Biore Strips: Friend or Foe?

Biore Strips

Are they your friend? or do they take the fun out of it?

Talk amongst yourselves.

Or take the Pore Profiler Test.

I'm a pro Biore kinda girl myself. In fact, I like to put the nose strips anywhere tat I have blackheads. When I take them off, I love how it looks like there's a tiny forest on the inside of the paper.

Sometimes, for the really deep blackheads, it gives me just the headstard I need to get going.; ▶ Reply to This

i joined this group just so's i could comment on biore pore strips.

THEY ARE PROOF THAT THERE IS A GOD AND SHE WANTS US TO HAVE PORELESS SKIN.

few things are so satisfying as seeing how you've done after removing some hair follicles and the outer dermal layer, and seeing that forest of whiteheads. amen to that. i swear i hear a chorus of angels singing as i examine the evidence.; ▶ Reply to This

I soooo love that you used the words 'forest of whiteheads' and 'chorus of angels' in the same sentence. I feel the same way.; ▶ Reply to This

maybe there is *one* thing better than applying the biore pore strips to oneself..and that is applying them to the hapless spouse. because that whole pain thing? is now irrelevant. rrrrrrrrrrrip!

i guess that makes me a sadistic zit popper?; ▶ Reply to This

Permalink Reply by TK on November 15, 2007 at 1:00am: Hmm... I used to love Biore strips, but I think I've developed a resistance to them. For the past two years, I've pulled nothing out of my blackheads. Nothing! No forest of whiteheads no forest of blackheads. Nothing. If I'm lucky, I might pull some hair off and that's it.

And this isn't because my skin has suddenly become as smooth as a baby's bottom. I can see the dirt in my pores, and it wants to be Biore'd! Life is cruel sometimes.; ▶ Reply to This

you know (and i am such a biore pore strip connoisseur), i've found that the extra-ultra-hyper zit removing strips paradoxically work worse than the regular deforestation kind. there is a difference. also, the off-brand pond's is not the same as the biore.

could it be the type of pore strip you are using?

ymmv, etc etc.; ▶ Reply to This

They say Biore on them, but namebrand things sold inside China (where I am) never seem to be up to the same quality as similar things sold outside China. Thanks for the heads up! I guess this gives me something to look into the next time I'm in the 1st world.; ▶ Reply to This

If you are afraid you might miss the zit popping, you can save a little patch (somewhere other than the face) to harvest nice pimples to pop. Otherwise, if you live in the US, give this stuff a try.; ▶ Reply to This

so are you a male biore pore strip user?; ▶ Reply to This

Permalink Reply by Tom Fraley on November 27, 2007 at 12:30pm: I guess I missed the 'pizza face' thing. I know the urge to pop a zit all too well. I can't resist. Some say to 'let the product do it's thing' and 'leave it alone'. I can't help myself. Not because I'm infatuated with them or anything. I just want it off my face...or shoulder.

I don't use Biore...I just focus more on keeping my face clean for a few days. That includes using something that works for me...like the ClearNow system. I guess we all have to do what works for us or makes us happy, right?

If you like the 'pizza' look that's one thing but, if not, try the ClearNow system and see if it works for you. It has a 6 month satisfaction guarantee so I suppose there's nothing to risk by trying it.

I think I saw a pore cleansing something or other on that site also. Take a look.
