Review: Peach Slices Nose Pore Patches

0 Comments

Since I have combination-oily skin I'm always interested in trying new products to help minimize the visibility of my pores. There are now nose pore patches that utilize the tried and true hydrocolloid technology to help suck up sebaceous filaments from the nose. Enter: Peach Slices Nose Pore Patches.

I wish I had a story as to why I bought these, but I don't. I simply threw them in my cart because they were on sale. I do like the Biore Original Blackhead Remover Strips, but I felt that they can be damaging to the skin's moisture barrier if used too often (but they are highly effective!). I have also used the Hero Cosmetics Mighty Patch Nose Pore Pimple Patches and they were okay... but these are cheaper.

Peach Slices Nose Pore Patch has a better design compared to Mighty Patch

The concept for the Peach Slices Nose Pore Patches are exactly the same as Hero Cosmetics Mighty Patch Nose Pore Pimple Patches. It's a thinner hydrocolloid bandage that is shaped to fit your nose. If you're not familiar with hydrocolloid bandages, it's a type of first aid dressing that sticks to the skin and essentially absorbs moisture from a wound; or in this case the sebaceous filament from your nose. I do think that Peach Slices has a better overall patch design compared to Mighty Patch though, simply because you can peel it from the center making for easier application.

INGREDIENTS

There are no ingredients in the Peach Slices Nose Pore Patch other than Hydrocolloid. Hydrocolloid is typically made of gelatin, pectin, and sodium carboxymethylcellulose. This forms a gummy-feeling, breathable adhesive bandage that absorbs moisture when it comes in contact with wound exudate. These ingredients themselves should not directly cause any acne or irritation to the skin, however the act of removing the bandage can be somewhat painful and bothersome.

BEFORE AND AFTER

I guess I'm not going out for a while.

My nose looks worse lol.

The instructions for the Peach Slices Nose Pore Patches say to thoroughly cleanse and exfoliate the nose for best results; which is what I did. I waited about an hour after my shower to ensure that my nose was fully dry before applying. It also says to wear it for six to eight hours so I left it on overnight. At first it was a bit annoying to wear, but it didn't prevent me from falling asleep.

When I woke up in the morning, I couldn't wait to get this thing off my face. It just felt annoying leaving it on for so long. I slowly peeled the Peach Slices Nose Pore Patch off of my face, which was not as painful as the Hero Cosmetics Mighty Patch Nose Pore Pimple Patches but I wish I could say that the results were better. It left noticeable wrinkles all around my nose which took over an hour to dissipate. I guess I'm not going anywhere for a while. It also didn't get my sebaceous filaments to absorb into the patch. They were indeed brought to the surface and made them much more noticeable. I'm sure if you followed up with an innisfree Pore Clearing Clay Mask it would clear it all up, but I don't have time for this nonsense.

FINAL THOUGHTS

I will not buy these again. Oh my goodness who has the time to wear a nose patch for six to eight hours, somewhat painful removal, and then wait for the marks to fade off of your nose; only to then be left with pores that are even more noticeable? Sorry but the Peach Slices Nose Pore Patches are just not for me.

This blog was started to help other fellow NC37s on their quest to finding the perfect BB cushion. Being a big fan of K-Beauty, it is very difficult to find cushions darker than shade 23. It can be quite the gamble ordering makeup from overseas without an inkling of what that may look like, or even if it is beneficial for certain skin types. I am willing to buy these products, swatch, and test them in order to help others make an informed decision.
