Oil Control Charcoal Pore Strips - 18ct

I love these!!! I splash a little water on my nose area and stick it on and let it dry for maybe 20 mins and when it’s time to come off I can also see it pulling out while I pull it off. You’ll be able to tell when the strip is ready to be taken off when it feels dry and firm. My nose looked way better afterwards! Every single dot on that strip came off of my nose.

They actually work! I have heard mixed reviews on all nose strips. If you follow the instructions, it actually gets rid of blackheads. You have to thoroughly wet your nose then apply the patch so it gets wet. Then I recommend waiting 20 minutes or until the patch is completely dry and hardened. Once slowly removing it peels the blackheads from the pores. There is also 18 in one pack so the price is definitely worth it especially since it works. I highly recommend!

PROS *Prefer ingredients: I had to switch to the charcoal strips after seeing ingredients in original ones. I believe aluminum was one of those I wanted to avoid. *Easier to see results: Can see extracted materials better against black background. The sebum plugs are lighter color if you use strips regularly before sebum oxidizes and darkens more. CONS *Occasional failure as with original strips: Once in a while the adhesive separates from the strip and is left on face so no extraction at all on some parts. Not good when they’re sometimes priced at $1 a strip. And I’m as consistent as possible w how much water I use, how long I let it dry, and how I peel it off.

Now please don't fall for the hype that this is the magic cure for acne and that after one application, you'll have a model face. This does what it's supposed to do: unclog your pores from debris that has been accumulating for too long. If you have a great routine for face care, you technically should not need this product, but since 99% of us are not the best at taking care of our face... you probably should use this. For me, it had been 1 year of not really being in a position to take care of myself as I did before so the damage was there and I was glad to pull out a lot of "gunk" from my pores. Afterward, please follow up with cleaning your face with a neutral face soap, don't forget to moisturize (yes I'm a guy!) and that should help you look sharp. The black charcoal to me looks like a gimmick, but it does make the "nasty stuff" show off more against a black backdrop and since the price was the same as the typical white strips.. I went for it. Also, even though they say it should only be used for your nose, I used strips on my higher cheeks and on my forehead with zero problems. It WILL leave a weird charcoal residue on your face afterward, but it cleans up very easily.

They're decent, but after i take it off i go in and see if it got everything it doesnt but it gets most, the good thing about it is it doesnt hurt as much so thats a bonus

Charcoal is active against the candida that causes Seborrheic dermatitis, but it has to remain on the skin for like 20 minutes. That makes this product perfect for it, especially if you're prone to getting it the creases alongside your nose. I also have keratosis pilaris, and a weekly peel is perfect for removing the dead layers that my skin simply refuses to shed by itself. I've found that leaving it on 30-35 minutes is more effective for blackhead removal. Perhaps it's my thicker skin, or, perhaps i get them too moist in the beginning.

my daughter loves these

I usually do two back to back just to make sure I get as much gunk as possible out. Mildly addictive and great results!

Not working

Nk me gusto proque no te quita nada de suciedad o de qcne, mejor ponte una cinta y funciona mejor

The quality is good. The key point is prep your skin before applying the strip. Preping your skin includes face-steaming and exfoliate. Using the strip on prepped skin would be like cherry on top.

These are great!

Deeply satisfying to see the gunk. Love these.
