Blackheads: Pt 2
March 3rd 2008 09:43
Anyone who read my last post would see that I recommended Biore strips to get rid of them. One reader who made a comment on that post asked how or why this could happen. I wrote to the KAO brand company, and this was their response (copied and pasted EXACTLY):
Sarah:
We're pleased you're using our Biore Pore Strips and are sorry to learn of your disappointment.
In response to your inquiry, as you use the strips over time the results will be less visible since you will have less blackheads to remove over time. In addition, if you are using any salicylic acid products like those in our Biore line then you will see diminished blackheads and less visible results on the strip.
Also, your blackheads may be embedded under layers of skin cells which prevents the C Bond from binding to the plug. If there is no binding, the strip cannot pull the blackhead out. Use Biore Pore Unclogging Scrub for a few days to help dissolve the skin layer. Then try the strips again. It is also important to use a cleanser that does not leave behind a residual on the skin, like a moisturizing cleanser would. Otherwise the strip may have trouble adhering to the skin.
Hopefully this information has answered you questions.
Thank you for the opportunity to be of service.
Cordially,

Hope this helps guys. Thanks for the comment!
