I use these every other week and the do help and pull stuff off of my nose but once in a while they'll irritate a blackhead I have instead of pulling it out and make it worse or totally miss a more obvious blackhead at the time. I'd reccomend these for use of not more than once a week or else you'll totally irritate your skin.

these hurt me very bad--made my eyes water when i tried taking it off! however, i do like their "ultra" version with menthol.

I keep buying this stuff although I've heard they either don't really do anything or they're actually bad for your skin. It's so addictive, though. I do love to peel it off and see all the gunk that's been pulled out.

This is basically a giant white bandaid for your face. You wet it and attach it your nose. Wait 10-15 minutes and pull it off like you are removing a bandaid. its supposed to pull out blackheads. I dont know why I keep buying this product. It is not something I use alot but every once and a while. I am not sure it does anything. I see some stuff it pulls out but it definately doesnt get pores really clean. i think its just skin! For some reason I just feel better using it. I only get these when they are on sale though! Its a fun product but wont really get rid of blackheads. Try a Blackhead Clearing Scrub instead.

ugh... if you use any products on your skin (BHA, retinA) DO NOT use these strips. They will pull off a thin layer of skin! ouch. On the other hand, I have used these on my husband and they picked up a bunch of gunk.

I love using these strips! After using them, my nose was definitely clearer! I've been using them for almost 1 - 2 years now and i've found that it's the only thing that clears the pores on my nose.

These little guys are awesome!! I try to use them at least once a week & if I don't the blackheads on my nose get really bad or I'll get a really nasty blemish on my chin, right there under your lips in the dip where blackheads clump together. In fact, I think I'm due for one tonight!! :0

I love these. They really clean out my pores. After the horrible experience with the ultra strips, I am back to the regular strips. Not too bad, and my skin looks wonderful.

I tried these several times...nothing ever came out of my pores. I DON'T think that my pores are so clean that nothing should be there if you know what I mean. This was a waste of time.

I noticed that the weather condition in the area will effect how this strip work. I live in CA and have success in using the noise stripes. Few times it does tear off skin on the sides of my noise but usually I can prevent it by tapping some water on more sensitive areas before I take pull it off.

I went to NC few weeks ago (August) and tried to use the strips. It was awful - it won't dry as how it should be and when I tear it off... not only it didn't take off any blackheads, it made my skin red and painful. Of course it also took away some of my real skin...

I suppose it is due to the humidity in that area... Good thing I live in CA...

Revised 4/4/2003: Do you know in Asia they sell this strip in lavender scent? It smells so nice...

These strips are great! When used once a week or less, they pull all sorts of nasty stuff out of your pores. They have to be pulled off very slowly so you don't damage your skin and so the blackheads will adhere more to the strip than to your pores. Probably this method is much less damaging than manually extracting everything, and definitely less time-consuming.

Their packaging is old, and there are coupons in there for other Biore products that expired way back in 1998. I don't know why they don't change the brochure in there.

I don't reccomend trying these if you have even remotely dry skin or sensitive skin... they will pull out blackheads, along with a good portion of hair and skin... Yikes!

I love these. They are little miracle workers for my blackheads and work wonders! I only need to use them once or twice a month because my blackheads are virtually nonexistant after using this product for a few months. I love that the proof is right on the strip after I pull it off - I guess I've been lucky with these! Great product.

I love this new edit feature! Anyways....I was a faithfull Biore Strip user for years (maybe I'd use one every two months or so) but recently they've been killing my skin! My face is clear but I like the idea of the Biore strip so I decided to go run out and buy some more. Well, the next day after having used on the skin around my nose was red and raw and it was so dry! Yuck! I'm giving up on these.
