I typically purchase Biore pore strips, but they can be quite pricey. When I saw the price for these, I thought I'd give them a chance. These pore strips are effective, but the biggest problem I have with them is that they stick to my face too well. These are much more painful to remove than the Biore strips and I think they are less effective than Biore too. I've heard about pore strips potentially damaging the skin, and if any strip were to do that, I think it'd be these. Because of the pain-factor, and the fact they are less effective, I don't think I'd purchase these again. I'd rather pay more for the more effective product and use it less often.

Although the price on these are great, they just aren't doing the job. I find it a win or a miss. Sometimes the strip will work great and other times it just feels like i'm taking tape off. It's strange because I use the same method every time. I myself don't have huge pores, so I have tried these on my brother who has larger pores and it's the same for him. He had one time where they worked great and other times where it didn't do a great job. I'm a little disappointed as they are so affordable, but sometimes it just isn't a bargain when the job isn't getting done.
