I picked up these blackhead strips since the Holika Holika pig nose one was getting a tad expensive and they only had 1 in each set. I had read some pretty good reviews before I purchased so I had high expectations. I always steam my face before I use this so my pores can open up and make it easier to draw out the blackheads. I was not disappointed by the results! I've used it 3 times now and it always draw out heaps of icky things and leave my nose feeling super smooth. Extra points for the cute packaging!
