bh’s Anna reviews Bioré Combo Deep Cleansing Pore Strips

1) How does the product work and how should it be used?
The Bioré pore strips are designed to be used on your nose and forehead once a week. The strips cling to the skin to lift out dirt when removed. The strips give your pores a deep clean and help to prevent blackheads. To use, simply remove the strips from their pouch and apply to wet skin. Then leave the strips to dry and harden for 10-15 minutes and pull them off (along with all the dirt in your pores!).
2) What were your initial thoughts after the first use?
When I pulled the strip off my nose, I could see the long, icky, pimply stuff that had been in my pores (gross, I know but weirdly satisfying). Pulling off the strips is certainly not the most pleasant experience as it does pull on your skin – it’s kind of like ripping a Band-Aid off in slow motion. My skin felt tender and a bit irritated for a few minutes after using the strips but this didn’t hang around. I was impressed with how well the strips worked after my first use.
3) After prolonged use, did you notice a difference in the texture of your skin?
I wouldn’t say the overall texture of my skin has changed, however each time I use them I do notice a heap of gunk and dirt stuck to the strip so they’re obviously doing a great job of cleaning out my pores. I don’t think these strips are going to give my skin an improved texture or reduce the appearance of my pores in the long run, but they are certainly a great weekly addition to my skin care routine, to give an extra deep clean in problem areas.
4) Did the product do what it claimed?
Yes, these strips definitely did what they claimed to do. The instructions were extremely easy to follow and I found the result to be exactly as described on the pack – my pores got a super deep clean and they certainly unblocked all the stubborn dirt that gets built up throughout the week. Thumbs up from me!

I love using these, and something weirdly satisfying when you see all the gunk it removes from your pores!

I love these Biore blackhead removing strips and to have them in combo, I can clean out most of the blackheads and whiteheads from both my forehead and nose. These are so effective that i have incorporated this in my beauty regimen, once a week. You can actually see all the fibre like gunkie yucky stuff sticking out of the removed strip, but I do agree, the effect on me seeing these is "weirdly satisfying"! :)

I didn't like any of the Biore pore strips, they dried (or maybe pulled off) the skin on my nose and left me with flaky dryness, even when my skin wasn't that dry to begin with :( They do remove some blackheads but not all the visible ones. I think my pores actually got a little bigger after using if anything... but nothing time and skincare can't fix

I am a user of this product and have found it reliably good for removing deep cloggy stuff from my pores especially the nose , chin and forehead. It does seem to leave pores looking exposed but adding this to a cleansing routine, it does help. I would probably use these strips once a month as it does feel like you are peeling a layer of skin.

An excellent product for problem deep-seated blackheads!

These are good but you need to make sure it is totally dry before removing, otherwise you end up with a sticky mess!

So oddly satisfying seeing what gets pulled out your nose.

I've tried this product in the past & it is really satisfying but I'm always worried about leaving it on too long.

I haven't tried the combo pack, just the nose strips which work for me.

Pretty gross at first but satisfying when you see the little dots on the strip after you take it off.

It really is weirdly satisfying to pull out these strips. But I'm a little scared to keep using them as I'm not sure if the pulling on the skin is good.

I love these and have been using them for years. I find they work best if I use a bit of my rosewater/witch hazel toner beforehand.

My husband used to use these weekly when we were first married. He used to swear by them. Tried them on me once or twice and it was horrible. My skin has always been dry and sensitive, and the pore strip did more damage than good (left my nose red and horrible for days). I never tried them again.
If they work for you though, that's awesome!
