My blackhead removal procedure is quite .... painful. First, I will use the ever-popular nose strips from Biore, and then after admiring the gunk that was pulled out, I proceed with squeezing out additional stubborn blackheads using clean tissue papers. It's really very very painful and usually after a good cleansing, the skin around my nose area will start peeling. BLEH. Of course, the way I remove blackheads is not the correct way and it's super damaging for my pores - which is why I'm trying to use less crazy ways of removing them.
So, I was really intrigued when I saw the forme Acne Care Medical Pack for Strawberry Nose in a random Japanese drugstore. Just use daily and you will see a reduction of blackheads? Also, it was ranked the 3rd best product by consumers! CONFIRM MUST BUY RIGHT?!
So I did.
The forme Acne Care Medical Pack for Strawberry Nose retails for 987 yen, with tax included, which is roughly around S$11-S$12.
To be frank, I wasn't expecting anything miraculous to happen after using this product. Less expectations, less disappointment!
However, the forme Acne Care Medical Pack for Strawberry Nose is proving its worth!
Packaging: Honestly, the first thing that caught my attention was the packaging. So cute lah! The product itself is packaged minimalistically - a rather huge contrast with the product insert. I think it's quite clever! Capture the consumers' attention by huge contented face and large pink stuff first, then make the consumers intrigued by the professional-looking product.
Directions: Everything was in Japanese and I was lost, so I turned to everyone's best friend, Google, to find out how exactly to use this product. It's quite simple. After you are done with your cleansing routine, just massage a tiny bit of the product on yout nose for 30 seconds, and then wash away.
Consistency: It's like a transparent Cetaphil. If you have used the highly raved gentle cleanser before, you will know what I'm talking about. The consistency of the forme Acne Care Medical Pack for Strawberry Nose is quite pleasant; like applying a liquid gel mask on your nose. When you massage the product on your nose, it doesn't feel slimy or sticky. Instead, it feels like a nourishing serum!
The important question is ....
DOES IT WORK??
At first, I didn't really believe the claims that the forme Acne Care Medical Pack for Strawberry Nose has. After using it for 2 days straight, I stopped using and went back to my old ways of extracting blackheads. As expected, I went a little too crazy and the condition of my nose was way off the normal radar. I got really scared. So, I decided to give this product a try.
I'm glad I did because now my nose looks less pimply and less red. My verdict for the forme Acne Care Medical Pack for Strawberry Nose will be that if you are a person with a relatively mild blackhead situation, please don't expect this product to do magic for you. However, if you have a really bad blackhead tragedy, then the forme Acne Care Medical Pack for Strawberry Nose will make life a little bit better. My extremely sensitive and inflamed nose (with hugeeeeeee pores from all that squeezing omg NEVER AGAIN) calmed down even after only one day of product usage. Today's my fourth day of using it (I only use it during my night skincared routine) and the redness is almost completely gone, and my unsightly huge pores look less monstrous. I'm a very happy user. Want to cry already. :')
Will I buy it again? This will depend on my needs. You know how the skin condition always changes throughout your life? If I have crazy blackhead nightmares again in the future, then of course I'll purchase this again (I hope it's available in Singapore!!). If not, then I probably will not. Overall, the forme Acne Care Medical Pack for Strawberry Nose really works if you have a bad blackhead situation to start with!
