Review for Biore Black Pore Pack Pore Strips

Hey guys! Today’s post will be on these Biore pore strips! I’m sure all of you guys have either heard of it or even tried it before. So let’s hurry and get into the review! Ps: Read on to view my nasty blackheads up close!


A pack of the Biore Pore Strips contains 10 sachets of strips. I have used 6 of them as you can seen, below are the packaging for the 4 of them left.


I’ll let the pictures do the talking then!












Start time: 1:55pm

End time: 2:10pm




Warning! Viewer discretion is advised for photos below..




Let’s have a closer look shall we?








Ewwww! Nasty!


Pros:

As you can see from my used pore strip, some of my less stubborn pores were indeed extracted.
These pore strips are so easy to use and very convenient for travelling.


The area of skin where the pore strips were used became really soft and smooth and foundation/BB Creams goes on really nicely on the skin area.


It does give a sense of satisfaction when observing that entire nasty gunk that came out with the pore strips. I have to admit that it is quite addictive and exciting in a sense that you never know what will be coming out of those bothersome pores.  


They come in 2 different packaging, I’ve only tried the black one but I know they come in a white box too. The white box states on it that the pore strips reduces pore size. I may get the white Biore pore strips and compare them in a future review just to see any differences between the white and black pore strips. 

.


Cons:

These pore strips may hurt a little when peeled since they adhere so tightly to the skin so please use a light hand when peeling the pore strips. As the direction states, it if gets too painful, apply some water and peel slowly.


The pore strips alone are not able to remove all of my blackheads/whiteheads, actually in fact, majority of my black/whiteheads are not removed. I still recommend using a pore extractor tool after using these pore strips, but I feel that my pores looked less apparent and the skin felt smoother. I feel that the more stubborn blackheads will not be easily removed using just a pore strip.


They can be quite costly if you use them very regularly. 






Yadda Yadda:


A box of these Biore Black Pore Strips cost between S$4-$5 .The prices differs from when you get them from. They are available at most stores, namely Watsons, Guardian Pharmacies, Unity Healthcare etc.


I recommend this if you do not have a lot of blackheads/whiteheads, if you have a ton of clogged pores, these pore strips probably will not make a vast difference on you. But if you are just experimenting pore strips, then I recommend trying these out.



Price: 3/5
Packaging: 5/5
Effectiveness: 3/5
Overall rating: 3.5/5




I just purchased Acnes Mentholatum Pore Strips which I am very excited to try them out and then review them for you guys. So do stay tune for that review. Do let me know in the comments below your favourite pore strips brand! (Check out Acnes Mentholatum Pore Strips Review)

Review for Vichy Normaderm Tri-Activ Anti-Imperfection Hydrating Care

Review for Vichy Normaderm Tri-Activ Anti-Imperfection Hydrating Care

I actually got this Vichy Normaderm Tri-Activ Anti-Imperfection Hydrating Care (Boy is that a long name!) on impulse due to the extensive advertisements all around the country. I see it on commercials, on billboards, advertisements in Watsons and Guardian Pharmacies so I decided to crave in to the temptation and give it a try. I’ve heard good things about this product and it was on sale for S$19.00 for a smaller size product so I was like ‘Meh, I’m trying it’.




Ingredients (below)











Swatch (below)



Blended out (below)



Pros:

The first thing when I tried this product was that it smells really nice! The scent is really perfume-y kinda like body lotion? I will consider it a floral scent. The products states that is mattifies long-lastingly. I use it on my nose, cheek and chin areas only which happens to be my oily areas. It didn’t really mattify my nose area ‘long-lastingly’, I think it lasted a good 1 hour? After the hour my oil glands burst like volcanoes and my nose was twice as shiny as usual. Therefore thumbs down for mattifying function. I have really oily nose area. Cheek and chin areas lasted a good 2.5-3 hours and I had to blot after that. Not sure if that was considered ‘long-lasting’.

I didn’t experience any break outs with using this product. It did dry out my existing small zit-like-bumps (I don’t really have cystic zits I only get small red bumps during that period of the month) and smooth out my chin area which is extremely prone to zits due to hormonal imbalance. It did not reduce redness/ size, it just gave it a crusty dried skin feeling which my fingers are itching to peel off. I will do a further update on this product as I use it over the time. My skin is overall smoother.

Comes in a squeeze tube which is hygienic and I am able to achieve a precise control of the amount of product I need. Thumbs up for packaging.



Cons:

It contains fragrance so if you are allergic or sensitive to products with fragrance, you may want to stay away from this product. Scent may be overwhelming for some but is fine for me. Note that I’m not really picky about scents. I didn’t notice any reduction of pore sizes (some reviewers experienced that) and it did not unclog my pores.



Yadda Yadda:

I do not really have sensitive skin/acne problems therefore I cannot really judge for the promise of reducing imperfections. It has a drying effect and I only use it on the areas prone to zits popping out. Retails at Watsons and Guardian Pharmacy at S$19.00 for 30ml of product. Ratings: 3/5 stars. Will I repurchase: Probably yes, if my acne problems gets out of control. Share your views if you’ve tried it!

A/N: This has gotta be the longest review ever! I tried to be very detailed in skincare products so I’m sorry!





Love,
