Ugh, my pores....it's like a constant struggle to keep these blackheads at bay. I use Biore pore strips once a week and scrub like crazy. Yet here I am in my 30's and I'm still dealing with these darn blackheads on my nose. I've got them pretty much under control, but I'm always on the look out for products to add to my arsenol. When I first saw Avon bring this out, I was hesitant due to the mixed reviews. But.....since it was on sale I decided what the hell. So here is my review of Avon's liquid pore strip.
Pros:
•no strong smell
•easy to apply
•price, when it's on sale it's a great deal
•made my skin feel smooth
•noticeably smaller pores after one use
Cons:
•price, regular price is a little high
•difficult to get a corner up to start removal process (but once you do its super easy to peel off)
•drying time is hella long (20 minutes or longer)
•price, regular price is a little high
•difficult to get a corner up to start removal process (but once you do its super easy to peel off)
•drying time is hella long (20 minutes or longer)
Overall I think it's a decent product, but I prefer the Clearskin® Pore Penetrating Black Mineral Mask (see the review here). The liquid pore strip just doesn't seem to get the deep blackheads out, but it did make my skin feel baby soft. My pores do look noticeably smaller and I've only used it once so far. It took a long time to dry, so make sure you've dedicated yourself to a night in. I sat in front of a fan and it took 20 minutes. Other reviews I've read said it took them 40 minutes or more to dry, but then again I'm not sure how much product they used. I would describe it like those cucumber gel face masks that you would peel off. Only much thicker. I'm hoping after repeated use pores continue to improve.
Tell me what you think of this product and other products you use to minimize your pores and blackheads. Thanks for reading!
