Wow, that Biore nose strip was rather refreshing.

First time I have ever used one. My nose feels all minty fresh from ripping the top layer of skin off:p

Yeah they work wonders. I was skeptical at first because I used the same type of strips awhile back with no luck, but the Biore ones removed A LOT of blackheads. It was actually pretty nasty.

I think there's a certain degree of superglue required per application.

I would think you need huge pores for these black head strips to work. If you have small pores, there's little to grab hold of. Nonetheless, this topic is totally disgusting. I'm so glad you didn't post any pics of your freshly farmed black heads.

you need to wash your face clean, let it dry first, then apply.

eeeeew, I am not posting pictures of used Bioré nose strips...it's disgusting, btw, if you got relatives in Taiwan (possibly everywhere else in Asia too), they are dirt cheap. works out to about C$0.25 each. Whenever my relatives come over, I ask them to bring me 100 :)

I love them. If I don't screw up the application, there's a black forest that feels really weird. Then when I look at my nose, it's still filled with blackheads:|.

I just use surgical tape form the hospital....works all the same and doesnt cost an arm and a leg :p Especially if i can hit a drop of Mastisol on the tape as well. All for free complements of the hospital :p
