There are many products out there aimed at unclogging pores and reducing the size of pores. Usually these products come in foam, gel or cream face washes, some brands even have clay masks. Only Biore has the Deep Cleansing pore strips. Biore’s Deep Cleansing pore strips are cloth like strips that are stuck on a wet face and dries like paper-mache. Once dried the strips are to be gently removed to reveal what has been removed from your pores.
About

Biore’s Deep Cleansing pore strips also comes in combo and ultra. Their combo set comes in a 14 count box that has strips for both the face and nose area. The ultra comes in a six count box and has only strips for the nose area but this formula is suppose to be stronger than their regular ones.

My Experience
Pros
I’ve been using Biore’s Deep Cleansing pore strips since my earlier twenties. I continue to use this product because it works. I’m always amazed at how much stuff comes off of my face when I removed the pore strips. I’ve been told many times I have nice skin and from looking in the mirror I can’t tell that there’s anything wrong but the pore strips don’t lie. I like that it doesn’t smell bad, it’s easy to use and it doesn’t hurt when I take it off. I don’t have big pores so I can’t say for sure if Biore’s Deep Cleansing strips really minimizes the size of pores. I will say that my nose area doesn’t look as splotchy as it use to. I guess if I have big pores they’d be around my nose area.
Cons
There were a few things about Biore’s Deep Cleansing pore strips that bothered me. Although the strips don’t hurt if I gently remove it, it does tug on my skin a little which worries me because the skin around my nose is close to the sensitive skin around my under eyes. My concern about the tugging is that it could lead to premature wrinkles over time. There’s also some slight stickiness and bits of paper left on my face when I remove the pore strips. My last issue with Biore’s Deep Cleansing pore strips is that the Ultra pack only comes with six strips and it’s price as much as the regular eight count strips. If you think that you can use the nose strips on your face, think again. I’m not sure why it is but I’ve tried it and the nose strips don’t work nearly as well as the strips made specifically for the face area.
Verdict
In my opinion the pros greatly out weight the cons when it comes to Biore’s Deep Cleansing pore strips. The few complaints that I could come up with are very minor ones considering the quality of the product for the price. I’d say Biore’s Deep Cleansing pore strips is worth every dollar because it does exactly what it claims.
