Polyvinyl Alcohol
The lifting film
Applied wet, it hardens as it dries and grips whatever sits in the pore, so it leaves with the strip. It does not reach below the surface.
good things take time
We publish the whole INCI list, not just the flattering parts.
Five to ten weeks at the right frequency.
Damp nose to done.
Twice is the ceiling, not the target.
Charcoal, witch hazel, licorice, aloe.
A strip lifts out days of trapped oil and dead skin in fifteen minutes. That part is real and satisfying. But pores do not close, and they refill. Anyone selling a permanent fix is selling a story.
Water activates the strip. A dry nose wastes it.
The film hardens and locks onto what is in the pore.
Cardboard-firm. Do not push past twenty.
Normal. Wait a day before anything important.
Five things doing the work.

Binds surface oil
Holds onto oil and grime so more of it leaves with the strip. This is why the strip is black.
Tightens, settles
A natural astringent that helps skin calm down after removal, when a nose is at its most irritated.
Reduces redness
Dipotassium glycyrrhizinate. In here specifically for the pinkness after you peel.
Comforts
Post-peel comfort. It pulls nothing out. It makes the aftermath kinder.
Pore strips are oversold constantly. Here is the boundary.
Pore size is largely genetic. An empty pore looks smaller. It does not close.
Oil and dead skin keep forming. Expect them back in a few weeks. Biology, not product failure.
Never use a strip over inflamed spots or broken skin. Use the Acne Armour patches.
Ten to fifteen minutes on a properly wet nose, then peel from the edges inward. Longer does not pull out more, it just irritates skin. Once or twice a week is the ceiling.
