i hated this product when i first purchased it because it did not pull anything out of my pores. but however, i discovered that if you use the queen helene mint julep masque before applying the strips, it works wonders and pulls many gross little plugs out! just put the masque on (it's really cheap; around $2), let it dry, wash it off, immediately put the strips on your nose while your pores are open and the plugs are at the skin surface, and wet the strips again once they're on your nose. then just let it dry and pull them off slowly - you should get wonderful results. this should work for anyone with large pores and comedones!
