I finally tried a 3 step nose pack... I thought these were actually pretty fake and didn't work but I was pleasantly surprised that this... Was not expecting the results I got.
I tried the ICS 3 step nose pack, I wasn't able to find this particular strip anywhere online but it was amazing.
Step 1: Hydrogel strip that dissolves blackheads for easy removal, leave on for 15 to 20 minutes. This actually turned kind of gummy and dry at the end of the 20 minutes (maybe later) and when I peeled it off my nose looked and felt squeaky clean. Note... The strip was packaged with a bottom layer of cellophane and a top layer of fabric. You only apply the hydrogel, the other 2 are for easy application.
Step 2: Black charcoal black head strip, leave on for 15 to 20 minutes. This is like your run of the mill biore strip and it was fairly easy to put on and remove. I'm not sure if it's bc of the charcoal infused strip or bc of the 1st step... But blackheads galore
Step 3: Hydrogel strip to close pores for 5 to 10 minutes. This was set up like the first step and once I got the hydrogel on, it felt great and maybe it was just psychosomatic but I felt my pores closing.
After 3 steps that could take anywhere from 35 to 50 minutes... My nose has never looked better. Never. I am now in love with these strips!
Totally converted me!
