pore strips

Blackhead removal patches

Pore strips are adhesive bandage-like strips applied to wet skin, typically on the nose, to extract blackheads and debris from pores.

After drying and hardening, the strip is peeled off, pulling out whatever has adhered to it: The pore strip was covered in little dark plugs.

A staple of skincare routines and satisfying-removal videos alike.
