I've searched far and wide finding my ever favorite nose patch from The Face Shop. I think it's been more than a year that ALMOST ALL branches of TFS doesn't cater those patches anymore. For me it's the best nose strip I've ever found! So great that I am bragging it to everyone here. Since it was always out of stock, I tried using another nose strip which I found from Nature Republic a week ago.
Almost all nose patches I've tried are the same. This one, however claims to be natural. Most, if not all, of Nature Republic's products are natural. So I thought this might be the better counterpart of my missing fave nose strip.
It differs from other nose strips because of it's shape. It has a curve shape that helps to easily fit on the nose. They also had photos that it can be used on the chin and on the forehead part. Very cute packaging too!
One thing I noticed was the product was stickier than other nose strips I tried. It's too sticky and some of the sticky residue transferred on my hands. I was a bit irritated and actually wanted to remove it already from the moment I put it on. But I tried to be patient to see the result, which I hope will be the opposite of the earlier experience. After waiting for more than 15 minutes, removing it was easy. The result though is not what I thought of.
There's little to nothing at all. Yes, it removed some of the whiteheads but not much compared to my review on the volcanic clay nose strip. The latter literally took off all of the visible blackheads, opposite to this one.
Compared to all the strips I used, the one from TFS still has the gold record. I really really hope they'll put it in stock again. I hope it's not obsolete or what. I miss that product so much!
Yay for me! (｡◕‿◕｡)

Didn't really worked out on me. Have you used it? What's your impression?
DeleteI tried nose strips too but a different brand. It doesn't remove much black/whiteheads too.
ReplyDeleteWhat brand sis? You should really try the one I linked from the TFS. Really effective i swear! :)
DeleteI used to buy nose strips before, but stopped when they didn't remove much. I want to try this one.
ReplyDeleteNope. Not this one. The more effective one was the strip from The Face Shop.
DeleteLike Elizabeth, I also used nose strips before but it didn't work as I'd hope. Now I just exfoliate my face. Too bad this product didn't work for you as much.
ReplyDeletewww.hintofglitter.com
Yup. Bummer!
DeleteI haven't tried nose strips before. It's a pity that TFS doesn't sell them anymore.
ReplyDeleteThe staff said they still sell it but really rare. It's kinda weird actually. Why they didn't have it for sooo long yet they claim that they still cater it.
DeleteLooks like another great skin care product. I need at least a pack of this every month! :)
ReplyDeleteNah! This is not effective.
DeleteI tried once nose patch before to remove black head but it seems like no effect. lol. But this look a great product.
ReplyDeleteRead. It's a bummer dude. :(
Deleteoh i thought that brand was good, i'm an avid user of nose pore strips too & the best one that i remember is the nose patch by bench.
ReplyDeleteYup. Bench is good but TFS Charcoal's even better I tell you. :)
DeleteThe last time that I tried nose patch I was still in high school, I better try it again soon
ReplyDeleteYup, it should be use twice or thrice a week to remove whiteheads and blackheads.
DeleteI've never tried any nose patch before pero I tried some masks. I think I'd rather have masks than this.
ReplyDeleteMasks are used for the whole face for added moisturewhile this targets a certain problem like whiteheads and blackheads. If you try this, you'll be amazed with the result.
DeleteThis reminds me that I need to use nose patches again as it looks like several blackheads have started to find a home on my nose. Yikes!
ReplyDeleteMe too! That's why i want to try that charcoal from TFS but until now, I still can't see any stocks. T_T
DeleteMy skin was tamed with Obagi and I don't really have whiteheads or blackheads on my nose, but I love the face shop products especially the CC Aura Cream :)
ReplyDeleteCool! What service from Obagi do you get? I don't think I can't afford Obagi with my very little salary so using this treats some of my skin problem.
DeleteI used to get the nose strips from Bench, they worked really well. For some time I also got this goat's milk cream at HBC you put it on your nose then it will kinda harden but only like a rubbery feel. when you take it off it does the same thing to your nose .
ReplyDeleteTried Bench already and I must say it's also good but nothing beats TFS Charcoal for me. The one from HBC is like IWhite cream as well.
DeleteTried one just recently but I forgot what brand is that. Not effective and I don't like its scent, hehe.
ReplyDeleteIf there's any The Face Shop store in your area Mommy Maye, grab their charcoal nose strip. Super effective I'm telling you!
DeleteI had been looking for a nose patch. This looks good and would give it a try.
ReplyDeletePlease take time to read, cause it's not really good at all.
DeleteHaven't tried this kind of product yet. Thanks for your review, I'll skip this one, not a big fan of super sticky stuff kasi.
ReplyDeletewww.wish4less.com
The product wasn't that good kasi but if you use this kind of thing from The Face Shop, I bet you'll love it!
DeleteI was thinking getting some today, and I'll check Face Shop too. Thanks for the recommendation Sis.
Deletewww.sweetcuisinera.com
Always welcome sis. :)
DeleteThanks for sharing the review, that means I won't be purchasing this one and look for other product instead.
ReplyDeleteYep. Try The Face Shop Charcoal strip. Really very effective!

ReplyDeleteThank you for the review. I would rather stick to my brand of nose strips then since this brand isn't that effective and it costs more.
ReplyDeleteNature Republic, though, has great shades of nail polish. :)
What's the brand you are using?
DeleteI am currently using a nose strip as I read your blog. So coincidental! Love to scrutinise the blackheads that come out.
ReplyDeleteWhat brand are you using?
DeleteIt looks really effective! I wanna try this! Thanks for the review.
ReplyDeleteDid I say it is? Hmmm.. I say it is NOT.
DeleteWe had one at home but it was different brand. Just like this one, it was sticky after removing the strip and did not pulled much of the blackheads and whiteheads too.
ReplyDeleteTry The Face Shop's Black Charcoal instead. That is what's effective!
