Rave Review: The Face Shop Volcanic Clay Blackhead Aloe nose strip!

Aloe nose strip! Most of us suffer from clogged pores especially in the nose region, if not your nose then usually around the nose! I've been using nose pore strips from Biore since I was 13  and they are my favorite brand as over the years I've developed my technique of application so they work miracles for me compared to what I hear from some of my girlfriends.

When casually shopping around in The Face Shop I saw this and a few variations and decided to pick this Aloe one up! There was another one with charcoal and another regular one however I thought Aloe would be a nice alternative to try! I didn't think this would be fantastic as a lot of products in The Face Shop just only do the job but holy crap, I was wrong!

Packaging & Product!

The Face Shop is a brand that really invests and thinks about their packaging in the most creative, fun and young ways! This simple product was no different! For this Aloe version of the nose strip, the packaging is pale blue and brown, whereas the version that has charcoal is all black/gray.  

They make it very clear what are the main ingredients/attractive things are about the product on the packaging and it doesn't hurt that it looks really cutesy either! I personally think this is especially nice on such a simple product as nose strips usually are packaged very plainly and there's nothing exciting about them!

Amazed! That's all I was after using this! I totally didn't expect this product to be that amazing. I assume it would do a decent job and remove my white/black heads regularly and maybe not even as well as my regular Biore strips but this did better!

To apply, first pre-peel a bit of the strip off the plastic to get it ready to be applied. I have a mini spray bottle with water and spray onto my nose several times until there's water dripping down my upper lips and down my chin! With tissue in one hand I dab the extra water coming down my face.  

Next, remove the strip from the plastic and line it up so that the bottom curve on the strip which is  meant for your nose is on the tip of your nose before gently pressing both sides down.

I usually then sit front of a direct air con so that the strip dries as quickly as it can and do not touch the strip at all as that will make the strip not work as well. Wait until the strip feels hard and dry, then with both hands peel the strip off from both ends. This part usually hurts a bit but it's so worth it! To remove residual glue on the nose, just apply water and wipe off!

I just absolutely love how the shape of this nose strip fits so perfectly to my small flat nose!

Using The Face Shop Volcanic Clay Blackhead Aloe nose strip! Just look at all that gunk!

This strip removed A LOT of white heads! I'm so impressed!

Paid: $7.90 SGD or about $6.30 USD (This is about 2x more expensive than plain Biore ones)

Recommend: Yes! These are amazing! They hurt a lot more to remove than Biore strips but they remove a lot more gunk than the Biore for me! I've had no irritation either after using them!

Repurchase:Yes! I probably will buy this again in the charcoal or plain version to try!

Bottom line: A surprisingly super effective product! I love how much gunk it removes although it hurts a bit while removing, it's worth it! Don't over look this simple product, this one's really a gem!
