they took out of my nose.

Average pore product

I tried these Biore deep cleansing charcoal pore strips courtesy of cineplex’s April issue. They are very similar to the original white pore strips with exception to the black colour. I expected more of a charcoal mask feel and really couldn’t tell much difference between these and the original strips. I also had to wash off some remaining black residue.

I’m not sure I can see much difference before and after. I think I will stick to charcoals masks, but these would be ok in a pinch.

Not as good as their regular strips.

I love the biore strips. I thought the charcoal would really get deep down into the pores but I found that it didn't get any deeper than their regular strips. I love the regular strips I find it works so well so it's not that the biore products aren't good I just don't like this strip in particular.

not for me

I was experiencing some blackheads so I bought this product hoping it would work as I use other biore products and love them. Unfrtunatly I did not find that these strips worked at all for me.

I've used better

I wanted to love these so bad .
The regular ones work much better than these. They left black inside my pores that we're a bit hard to wash off after.
I purchased some nose strips from my local dollar store that had triple the amount of strips in the box at half the price. Not to mention the cheaper ones pulled out almost every blackheads off my nose.

Gals, this won't work in the longterm

Yes, I used to use these, because I was so excited about the satisfaction of seeing blackheads get pulled out of my nose. But the truth is, while these things might be satisfying, they don't work in the long run. Not only will they make your pores look bigger, but they're only getting the tip of the icerberg when it comes to blackheads, meaning that those little nasties are going to come back REALLY fast! This goes for pore peeling masks as well, basically anything of that nature, not just the Biore strips. If you REALLY want to see a difference in your blackheads, here's what I suggest:

1)Steam face/hot cloth to open your pores. This step is essential to maximize results.
2)Use a 2% salicylic acid solution on target areas, leave to sit on your skin for about 20 mins. This will cut through the grime in your pores.
3)Use a clay mask, and leave on until dry. I personally find the Aztec Indian Secret Clay Mask to work very well. This binds to the impurities in your pores, making it easier to dig them out.
4)Wash off mask when it's dried, and apply a cleansing oil/oil based cleanser to affected area, and let sit for 15-20 mins. This brings whatever is left in your pores to the surface, to be washed away when you wipe away the oil.
5)Use cold water or a pore tightening serum to close your pores, in order to prevent future blackheads from forming!

I know it's a longer process than using pore strips, but the longterm benefits are amazing, and it WORKS! Take it from a former skeptic ;)

This product I not worth it. It is too expensive for the product. This product barely works. When you put it on, you remove barely any blackheads. The strip barley sticks to your face.

Biore Charcoal Pore strips doesn't work for me at all. It barely removes any whiteheads and is very expensive for a tiny pack. Lots of people are concerned about their white and black heads, myself included. After doing some research, I found that pore strips are not an effective way to remove blackheads. There is a distinct difference between whiteheads and blackheads that are stuck deeper under the skin. Whiteheads made up of dead skin cells and sebum, which are natural oils produced by your skin. Applying pore strips may remove a small portion of those whiteheads but often times they are too deep to be removed by the strip and even if they do, they will come right back in a few days. You can still use pore strips, (I actually recommend the original Biore strips since they are stickier) but it's good practice to wash your face with a wash cloth everyday, not just splashing some water and lather some cleansing cream.

I'm a long time user of the regular Biore pore strips and I absolutely adore those. I got the charcoal strips as a free sample and was skeptical of the colour. When I used them, I did get black residue on my face and my fingers. The other thing I found with these was that they weren't as effective as the regular strips. There wasn't much stuff on the strips, meanwhile my pores looked pretty much the same as before I used the strips. I definitely wouldn't recommend these over the original.
