What the AI looks for in Pore Cleansing Strips
- Application
- Apply to a wet nose, let dry fully per the directions, then peel slowly. The adhesive activates with water, and pulling too fast irritates the skin.
- Frequency
- No more than about once a week. Frequent stripping irritates skin, and pores refill anyway.
- Realistic expectations
- Strips only remove surface plugs and sebaceous filaments temporarily. Lasting improvement in blackheads needs BHA or retinoids.
Brands that matter
- Bioré: The category-defining pore strip brand.
What to avoid
- Using strips on skin treated with retinoids, acids or peels.
- Using them on inflamed acne or broken skin.
Questions
Do pore strips shrink pores?
No; they temporarily remove debris, and pore size does not change.
