⭐The Best Alternative to Pore Strips⭐

Hi skincare friends~ on today’s agenda is a short review of Peace Out Skincare’s pore strips, the ~better~ alternative to classic pore strips (in my experience). 

So, if you haven’t heard yet, traditional pore strips are actually pretty rough on your skin and are very short term in their visual effects, if they work on you at all. When I did use them back in my early skincare days, they never really did anything for my blackheads but take out a few here and there. 

I feel like classic pore strips are that thing you used to do in middle school or high school that you thought was cool at the time but now you have nightmare-flashbacks about it and you’re like what in the hell was I doing?lol. 

I grabbed these pore strips online after hearing James Welsh talk about them in a video, mentioning how he left them on overnight on special occasions. Lord knows I had that in my digital cart so fast, lol.

These Peace Out pore strips are pretty self explanatory for anyone familiar with a pimple patch like the OG Cosrx patches: they’re like your typical hydrocolloid pimple patches but the size of a pore strip with the addition of pore clearing and minimizing ingredients like Vitamin A. 

Which, I think, is pretty genius — I remember when I first discovered how awesome pimple patches were and I wished they’d make a whole sheet mask of one, lol. 

I left this on overnight, because applying it (like the instructions say) on cleansed/dry skin and leaving it on for 4-6 hours sort of dwindled my practical options to leaving it on while I sleep. 

I definitely slept longer than 4-6 hours btw, so leave it on at your own discretion, as the instructions do clearly say 4-6 hours.

⭐ So, here’s the verdict ⭐

✔️ no dryness, redness, or leftover residue 

✔️ no tearing at your skin

✔️ no pain taking it off 

✔️ actually clears pores and minimizes their appearance 

I was shocked that these actually cleared out my stubborn nose blackheads. Like I’ve used chemical peels and scrubs (yes, I’ve sinned), and I routinely use a retinol product  — but I still constantly have congested pores. These are a win for me, and a definite repurchase.

I’d totally recommend using these strips on special occasions or during your occasional ~extra pampering~ skincare routine with maybe another one of your masks, treatments, or tools to jazz it up.

As of today, 10/19/21, Peace Out’s website is currently doing free shipping on all orders, and I used the code “WELCOME15” that saved me a little on my order, too — not sure if it’s still active when you’re reading this, but definitely give it a go or search online for another coupon code! *Skincare friends rule #13: help your skincare friends save money on skincare.*

Also, as a little side note, I’ve only used this on my nose area so far, as that’s really the only area I suffer from large pores/blackheads. This box also comes with another strip, which I assume is for your chin, forehead, or anywhere else really. 

Speaking of which, my packages say “1 nose strip and 1 pore strip,” which is sort of confusing, considering each strip, no matter the shape, is for pores. At first, it made me think that the strip was a 2-step process, but it isn’t. I went on their website and it shows a picture of slightly different packaging reading “1 blackhead strip and 1 pore strip,” which is again weird for the same reasons. 

Anyhow, I plan on using all the strips for my nose, regardless of the difference in shape — but you can totally feel free to use these anywhere where you suffer from blackheads or pore issues. Arms? Back? Check? Yep! You do you boo.
