Easy to use, quick and simple. Make sure your skin is very wet when applying and that strip is completely dry before removing.

I'm 40 years old and at a recent inspection of my face I realized I had horrible blackheads on either side of my nose and on the tip of my nose as well! I was horrified that I had been walking around like this for who knows how long! I purchased this product and was a little worried it would not work for me. I followed the instructions: wet your nose, apply the strip and wait 15 minutes. It worked like a charm! I was so alarmed at how many blackheads appeared on the strip when I removed it! Several dozen! Even the ones on the tip of my nose. My nose has never looked better!

The outside of my nose has been a problem area for me since junior high, as there was always an annoying amount of tiny black dots and little black hairs growing out of it. I'm sure most people don't notice them (my Indian skin hides them well), but I know they're there! Up until now, I'd handled them through daily washing and fingernail extraction (I've still got some scars from my early attempts...). Now that I'm doing better financially, I decided to "splurge" and "treat myself" to these strips. $15 for 6 strips sounds excessive, but I'm only really going to use them for big occasions, so I figured I'd try some before a Saturday event. The directions are fairly easy: wash your face and pat dry, then sprinkle some water on your nose, dry your hands, and separate the strip from the plastic. Spread the smooth part across your nose, and gently rub it for a bit before waiting for around 15 minutes for it to dry. Then gently strip it off your nose from the edges inward. That's the only painful part of the process, as the strip ripped a lot of the hair off of my nostrils. I do have to admit though, that the results were obvious: a LOT of tiny black shards of hair (and other stuff) were left on the strip, and a much cleaner, healthier looking nose was the result. I had to wash my nose off again and then put a bit of aloe vera gel on it, but today (Saturday, after the event) it looks much healthier and fresher. The pores look a lot smoother, and the skin is softer to the touch! Why four stars? Well, it missed some of the blackheads, and a good amount of the hair is still there. For all the stinging pain of the process, I would've thought everything would have been taken off, but it's still enough to make a noticeable difference.

I have tried all different kinds of biore strips. These are the only ones that do anything for me. The regular ones will get a few pores clean, but these Ultra Deep Cleansing ones get so much gunk out! You can see all of it on the strip, and it makes you wonder where it all came from! Best method for using them: wet your nose, but not to where it's dripping wet, then wet your fingers as well. Put the strip on, then use your fingers to smooth it out and make sure it's wet enough. I leave it on longer than it says to, When it's super dry and I can't move my nose, I know it's done. Slowly pull it off from the outside of your nose to the bridge of your nose, stop halfway, then pull the other side from the outside of your nose. You'll definitely see a difference!

I ordered these strips from Amazon because there was a coupon and combined with the current price they were much cheaper than at my local stores. I haven't used biore strips in some years, but I have been spending more time and money on my skin lately, and thought I would try them again. First of all, i don't like the menthol and tea tree in them. These are very minty which kind of burns my sensitive skin. The other posts that say to use these after a shower are correct. Your skin will be much more pliable than after just washing it, kinda like trimming your nails. I have been using BHA, AHA and vitamin C regularly, so I think my pores are looking better, but the BHA really brings up blackheads so they are just sitting on top of my skin now. I thought they needed some help finally getting completely removed so I tried this and it helped. I would definitely suggest using a BHA liquid daily in addition to these. The BHA will bring all the gunk up, and then keep the pores clean after this treatment. I think they work, but I am not sure if they are as effective as they used to be. It didn't pull out as much hard sebum as I remember, but I don't know if it's because my pores are better from the exfoliants I have been using, or if these are different now. Biores strips have torn my skin before, so I am super careful peeling these off now. I get these really wet, and then dab the strip with toilet paper after its on to suck up the extra water so they dry faster.Then I peel them very carefully before they are too too dry, just right when they get hard. I think leaving them on too long is not good. So minus one star for the menthol and minus one for them not working as I remember, and being possibly damaging, but still they are worth a try.

I tend to have dry skin, and have never had problems with acne or anything. But even so, every so often I notice that the pores on my nose are a little plugged. (Gross). I bought this box of strips, which arrived quickly. One strip ripped the junk right from my pores. I kind of like that you can see right on the strip what came out, so you know that it did the job. I definitely recommend. Just make sure to follow the directions: your nose needs to be very wet when you apply the strip, and then you need to wait about 10 minutes or so, to make sure the strip has completely dried. Ripping it off is painful, but worth it.

These have got to be the worst pore strips I've ever used. I have used all the other pore strips by Biore and I was extremely excited to try these. I applied them as the directions stated. For some reason once these started to dry, which was barely five minutes after applying it, they got extremely stiff. When I went to remove them it did not pull anything out of my pores but it was literally pulling my skin. I really wish I knew if the item I got just happens to be defective or if Biore really screwed up with these. I definitely do not recommend these, especially not for those with sensitive skin or anybody for that matter. I was actually planning on returning them but honestly it's too much work and I would rather let everyone else know my experience with these.

I love these things and they work great when used properly. I have pores big enough to drive a truck through, so these are necessity for me. I find I have best results when I use them right out of the shower, because my skin has had time to absorb a lot of moisture, and the heat opens your pores, which is a must. You want there to be a fair amount liquid on your skin to apply them, and you want to press them onto your nose pretty thoroughly right after you stick it on. Once you've afixed the strip, don't mess with it, and try not to move your face too much, just let it dry. That works for most people.
