FAQ

Acne is typically caused by excess oil, clogged pores, and bacteria in your pores. When getting rid of acne, focus on products designed for acne and acne-prone skin like an acne cleanser and acne scrub.

When using a pore strip, clean and wet the skin on your nose or face. Take the pore strip out the packaging and remove the plastic from the strip. Apply the strip to your face with the smooth side of the pore strip down. Allow 10-15 minutes for the pore strip to dry before slowly peeling off the strip.

Bioré pore strips use patented C-bond technology, so they are designed to bind to blackheads, not your skin. With this technology, our pore strips were created to lift out the ENTIRE pore plug, not just the top of it.

When using our face cleansers, wet your face and massage the cleanser over your face and neck. Rinse thoroughly and use daily for optimal results.

Pore strips are designed to instantly get rid of blackheads and clogged pores. Like with any skincare product, pore strips are not for everyone's skin. If you have sensitive skin, consult your dermatologist before using pore strips.
With our pore strips, we took the saying, 'opposites attract' to heart with our patented C-bond technology. During the application process, the positively charged pore strip latches on to negatively charged blackheads for safe, effective, and instant removal. Bioré is the only pore strip that uses this patented, magnet-like technology designed specifically to bind to blackheads, not your skin.

We recommend that you avoid using pore strips on inflammed pores like acne and pimples.

When used in skincare, charcoal can help draw out pore-clogging material like dirt, oil, and bacteria. For oily skin, cleansing your face is essential in preventing blackheads and other skin impurities. Our charcoal cleanser works harder than a basic cleanser to leave your face deeply cleaned and tingly-smooth.

No. Biore products do not contain any plastic microbeads. We use natural exfoliating alternatives, such as jojoba beads.
