I tried this on the advice of a friend, who really liked the stuff. I've always been concerned about whiteheads/blackheads/plugged pores on my nose, but I had also heard that things like the nose strips were maybe too harsh. I have always liked the Tea Tree Oil line at the Body Shop (aside from the strong smell), but I really can't tell if this nose mask has done anything for me. I do like it that you can place it wherever on your nose that you need, since it's the consistency of a regular mask. You peel it off in about 10-15 minutes. I did feel it tightening and probably giving its Tea Tree Oil benefits to my nose, however, I have never seen a difference. I ususally judge that by the way my foundation wears on my nose. Even though it did seem pricey at first, it does last a long time. I have had my tube for about 5 months now, and it's nowhere near empty. However, I don't think I'll buy it again, since I don't see any visible results.
