I use these sparingly only because I don’t want to irritate my skin but these work fantastic definitely make sure your skin is good and wet to get best results not just a little damp basically have water dripping off your face and then when they dry and feel really hard pull them off I wouldn’t recommend pulling them off fast I do it slow and seem to pull the most that way. Hope this helps.

If you live an active lifestyle, you know that dirt and oil can clog up your pores and leave you with a bumpy and discolored nose.For years I’ve had bad acne and pimples plague my face but with this andAveeno Positively Radiant Skin Brightening Daily Scrub 5 oz (140 g)I’ve had absolutely clear and beautiful skin.I’ve used both the nose pads and the face pads twice a week and have seen drastic differences in the smoothness and diminishing of pore size. My skin also feels very refreshed and clean.This is also a great deal (12 nose, 12 face strips for under $20)!The only advice I’d give for using this product is to not use it so often that it may damage your skin with constant and prolonged use.

I have been battling with my skin since 8th grade. I am a senior in college now. That’s a long time. A long, red, self-conscious, self-confidence annihilating time. I don’t have a pimple problem so much as a blackhead problem. My skin seems to produce silly amounts of sebum which clog the bejesus out of my pores. The issue has resolved itself some on my nose and cheeks but my forehead is the main problem. These pore strips do a rather nice job of yanking out some of the blackheads.The package comes with, as it says, 12 nose strips and 12 forehead strips. I use these in a manner that probably differs from most; the directions say to ONLY use the nose strips for the nose and forehead strips for the forehead. I ignore that. My problem area is my forehead and I honestly stick a nose strip on there AND a forehead strip. The shape of the nose strip with the little extended area makes it easy to get that little bit of skin in between your eyebrows. The regular forehead strip will go closer to my hairline to basically cover the entirety of my forehead between the two. That was one of the complaints I have with the strips; the forehead strip is TINY. There’s no way anyone could get enough coverage on their forehead with just one of those alone, hence my unusual methods.The way I have been using the strips seems to be working to date; I use them about twice a week right after my morning shower. I will wash my face with the Neutrogena Clear Pore Cleanser/Mask and let it sit on my face during the duration of the shower. I will then wash it off and let the hot water run over my face for a little bit to keep the pores open. When I get out I dry my hair very quickly and then slap the strips on while my forehead is still wet. After 10-15 minutes the strips become stiff and I slowly yank them off as the directions say edges to center.Generally the results aren’t amazing. I’m not pulling out nearly as much gunk as some of the users have posted pictures of, but there’s a good ten or so blackheads per strip. The way I see it, that’s still twenty less clogged pores on my face which is worth the price of the strips. I have started using these in combination with the Aztec Secret Indian Clay Mask which draws all of the impurities to the surface, my hope is to have found an effective combination between the two. So perhaps I will start seeing more stuff pulled out with everything on the surface of my skin instead of lodged deep in there.All in all the strips don’t work miracles for me but they certainly aren’t ineffective either. As long as the strips remove even a few blackheads per use, I will continue to use them.

So I’m a guy, and I have no idea how I get so many whiteheads and blackheads in my nose. Before I was enlightened, I thought that the blackheads were little hairs sticking out of my nose. Then I realized that it was just oil and dirt – after using these pore strips.The combo pack is great because I can use the "face" ones to do the parts of my cheeks right next to the nose. Highly recommend getting these and using them once every week or two!

I’m sure there’s something “bad” about using these strips to pull the “junk” from your pores (much like “extractions” are often not recommended by skincare pros), but I love them. My only complaint is that the box is incredibly “girly” (by traditional american standards – which I don’t like, but can’t get rid of on my own…), so they look like “makeup” in my medicine cabinet. Personally I don’t care, but I can’t see a (male) football player buying them.That’s besides the point – these work great for clearing the pores – even more so if you do a quick steam first, and follow with a (GENTLE!) self-extraction session. I pop a couple on as soon as I finish a shower, and they’re dry and ready to remove when I’m dried-off. The combo pack is great because you get both sizes/uses – although really, it’s not going to kill anyone to use either for the other use!

I don’t know how they work, but they are cool. I put a nose strip on my nose (there are slits to make it lay down nicely), and about ten minutes later, I was staring at what it pulled out of my clogged pores. The sticky side of the strip left a little residue on my nose, but it came off with hot water. The face strip was a little tricky, I tried it on my chin and when I pulled it up, I wanted to scream, I guess I have a little more hair than I would care to admit on my lower lip and it stuck pretty good. I may end up cutting the strips in half in the future. These are still a pretty neat little item!

I really didn’t like how it was black and I couldn’t really see the junk whenever it pulled this off my nose. It didn’t really took as much as people said it would it just took some and i left it on for 15min once too. Ill just stick to biore.

I tested this on my boyfriends face as he has larger pores than mine and after peeling it off his nose, I saw all the little “fuzzy appearance” of the dirt and oil that was remove. It doesn’t hurt to use and I find the best results are after facial cleansing and slight steaming of the face.

ok, so i wasn’t happy about waiting over 2 weeks for arrival.. and then i tried these strips tonight. i don’t know what all the fuss is about them hurting when you remove them? i like them a lot! i didn’t give them 5 stars because they don’t take most of the white and black heads off, but they did take a lot of the stubborn ones off. Plus it does NOT hurt when you remove them.. however i do have some thick skin..literally.. tan and non sensitive.. easily came off , but i did need to rub off a little left on the top and side of my nose.. not a big deal… overall – happy and glad i bought these!
