Why it works

What this formula actually does

Built around aha / bha / lha / pha melting complex and screened ingredient by ingredient — here is what earns its place.

01

Melts, doesn't tear

An AHA, BHA, LHA and PHA melting essence softens and dissolves sebum and blackheads, so you wipe them away rather than rip skin.

02

Two-step pore care

Step one clears the pore; a second soothing essence with bakuchiol and adenosine calms and tightens.

03

Wide, gentle biocellulose

A 15cm biocellulose sheet with cut lines fits the nose and butterfly zone, positioned as low-irritation for sensitive skin.

Our take

Most nose strips rip at the skin and leave it red. This one melts blackheads and sebum with a layered AHA/BHA/LHA/PHA essence, then follows with a bakuchiol-and-adenosine step to soothe and tighten, all on a gentle biocellulose sheet. Best for blackhead- and sebum-prone noses that want results without a harsh peel; it is an acid treatment, so tingling is normal and once or twice weekly is plenty. On a gentler mechanism and real pore care it beats a tearing strip.

Worth knowing

  • Can sting or tingleIt relies on exfoliating acids and peppermint oil, so it can tingle and is best used once or twice a week.
  • Not a one-pull fixIt is a soak-and-wipe system, not an instant mechanical strip, so it takes a few steps and minutes.

FAQ

Questions, answered

How does it work?+
In two steps: an AHA, BHA, LHA and PHA essence softens and dissolves sebum and blackheads so you wipe them away, then a soothing essence with bakuchiol and adenosine calms and tightens pores.
Does it hurt like a peel-off strip?+
No, it melts rather than tears. But because it relies on exfoliating acids and peppermint oil, it can tingle.
How often should I use it?+
Once or twice a week is plenty, since it is an acid treatment.
Is it a one-pull strip?+
No. It is a soak-and-wipe system, so it takes a few steps and a few minutes rather than an instant rip.
Who is it best for?+
Blackhead- and sebum-prone noses that want results without a harsh mechanical strip, on a gentle biocellulose sheet.
