Review for Acnes Metholatum Medicated Nose Pore
Strips
Hey guys!
Remember in my Biore Black Pore Pack review I stated that I got these Acnes Metholatum Medicated Nose Pore
Strips? I’ve tried it multiple times and below are my two cents on the product.
These pore
strips are packaged very similarly to the Biore Pore Packs which I have done a
review earlier on. Each packet contains 10
pore strips but unlike the Biore Black Pore Pack which is black in colour, the
Acnes Metholatum Medicated Nose Pore Strips are white in colour.
Application
is exactly the same as the Biore Black Pore Pack. Please note that the nose has
to be wet entirely, in my opinion the more wet the nose area is, the better the
pore strip adheres. I always splash the area with water and apply the strip
immediately.

Pros:
Very simple application, the main point of
applying pore strips is to remember to wet the area entirely. If you have a
problem with pore strips not adhering properly, you did not use enough water. I
nearly cried peeling off my pore strips when I applied way too much water once.
It does
contain a nice medicated scent,
nothing overly strong. After application it does leave the skin slightly warm.
Individually packaged to keep the product fresh.
Cons:
The strip
does not contain any ‘flaps’ as I
like to call them, so they don’t really fit nicely on the nose, since all nose
shapes are different. The Biore pore strips has flaps and I think that these
flaps are vital to help the strip adhere
to the crannies of the nose, similar to face masks in a sense.
'Flaps' on Biore Black Pore Strip
I actually
dislike the fact that the strip is white
in colour. White pore strips makes your extracted dirt camouflage into the
background. I had a hard time finding pores that were extracted and had an even
harder time capturing with my camera.
Did it
perform as well as the Biore pore strips? Sadly no, I was quite disappointed
with the amount of dirt it extracted, I feel that the Biore ones managed to
extract more gunk, or maybe it was because of the colour of the strips that
made it seem that the Biore ones extracted more? Hmm.. You guys be the judge
then!
Yadda Yadda:
You can buy
the Acnes Metholatum Medicated Nose Pore Strips at pharmacies, NTUCs etc. They
are around the same price as the Biore Pore Strips, you can get them ranging
from $4-$5. Will I repurchase? Probably not, the Biore Pore Pack adheres better
to the shape of my nose and I feel that it extracted more dirt from my pores.
Price: 3/5
Effectiveness: 2/5 (a little disappointing compared to other
pore strips)
Packaging: 5/5
Overall rating: 3/5
