All I can say is while Ella Mai was trippin' I was definitely strippin'... my nose with the deep cleansing charcoal pore strips. my nose is definitely the prime spot for blackheads and for that reason pore strips definitely come in handy for removing those bad boys and these pore strips do that pretty well if I may add. I also really like the convenience of the strips as they're each packaged individually and easy to open and peel off. I have never been so amazed by one brand of products EVER and I looked forward to seeing what other amazing products Bioré releases in the future ( I think I may just be their new biggest fan !!)
