they are garbage [SEP] i bought these after having a terrific experience with yes to tomatoes step nose kit buh bye blackheads i bought these because they had in the box that is hard to find with the charcoal nose strips these strips literally did not take anything off my nose i even exfoliated and cleansed right before i did everything you are supposed to tried times nothing so you are probably thinking well you have nothing there to remove wrong after three failed attempts with these strips i used a yes to tomatoes strip and it pulled so much out of my nose it is amazing the difference i do not recommend these strips
