For the rest of my face, I use 100% Australian Tea Tree Oil + FREE Blemish Roll-on Stick with Tea Tree Oil. Tea tree oil is an amazing thing in itself. I tend to get pimples in the form of whiteheads and if I can resist popping them till I get home, I will apply some tea tree oil and the next morning they will literally have shrunk back into my skin. Really Good stuff. The blemish stick actually works pretty darn good too.
So for blackheads get the pore strips and for white heads, get some tea tree oil. Okay, I think we covered all the different colored heads...good luck! So this is kind of a good news/bad news situation. When I used the pore strips, my nose did indeed look fabulous. I had noticed over time I was having to use a mattifying gel over my foundation to keep the shine and cavernous pores from showing. The Biore strips really did pull a lot of junk out of them and I could skip the gel afterwards.
However.....
Take the package directions seriously. They are not meant for delicate skin. Don't use toner or an exfoliant in that area for at least 24 hours. And, think about whether you really want to use them at all. These strips are basically an adhesive and a hair spray ingredient (so says the author of "Don't Go To the Cosmetics Counter Without Me.") They can irritate your skin terribly and in the long run aren't good for it. They cannot be used in combination with Retinol, AHA's or BHA's and will make spider veins more pronounced. Which is a shame because my pores' appearance really did improve immediately. But truth be told, you are probably better off investing in a good exfoliant and/or clay masque.

This product is fantastic. If you don't have a lot of time, dry the strip with a blow dryer set on medium :P I was also surprised at what was in my skin.. I know GROSS! lol Love these things. The trick is use hot water to open your pores, apply, and wait until the strips are completely stiff before removing. I've used the "Deep Cleansing" and the regular ones, but the only difference between the two is the "Deep Cleansing" uses tea tree oil, and I don't think that's really worth splurging on. Nothing compares with other brand nose strips like ponds or whatever, THis is the real deal, its exellent and 100% recomendable
