They're garbage [SEP] I bought these after having a terrific experience with Yes to Tomatoes 2-Step Nose Kit Buh-Bye Blackheads. I bought these because they had 24 in the box. That's hard to find with the charcoal nose strips. These strips literally didn't take anything off my nose. I even exfoliated and cleansed right before. I did everything you're supposed to... tried 3 times. Nothing. So you're 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's amazing the difference. I do not recommend these strips.
