Korean Nose Strips Throwdown
For someone who's pestered by clogged pores, I know a thing or two when it comes to dealing with those pesky blackheads. I've tried a bunch of products that help get rid of the gunk and I have to say, my favorite is a good nose pack. Well, I do also get impatient and would often extract them using my magical wand. You know, that metal tool with a loop at one end. However, I still prefer getting that weird feeling of satisfaction when you get to take those bad boys out with one peel.
When choosing a nose pack, I go for the cream/cement-like type because unlike the strips, it covers the whole area. But then, I saw a couple of 3-step kits on Althea and I thought of trying them and see if they could also be as effective as my trusty nose pack from iWhite Korea.
Each kit comes with:
- a soaked mask that softens and preps the pores
- a strip that extracts the junk
- a soaked mask that treats and tightens the pores
The masks all work pretty much the same - very soothing and they all have a cooling and tightening effect. They just differ in terms of scent and key ingredients.
The actual strip is what I want to compare here. If you wanna know which one removed most clogs, keep on scrolling. 😚
By the way, the info you could read in the photos is from the product description.
sorry, I forgot to take a photo of the strip after removing it
I tried each kit on a different day. I can't remember the exact interval but I think it's like a week in between or even more. Also, maybe when I used the others, my pores were not so clogged than other days or maybe I didn't get to really properly place some strips, so I don't want to say that they are totally not effective. For the two pink ones, it's also hard to tell if they removed a good amount of junk because of the color of the strip.
Anyway, the only strip that did a pretty good job was Innisfree Jeju Volcanic Blackhead 3-Step Program. It's also the most adhesive. 🙌
So yea, on my next Althea shopping, a few more of this kit will get into my cart. 😙
What do you think? Have you tried any of these five kits?
your sweetest drug,
