Pros:

Pores almost subsided and so did the swellling underneath the skin

Cons:

Yeah ... It pinched a bit when removing the strip and all, but how else would you be able to reap the benifits

Great product, can't wait to see the results after continued use

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.

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.

Pros:

* immediate results
* skin is instantly smoother

Cons:

* can be tricky to get the hang of
* pinches the skin slightly
* does not get all of the blackheads

This product is a good addition to a skin care regimen. After I first used it, I was so surprised by how soft my nose felt. It's a shame the strips are not bigger. It did get a noticeable amount of blackheads and build-up off my skin, which is a relief. It kind of grosses you out knowing that junk was all up on your nose! Unfortunately, there are some downsides to the pore strips. While it does remove *some* of the blackheads from your nose, it does not remove them all. For me, it didn't even remove a majority of them, just a portion (even though I made sure to follow all directions and use the pore strips properly). That was a little disappointing, but it's better than not getting any removed at all. Also, it takes some time to do it right. You should wait 15 minutes for maximum effect, and depending on your schedule, that could be a bother. The strips do "pinch" a bit when you're removing them (if you did it right!) but it's nothing you can't handle. None of my skin was ripped or torn off, thankfully. If you can handle tweezing, you can handle this. That all being said, I think it's a pretty decent product. I recommend using a toner afterwards since your pores are clearer.

Pros:

cleans pores
shows the junk in the pores
easy to use

Cons:

may hurt to remove

I use about every 2 weeks, but unlike most i cover my face in those stips. Acne is cause by clogged pores and these strips unclogge them. When i use them on my face i see the junk i see when i use them on my nose but less. My acne has gone down so much since i started doing this.

Pros:

Quick
Effective

Cons:

Expensive

Definitely removes yuckies (you can see it on the strip), but doesn't remove all of it. With regular use (every 5-6 days) I definitely noticed a reduced number of breakouts after a few weeks.

it's now a must have for me. i use it about twice a week and it doesn't just remove my blackheads, it kind of prevents them.
