I dont know. I have tried these a few times and followed their video and it really doesnt work that well. Definitely not what they charge you for --$11.95! Not worth it. Barely anything gets pulled out and it is rare that the blackheads are even noticed by this product. I would not mind trying the 'ultra' one, maybe they fixed it up, but I wont buy this again.

Here is the 'how to' video: http://www.drugstore.com/products/prod.asp?pid=92372&catid=168924&trx=PLST-0-CAT&trxp1=168924&trxp2=92372&trxp3=1&trxp4=0&btrx=BUY-PLST-0-CAT

I cannot believe I even thought of buying the Pore Strips by Biore. These are supposed to eliminate blackheads on your nose, and yes you do see the instant result as you lift the strip off your nose, but that will happen evry time, mainly because most of our oil glands are found on the nose! At first you might be very impressed when you see that it has collected a bunch of gross blackheads. However, there is more to this product, than meets the eye.
Basically, you need to wet your skin, apply the strip, wait for it to dry completely and then remove it (gently!!). This removes the blackheads (and almost always misses a few), along with a layer of your skin. You can put scotch tape on your nose and it will have more or less the same effect. The problem is, when you rip the dry strip from such a delicate area of your face, you risk damaging your skin. If anyone has tried this already, you will agree that it feels worse than removing a bandaid, or at least for me it did. If you accidently let the strip attach itself to the sides of the nose or the start of your cheek, it will be even more painful.
Another downfall is that the blackheads inevitably came back a few weeks later. Therefore, this is not a cure for clogged pores. In addition, if you do not wet your skin enough prior to applying it, when the cloth dries up on your nose, it will be very difficult to remove. I sometimes had some of the strip still attached to my nose after I tried to remove it as best as I could. People with sensitive skin or with skin disorders should absolutely NOT use this.
I also feel the price is ridiculously high for such a product. The only good thing about this is that I'll be saving money by not buying this again.

- get rids of blackheads (but it'll come back)
- after using it, you should use a clanser or toner.
- it's so pricey now. best place to get it is wal-mart.

I wish this was more affordable. I can get the same kind of results from steaming I am sure but I love the visual results.

I liked this product! Its like making a paper mache on your nose! If used wrong or too frequently though it won't work well! I also suggest putting lots of water on your nose and pushing the paper firmly in place for at least 2 minutes after the application. I always leave it on for at least 20 minutes or until I feel like the paper could crack off my nose. Also, read the instructions carefully and never put water on the sides of your nose or cheek because trust me, it stings!! It's usually hard to tell if it worked until you lift the paper in light, which I find gross but I definitely noticed a difference after my makeup application the next morning! I would only recommend this product to someone who uses it frequently enough otherwise it would be a complete waste of money.

it never pulls any black heads out!!!!! whats up with that

In my opinion it doesnt work, never sticks to my face tight enough. Even after I have done it, and had friends do it for me. Not effective enough for my skin :(
