Today, I am reviewing what is essentially the Biore pore strips for the nose but this is a three-step process instead of just putting the strip on your nose.
Step 1: After cleansing your nose, (I ended up wiping it with a cotton pad soaked with Bioderma) you place this strip on your nose and wait for about 10-15minutes for the product to soak in. I did not precisely time myself; instead, I just let it soak until the sheet itself was mostly dried out. I'm assuming that was more than 15 minutes.
The actual strip did not cover all my nose, especially in the front, which would have been nice, but I suppose since this was a nose strip, that cannot be helped. Since it is an essence "sheet" mask, it felt nice on my skin.
Step 2: This is the actual strip that takes out the sebum from your pores. It's very tacky and you are to ensure your nose is wet before you lay the strip onto your nose. This is about 5-10 minutes, which I actually kept at the time suggested since I felt the longer I kept it, the more it would hard my skin.
When I peeled off the strip, I did see a few blocked pores become clearer, but I didn't see *so many* sebum plugs and I do have a lot on my nose.
I think, to be fair, it may be because these kind of strips, in general, can only be effective where the strips contact the skin and the nose is not a smooth area for that. As you can see in the picture, supra, the shape of the strip is such that it does get to the sides of the nose but not the front; depending on where you need sebum removed, this might not be the best option for you.
Step 3: This was my favourite part. After you pull off the strip, this goes back in to moisturise and tighten the pores. This really did its job. My pores around my nose felt cleaner and tighter. I kept it in much longer than recommended and I just puttered around the house until the sheet was basically dry. I loved how my nose felt and it really did feel cleaner even the next day.
Would I recommend it? If you're looking for a miracle product, this is not it. But if you want sthing that does take away some of those sebum plugs and does "pamper" you by providing moisturising sheets on your nose, this is a great product to try.
This also has instructions written in English which I know helps those who cannot read Korean. I also adore how the little pig's nose goes from clogged to clear. It's those little details that make me smile.
I hope you enjoyed this review and if there is anything you'd like me to review, do let me know.

| As you can see, this doesn't cover the entire nose. The shape is the same for all three. |
