Biore Ultra Pore Strips with Glycerin, Package May Vary, 6 Count (Pack of 1)

Let's discuss Biore Ultra Pore Strips with Glycerin—the small, sticky strips that promise to liberate you from the blackhead plague and the more shameless, daytime-dwelling version of the gnat with a Yamaka. If you have ever stared at yourself in the mirror and thought, "Hey, that's a whole lot more blackhead than I should have," then Biore Pore Strips might be your answer.How effective are they? Well, putting one on your nose is like performing a mini-exorcism on your face. The strip seems to take one look at your pores and say, "Not today, demon!" After it's been on for a while, you peel it off, and—allow me to refrain from too many exclamatory adjectives—it's pretty gross what you see on the strip afterward. But it's good that you're seeing it and not, you know, harboring it unseen in your pores. That said, it's really only a temporary fix, along the same lines as "playing doctor with a pimple."User-Friendliness: Using these strips is simpler than faking enjoyment at a family reunion. Just moisten your nose, apply the strip, and let it do its thing while you consider your life decisions. We're about to make a choice—pizza or skincare? Who are we kidding? The strip will fulfill its end of the bargain, and we will enjoy the copious amounts of cheese and grease that we eat.The Goodness of Glycerin: What's this? Glycerin? Think of it as the fairy godmother of skincare components. It helps to hydrate while you extract your pores' deepest secrets. It also helps the process feel a bit less like a medieval torture device and more like a spa day gone slightly rogue.To sum up, Biore Ultra Pore Strips get my highest recommendation as a way to remove blackheads and to achieve a fresh, clean nose—while also letting you indulge in a bit of dark humor. They won't help you solve the truly big, nagging life problems that leave you questioning your choices or the cleanliness of your living space. But the strips will give you a few moments of high-satisfaction skincare before you return to the serious business of being you. So slather on some skincare, revel in pore-unblocking as a form of self-care, and embrace the enjoyment of your fresh, strip-pulled skin.

This was so simple and effective, the skin on my nose had a persistent dry patch making it nearly sore and bled if I pulled it off - used this once, dry skin gone, no soreness or bleeding and no problems when I applied makeup - it went on smooth. Just wished I'd convinced myself before now!

I've been purchasing these strips for years, but have tried many other types and brands too. This particular pore strip I would describe as doing the job. However, you can get other pore strips which are just as good or better - and cheaper too. It's worth noting that this product will remove blackheads and sebaceous filaments (particles released from oil glands which everyone has as they are found in every hair follicle on the skin). The former are black, at least at the tip, and form when excess dirt and oil are trapped in sebaceous filaments. Sebaceous filaments are clear/yellow and are not harmful in and of themselves and they actually help oil flow seamlessly to the skin so that your skin remains moisturised.Pros:- Easy to apply and remove. Some pore strips leave a lot of residue afterwards, and your skin can look very red if they are difficult to remove.- Does a decent job cleaning out pores and removing dead skin - and it really is quite satisfying when you see all the gunk that has been removed.- Fully hardens within 15 minutes and easily contours to your nose.- I have quite reactive, sensitive skin, but have had no reaction when using these pore strips.Cons:- Expensive for what they are.- There's usually a decent number of blackheads which the strip is unable to remove from your nose, especially if you have pores which are on the smaller side.Recommendations:- You should use these strips a maximum of once a week. The adhesive can irritate your skin and if your skin is thin or sensitive you may be causing small tears not visible to the eye - over time this can weaken your skin. Generally you also want to avoid pulling on your skin too much, and using pore strips can exacerbate pre-existing skin conditions and lead to infection.- These strips are best used after a warm shower which helps open your pores. Your skin must be damp. If you're struggling to get the strip to adhere to your skin, dip the side with the adhesive very briefly into some lukewarm water before trying again.

They work great as long as you actually follow the instructions lol. I find the shape a bit awkward (it's never long enough in the centre to reach the tip of my nose) but it's probably hard trying to accommodate the average nose size. Just a warning if you have a longer nose

The product removes some black heads, but it doesn't remove completely, leaving behind a sticky residue of the strip on your nose. Not the best product I've used but does work.

So I was a bit sceptical at first based off a video I saw on here saying it doesn’t stick! But no way they must of not followed instructions! The mask works!!! I tell you I have never seen so many whiteheads and black heads! I thought my nose wasn’t that bad but GOSH! After using this my nose feels softer and 1000000 times cleaner! Make sure to properly clean your nose and wet it and then apply a bit of water on top of the mask, at first it might feel like it is not sticking but it is! It is just wet so you gotta let that dry! I mean completely dry!!! When it feels like dry paper ok your nose peel it right off!! Do it slowly so everything has time to peel out with the paper/mask and you will be shocked! Definitely recommend!! Will be coming back for more!

I dunno if mine were faulty I put one on it was barely moist and did absolutely nothing, nothing came out of my nose and didn't stick well at all to my nose I almost had to hold it down for a good 15mins.
