Biore Pore Strip Nose Black Type

Japan's most satisfying deep-pore treatment — KAO Biore's Black Pore Strip uses activated charcoal in its adhesive matrix to target oxidised sebum (blackheads) more aggressively than the original white strip formula. The black colour strip is not merely aesthetic — charcoal has a high surface-area adsorption profile that helps draw out oil and debris from the pore lining as the strip dries and contracts. When peeled away, the strip lifts out congested material that sits in the upper third of the pore, visibly reducing the density of blackheads across the nose with a single application. Biore's strip technology was pioneered and refined in Japan, and the Black variant is the top-selling format for consumers with oily or combination skin with significant nasal congestion. Each pack includes 10 individual nose strips. As with all pore strips, results are immediate and visible — a perennially satisfying moment in the Japanese skincare ritual.

1. Cleanse the nose area and keep skin wet — the strip will not adhere to dry skin.
2. Peel the backing from the strip and smooth it firmly onto the wet nose, pressing all edges down to eliminate air gaps.
3. Allow the strip to dry completely — 10–15 minutes until it feels stiff. Do not rush this step.
4. Peel from the outer edge inward in a single steady motion — faster peeling can cause skin irritation.
5. Rinse residue away with cool water and apply a pore-tightening toner to close the cleared pore openings.
