a ‘‘’classic’’’ product
i think that at this point, most of us know that pore strips are not good for our skin (like the st ives apricot scrub). it’s satisfying watching all those sebaceous filaments get stripped away, but at the end of the day, it isn’t worth it.
Yes I know pore strips are not good for your skin but these ones work really well and are a very quick solution for a clear nose. I only use these every 9-14 days so I think it’s fine
