I was pretty excited about this product. Initially, I was super happy to see it pull out all my impurities. But after a few days, I realized it made my blackheads come back much worse and more prominent than before. Skeptical, I tried it again and yet the same thing happened again. Too good to be true I guess.
I like this product but I wish it pulled out more junk. It works pretty well, but I don't feel like it gets everything out. I'll probably use this in addition to another product that works a bit better.
Received one of these pore strips for free in a magazine. It definitely had the desired effect in removing blackheads but unlike other brands i've tried, these were extremely painful to remove!! I would not recommend these if you have sensitive skin! It left my nose extremely tender/raw/red for about a day after using it (used it at night). The pain and subsequent side effect is not worth it to me.
Like other brands, it should come with a multi-step, prep and recovery serum/strip to bring out the blackheads before hand and rehydrate and sooth after the strip is removed to prevent damaging the skin.
I currently purchased this particular product from walmart.
I am a little disappointed in this product. In the past I have found that if you pay a little extra for nose strips, you will definitely get your moneys worth. This was not the case for this one in particular.
Three of my family members tried this strip, all three with different results and different opinions.
I usually don't particularly purchase nose strips as I do not have many big pores on my nose and to me, using a strip is not necessary.
I tried the strips on my brothers, both have oily acne prone skin. They have bigger pores on their noses that clog up easily. One of them, the strip didn't even dry! He has very oily skin, but after using the strip twice, it was not effective.
My other brother has a similar skin type, but for him the strip worked great!
I believe this product is something you purcahse and try for yourself. It may work for you and not for others.
I don't remember how I got a sample of this, but I decided to use it today.
Pros:
- easy to use
- fast (only takes 10-15 mins)
Cons:
- tingly feeling remains after I remove it (I have sensitive skin)
I would recommend this to people who are looking for a quick and easy way to clean their pores. But I don't really have bad pores that need to be cleaned out intensely so I think I'll just stick to a good cleaner.
I've tried a sample of these and the charcoal ones. I find that they are very easy to use and comfortable to wear but I found them to be horribly painful removing. I have very sensitive skin and I think they were just way too harsh for me. It left my skin beat red in the shape of the pore strip for a whole night (when I woke up the next morning after doing this the previous evening it had finally soothed down). I didn't even find that it made much of a difference on my nose unfortunately. Although I don't really suffer from blackheads I was hoping this would help with the overall texture of my skin and I don't believe it did. This is probably more beneficial for someone with oily skin.
I just used this strip and was not impressed. I have a small nose so when the strip dried out, it kind of lifted so it really was not able to get all the blackheads out.
I have used these strips several times throughout my life. I find that while they do help a small amount with blackheads, if you have really bad blackheads or really deep ones, they don't do much.
The price is a bit high on these considering you only get a few per package. You can get a no-name brand for a much better price, and the quality is the same (sometimes better).
These have a tendency to leave redness and broken capillaries around the nose, if you use them too often or are overly sensitive. Also, make sure that what you have are actual blackheads and not sebaceous skin follicles.
I received Biore Deep Cleansing Pore Strips in a monthly beauty box. Having never used such a product I was interested in seeing how and if it would work. I followed the instructions on cutting and using the strip. I tried one piece on the nose and the other my chin. I waited the 15 minutes for the strips to feel like paper mache and peeled them off. I found that there was residue left on my nose and chin and I really don't see or feel a difference. This is one product I won't be recommending
I bought this products because I have blackheads on my nose. I used the strips a few times and I didn't see any difference. I did not like the way to use it either, it is long (about 15 minutes) and it hurts a little when you rip it off.
