Press Samples (Affiliate Links)

I have such fond memories of using the Bioré Deep Cleansing Pore Strips for the first time years ago and marveling at the sight of all of the gunk that it removed with a kind of morbid delight. They have since expanded their line well beyond the strips alone, and they have something for every breakout concern.

Not only are Bioré highly effective in the battle against breakouts, but they are also budget friendly, and easy to find. I have received countless emails from readers on a budget looking for effective drugstore brand products to rid themselves of unwanted pimples, blackheads and whiteheads-- and Bioré offers lots of solutions!

Bioré Skincare Deep Pore Charcoal Cleanser: This breakthrough cleanser provides targeted deep cleansing for a smooth, clear complexion without irritating skin.

Infused with Japanese Skin Purifying Technology, this facial cleanser gives you results after just one use!"

Not only does this mask draw out an unbelievable amount of pore congestion, but it leaves the skin deeply cleansed and tingly! Soft and smooth skin is revealed quickly and efficiently.

Bioré Deep Cleansing Pore Strips: These iconic strips are so much fun to use, and you really will marvel at what comes out of your pores! I just love these!

Bioré Deep Cleansing Pore Strips instantly provide the deepest clean by lifting away deep down dirt. In just one use, pore strips are twice as effective as the leading pore cleanser at getting rid of pore-clogging build-up, dirt and oil that can cause blackheads. Plus, with regular use they can actually reduce the appearance of your pores!

• Oil-Free
• Dermatologist Tested

How to use:

• Remove strip from pouch. Before using nose strips, twist strip to loosen and separate slits featured on nose strips only.
• After washing your face, thoroughly wet your nose or other face area (where you have clogged pores or blackheads). The strip won't stick on a dry nose.
• Dry hands. Peel strip off plastic liner. Apply to nose area, smooth side down, pressing down to ensure good contact with skin.
• Let dry for about 10-15 minutes until stiff to the touch — like papier-mâché.
• Slowly and carefully peel off starting at edges, pulling toward center.

Cautions: Use only on the nose. Avoid using on acne blemishes or swollen, sunburned, excessively dry skin, or skin prone to spider veins. Consult a physician before using on skin being treated with prescription acne medication. Avoid using on skin which is sensitive to bandages or peel-off face masks. Remove strip as directed promptly after it becomes stiff. If strip is difficult or painful to remove, wet strip thoroughly until it slides off easily. Forceful removal of the strip should be avoided and may cause skin abrasions. If this occurs, discontinue use and consult a physician. Do not use more often than once every three days.

Ingredients: Polyquaternium-37, Silica, Water, Glycerin, Polysilicone-13, Peg-12 Dimethicone, Titanium Dioxide, Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Extract, Butylene Glycol, Stearyl Glycyrrhetinate, Methylparaben.
