Nose Pore Strips

[xiongmaomao]

I use Biore nose pore strips and they work really well, but does anyone know if they actually make your pores bigger?

I dont think they make your pores bigger, they are supposed to clean the clogs out of your pores, and when you keep your pores clog free they are supposed to go smaller, i used to use them alot too, i think they actually made my pores look smaller, i want to start using them again.

i've used them before, but tbh my pores aren't bad to begin with so i didn't really notice a difference. They're nice to use though once in a while, i probably wouldn't use them all the time though...

I don't think they make your pores bigger. I have used them before and I didn't really like them. Glad they are working for you though!

They r supposed to shrink out the pores not make them bigger!

They don't make your pores bigger, but when you've had a clogged pore for a very long time (years) they can be permanently enlarged.

i agree with perlanga. you might also find them larger simply because your pores are clean. i like those strips but gosh i always have glue on my nose each time i remove them. soo annoying.

I read that they can actually be bad for your pores because they strip them of oils, etc and leave them open for dirt and icky stuff to get in.

I use them every other week or so and haven't noticed a difference though.

I think as long as you only use them a couple times a week max your pores/skin should be okay. Any more than that and you could irritate the skin.

Well I think there are better ways to remove the bleakheads.

I use AHA lotion daily and Borghese Active Mud once a week. Products like AHA/BHA/Differin helps your skin to remove the dead cells, and by using the Mud it makes the blackheads comes out more that can be easily removed.

The nose strip can't solve the problem, in fact it might even irritate the skin (before when I use it my nose always turns red).

those things peeled the skin off my nose >.<

I have used them before, and I like them! My pores almost always look smaller afterward. I have very sensitive skin, so I usually use the "face strips" on my nose, because they aren't as intense. In response to Isometh, you can put cool water and then toner on your nose after you rip it off, to close your pores, and then moisturizer so it doesn't dry out. That's what I do and my nose is usually fine.

I love biore strips! I only use them every once in a while, a box of six lasts me many months, mostly because I forget that I have them

But they do seem to work, and it feels good knowing your pores are clean!

I love them, too! I've always had problems with clogged pores, and they seem to help; I usually buy the deep cleaning ones... the really strong stuff!

I'm almost certain they wouldn't make your pores bigger.
