Do pore strips damage your skin?

Pore strips can be harsh on the skin and cause irritation, especially if used too often or incorrectly. They can also cause damage to the skin's natural barrier, leading to dryness, sensitivity, and even breakouts. It's important to use them sparingly and properly to avoid damaging your skin.

Should you moisturize after pore strips?

Yes, it's important to moisturize after using pore strips to avoid further irritation and to hydrate the skin. Use a gentle, non-comedogenic moisturizer to avoid clogging the pores.

How often can you use nose strips?

Pore strips should be used sparingly, no more than once or twice a week at most. Using them too often can damage the skin and cause more harm than good.

Unimpressed
Perhaps immediate results are not to be expected. Hoping after few more applications deep pore cleansing results will be evident, but at this stage, after only one, I am not impressed by this particular product. Some improvement is there, it’s true, it’s just not as powerful as some other products in the family.
