Pros:

Certainly looks impressive
Removes sebum plugs

Cons:

Doesn't do a lot for acne
May aggravate acne
Really expensive

The first time you use a Biore nose strip, it looks awesome- all those sebum plugs on the strip makes you think you've done some deep pore cleaning. I know the first time I used it, I was like WOW! However, this is pretty much an illusion. The fact is, removing these sebum plugs this aggressively causes your body to produce more sebum to fill those pores (which are now empty), thus aggravating any preexisting acne. You can't really use this over an active acne pimple because it can't really pull anything out due to the inflammation. You are better off letting the acne run its course. In conclusion, I think this is definitely not a product to help with acne; it's really for people who don't have acne who want to reduce the appearance of the pores on their noses.

Yes, that's a no in the instructions, DO NOT use on acne spots, only blackheads.

What you need to do is wash your gas gently with something frothy and oil free but not acne wash. Then you need to use witch hazel toner and a makeup pad to swipe it over the face, then you need to put tea tree oil on a cotton tip and dab really well on your big pimple areas and other areas you think will flare back up lightly, this is important. It's a natural anti bacterial that cured my first navel piercing infection OVERNIGHT, then you put your moisturizer on after 5-10 minutes. The moisturizer will counteract that overproduction you mention and the witch hazel will have kills a few bacteria bits in the open pores first while the tea tree oil will continue to do so under the moisturizer. It's not a perfect system but you will feel so clean and soft after a day or two once the skin settles back down. I'm lucky in that I don't have that issue you've had but then again I've always taken the above precautions to a varying degree(if I'm really mad at my skin I'll use the tea tree oil solution(water and tea tree oil premade in the factor, not pure tea tree oil) all over my face and not moisturize. It will hurt your skin though I'm sure if you did that. So I wouldn't recommend it.

Works for blackheads.. but to rough on nose.

Pros:

Removes blackheads

Cons:

Irritating
Can cause issues with skin

This product does what is says for blackheads.. it will remove them.. but it can break the skin of your nose, and potentially cause spider veins.

Pros:

somewhat efficient
covers well the area of the nose

Cons:

does not clean well very clogged pores
sometimes peels off skin
only takes off surface gunk

i have very clogged pores. after a shower, they barely open. so i decided to try these, and at first i was not impressed. but then it got worse because the strips were almost blank, and we could see that my nose still has its usual and numerous tiny dark spots filled with dirt. i follwed the instructions carefully. i don't see why it would not work. It said on the box that i would get deep cleansing and results quickly. I am not satisfied, and it really isn't worth that much.

hm,, questionable..
So i sort of questioning whether to continue buying pore strips.. personally i don't think they unclog pores and pull the black heads away. Well, they don't with me anyways. but, they do make my skin (where i apply the strips) feel soft, which i don't know if that's a good thing or not (they might be ripping the top layer of skin off?) but they still leave the gunk in my pores. they're not to expensive but i think $14 is a rip off.

Pros:

apparently work for most people
easy to apply / clear instructions

Cons:

didnt remove a single black head
expensive ( $10 for 8 )

Just tried my first one and got terribly disappointing results! So i looked online for tricks to get better results. Found out that if you soak face pads in baking soda mixed with water and apply to your nose for 10 minutes before, your results should be better. going to try this soon and hopefully this can help others with the same problem! (:
