Pros:

Ultra strips are amazing!!! They get so much yuck out!

Cons:

The regular strips don't work as well. In my experience, the regular strips get about 1/10 the amount out...literally.

I've been using Biore strips for years. I bought a bunch on ebay...thinking they were Ultra. They're regular. They don't work at all for me. (In all fairness, they could be older or bad batches???) However, the Ultra is worth the cost.

Pros:

It clears the pores well well.
No more blemishes on MY nose!

Cons:

it strips the skin. Leaves pores wide open and irritated. It's pricey. There are few in the package.

It does its job of clearing the pores, but I find that it leaves my skin quite dry,and the pores open. it also depends on if you are willing to pay for it. There are only 14 strips in the normal size package (I bought one with 28 strips) and some people may find it somewhat pricey. Its meant to be used once a week, so it will last you 3 1/2 months (14 pack).

Pros:

It works great and instantly gets rid of the yuckkkky gunk!!

Cons:

Too expensive, very few strips, not enough coverage.

It is a great treatment, but pricey! And the strips are small.

Pros:

Instant gratification, easy to use, and noticible results.

Cons:

[Nitpicking here:] Requires patience, leaves skin wide open and dry (i.e. itchy, which is a bad combination just ASKING for hand oils), and slightly painful.

While the strip askes for alot: time and - well, actualy JUST time - it comes with great results. As long as you THOROUGHLY wet your nose beforehand, wait as long necassary for it to be REALLY stiff, and pull it off slowely enough so that it can wrench off gunk more effectivly, the ends should more than trump the means. Plus, that little forest of brown things stickin'-up at the end is pretty neat to look at.

Pros:

best item for whitehads on my nose. nuthin else gets rid of my visible stubborn black n white heads

Cons:

i guess price? also u have to master the technique. dont dampen water on top off the strips, i use them after i shower so the white heads come out easier. then as i gt out of the shower. my nose is a little wet, then i put the strip on top of that

works like a charm

Pros:

It certainly pulled out plenty of the gunk in my pores on my nose, which was nice, since I had many blackheads.

Cons:

It seemed to be unable to help some of the more stubborn blackheads, and they're kinda pricey. The tingling sensation was mildly alarming, but not painful or anything.

A good product, but a bit pricey overall. Granted, you are not supposed to use the strips more than once a week, and I've found that I could go about two weeks before I needed to use a strip again. So, while a bit pricey, a box strips can last for several months (generally 2-3), the price actually doesn't seem as horrid as it does at first glance. It was also very effective.

Pros:

It works for me.

Cons:

none

I started noticing blackheads in my noise when i was a kid. My father would yell at me to wash my face. Which i did very often. Anyhow in later life i tried these. They were great for me. The first time i used them it pulled lots of stuff out. They pulled one chunck out that left a small hole which blead all day. But that did heal and i haven't experanced since. I use them once a month and make sure to wash that sticky resadue off that's left behind.

Pros:

It's so satisfying to see gunk from your skin on a little strip of papier-mâché. While you're carefully pulling it off your mind is chanting "Out with the bad"

Cons:

A little expensive. You really don't want to the application because of the price. And it can take up to half an hour for the strip to dry if your climat is damp.

It's enjoyable, but pricy. Try it out. The strips for the nose work the best. Chin, forehead and cheeks... not so much. I use a mild astringent afterwards because your pores are even more susceptible to oil, grime build up now that they are super exposed. An astringent will tighten them up and prevent that. Mind the light burning sensation.
