First time buying these. Glad I decided to try them. They really worked well to remove build up on my nose area and they were gentle. I had bought some. With charcoal awhile back and damn near ripped my nostrils off when I tried to remove them. These however were so much better. Highly recommend, especially if you have sensitive skin on your face.

(On my husbands account) Let me just say, I understand this might be gross to some, but let’s be real here, that’s what these things are for! I’ve always wanted someone to post pictures of the job they do, so I’ll be the brave soul! I have always used the equate brand from Wally world, they do the job just fine! But these were on sale so I figured I’d give them a try. Let me just say, these blew the equate out of the water! It’s like they have super grip or something! I have absolutely horrible blackheads on my nose and my cheeks right up close to my nose, always have because I have super oily skin. I cut up a couple pieces to go down all sides of my nose, so this may look larger, I added to the standard strip. The smaller image is the strip I cut and placed on my cheek right up next to my nose. The amount of blackheads on both strips is both gross and completely mesmerizing! I will absolutely be buying these bad boys again! Read more

If you’ve used the original Bioré strips, these definitely feel like a step up in terms of "pulling power," but they require a little more finesse to get right. The Experience: The "Grip" is Key: You really have to ensure your nose is thoroughly wet and that you press the strip down firmly. If there’s even a small air bubble, it won't grab. When it sticks, though, it really sticks. Effectiveness: We tested these on four different people in the family. They worked perfectly on three of us, pulling out a satisfying amount of gunk. For the fourth person, it didn't seem to grab much, so results can vary based on skin type. The Scent: The witch hazel gives it a slightly clinical, "odd" smell. It’s not a dealbreaker, and it fades quickly, but don't expect a floral or fruity experience. Ultra Strength: These definitely feel "stronger" than the originals. My pores looked significantly clearer, and the "C-Bond" technology seems to live up to the claim of grabbing more than the standard strips. Bottom Line: A great deep-cleaning tool to have in your skincare arsenal. Just be patient with the application to ensure you get that firm grip! Read more

I have been using Bioré witch hazel for like a decade now. It works way better than their standard ones. I use this on my forehead, I cut them into strips for my T-zone. I use them right after saunas and it just helps to purge my pores. Read more

This product is OK - Bioré Witch Hazel Ultra Strength Blackhead Remover Pore Strips. I will say right off the bat that this product is one of the least effective methods of acne removal that I've ever tried. Here's why. I have gotten through most of the box, attempting to remove acne from different areas of my face, to no avail. I have tried these strips on my nose and the sides of it, my forehead, and my chin. Despite having blackheads and whiteheads, these acne strips removed very little acne for me, despite reading and following the instructions beforehand. Eventually, I figured I would try different methods of opening my pores before using these strips, in an attempt to increase effectiveness. I ended up using so many strips because I tried different levels of moisture on my skin - light moisture, heavy moisture, and even my facial steamer or exfoliating scrub. I figured, maybe this would help with the more deeply embedded acne? Sadly, nothing worked out for me. I cannot even think of a possible explanation for this - sometimes it is user error, but I've tried everything. I have attached an image of my results. Because results seem to vary heavily among reviews, all I can takeaway from this is that it truly is a gamble whether these will work for you. If you're comfortable investing $20 in a product that could potentially rid you of annoying acne, you're free to. This product does not seem harmful - if anything, it is easy to use, not irritating to my skin, seemingly unscented, and did not leave my skin feeling dry, so there are a few positives. Overall, I would not recommend this product to anyone else. In its place, I will likely continue using clay masks (e.g., bentonite clay with apple cider vinegar), which works well over time but takes dedication and consistency. Read more

I have used biore nose strips for decades and I love them . Even when I use sugar scrubs , charcoal scrubs ( which do help ) , apricot seed scrubs ,etc…. My pores never get entirely cleaned. 20% glycolic acid also helps but if I use it too often it leaves my skin reddened and peeling . Biore cleans my pores very well and leaves my pores looking smaller —- and my skin looks great . Read more
