Pros:

does what it says it will, removes most of the black heads, it's convenient,

Cons:

you have to wash your face afterwards because it leaves some of the adhesive on your skin after you take it off.

it works well, it does exactly what the box says. it doesn't hurt much in the beginning, but after a while it doesn't hurt at all. you have to practice getting your nose wet enough and placing the strip right, but it's easy to use and effective.

Pros:

Gets out whiteheads and blackheads. Clears most of the pores. Great to see all of the dirt/hairs on the nose.

Cons:

Makes your eyes water a little, it only lasts a couple of seconds when removing strips.

They work.
March 15, 2009

Pros:

Visible results, but doesn't work miracles.
Works better than other products on the market designed to remove blackheads.
Targets areas prone to blackheads so the rest of your face doesn't have to be submitted to treatment.

Cons:

Can be painful to remove.
Takes a few tries to learn how to apply and remove correctly.
May have caused, or at least contributed to, the small red spider veins that have appeared on my face over the past year.

I am not someone who has trouble with acne, and needs only light face care since I don't wear makeup. The only thing I've ever had to watch are blackheads in my T zone, which is why I love Biore pore strips. I have been using this product since it first came out, and would recommend it over any other rival brand. It just works better, and is therefore the better investment. However, although I've enjoyed the results over the years, something in the product has changed. It works as well as it ever did to remove dirt buildup from pores, but seems far harsher and more painful to remove than it used to. About a year ago, I started to notice small red spider veins appearing in the sensitive area of skin around my nose, and wondered if something I had done had caused them. I was shocked to see a warning on the box (which I don't ever remember seeing before) not to use the product if you are prone to spider veins. Now I am concerned that usage of this product could actually be the

Pros:

Works great when used properly. You get to see the results; "instant gratification".

Cons:

Usually painful. Sometimes hard to prepare.

I have big clogged nasty pores, so naturally I just want all that gunk to go away. When I've used this product correctly it is really great. Issues arise if you don't make your nose sopping wet it won't stick, but you have to dry your hands thoroughly before handling the strip, in the meantime your wet nose is drying. Most of the pain caused by the strips is the part where it pulls on the sensitive skin under your eyes, and since I doubt you have clogged pores there, I suggest using some scissors and cutting out the area from the strip. Will ease much of the pain. Also, after use, wash your skin thoroughly and then rub down with ice to shrink pores.

Pros:

can see it working

Cons:

have to remember to continue washing your nose afterwords, otherwise dirt just refills your now clean, open pores and things get worse.

the more you use them, the less pain there'll be, not that there's much to start with (like plucking). they work if you follow through with proper aftercare.

Pros:

Pulls out most whiteheads and blackheads, leaves skin smooth and silky, You can see all the pore clogging dirt when you remove the strip! Just think the nasty stuff was in your skin making your acne worse and now its removed!

Cons:

The price. Its like 7 or 8 dollars for 8 strips do its like a dollar per strip.

This really works. Guys should use it too! I recommend only using the strips once a month at the most. Because of the price and it doesnt work as well the more often you use it. Use a scrub like St. Ives in between uses of the strips to keep pores small and unclogged.

Pros:

easy, quick, unclogs SOME pores and gets out SOME blackheads.

Cons:

hurts a little, funny looking, pores are still visible, and only a little less clogged, strips don't continue in the crease of the nose where i get the most blackheads/clogged pores.

they work alright, and i'll still use them. on a regular basis, they get less and less clogged.

Pros:

Gets all of the black heads on my nose out.

Cons:

It hurts a bit to remove, but not too bad.

Get this product if you feel you have a lot of black heads, also .. use the ultra ones instead of just regular, they work alot better.

Pros:

It works, much better than cleansers that say will rid of blackheads.

Worth every cent. For all the people who complain about the pain, there is none!!

Pros:

Works well at removing large blackheads.

Cons:

Pretty painful to pull the strip off after use.

I've had blackheads on my nose for years and after unsuccessfully trying lemon juice (it gave me little pimples all over my nose) I got these strips. I wasn't prepared for how painful it would be to take off, so beware- but I think its worth the pain cause it's the first thing that worked well for me. I've used this twice so far and the first time it worked great and got rid of a lot of the blackheads on my nose. It also made my pores smaller. The second time I used it I didn't see as much success, but even if it only keeps the blackheads to a minimum and small in size that's ok with me. I hope that it continues to work and will eventually remove all blackheads.
