Advantages: Removes blackheads effectively and good value for money.

Disadvantages: Hurts like hell and scary if left on too long!

I HATE blackheads! Really, they are the devil's work! I seek to rid my nose of every single blackhead possible and T-Zone Nose Pore Strips help a great deal!

The strips usually come in packs of 6 and at around £4.99 a pack that can seem quite pricey, yet if you compare this to the Biore range of products retailing at around a tenner a pack, you really can't go wrong!

The strips come boxed and individually wrapped for ease of use and this makes them a great little asset to your grooming routine as they are convenient and mess free!

To apply, the nose must be wet with warm water and the strip (once opened and unpeeled from protective backing strip) should be placed over the bridge of the nose. As the strip dries, it hardens and this can sometimes feel uncomfortable yet it needs to be that tight to latch on to those pesky blackheads. DO NOT GET THE FUZZY SIDE OF THE STRIP WET! This renders the strip completely useless and it'll just drop off your nose.

After about 15 minutes, the strip is ready to peel off and I warn you, this isn't pleasant. It hurts! Yet, its worth it when you see the results. A word of warning though, don't be tempted to leave the strip on for longer than the suggested 15 minutes - I did once and when I came to pull the strip off, it wouldn't budge! It was like it was super-glued to my face! I had to rewet the strip and even then it didn't come off without a fight. This left me with two very unsightly bruises on either side of my nose, so bad in fact that people thougt I'd been beaten up! My own fault, yes, but I hope you'll learn from my stupidity! :P

Once the strip is removed, the fun starts! You get to examine the glorious 'stone henge' that was your nose rockery! Your nose is left feeling ridiculously smooth and noticably clearer, yet don't think that you'll be able to remove every single blackhead.

This product should be followed up with a good face mask or a quality facial scrub to really feel the benefit!

Summary: A great little product for every once in a while - definitely not for everyday use!
