On areas of the face with a tendency to oily, in particular the nose, chin and forehead, sebum production is often greater. This is how we can see blackheads (also called comedones) appear on combination to oily skin.

Bioré purifying charcoal patches

These charcoal patches act like a magnet to capture and rid the skin of encrusted impurities, excess sebum and blackheads. With patented C-Bond Technology, the substance of the patches (positively charged) will attach to imperfections (negatively charged) to attract them and thus trap them.

How to use:
After cleanse your skin, apply the shiny part of the patch to your wet nose, pressing well. Let dry 10 to 15 minutes, until the patch is stiff. Gently remove the patch starting from the ends, then rinse with water.

Our opinion:
As it dries, the patch becomes really hard. So it's pretty easy to know when it's time to take it out. Blackheads are effectively eliminated, the skin is softer and smoother.

What is a black point?

Blackheads mainly develop in the nose, forehead and chin. They are due to an obstruction of sebum and dead cells. To put it simply, the black point is the result of an accumulation of impurities in a pore of the skin, which will thus form a kind of plug which oxidizes on contact with the air and eventually turns black.

How do blackhead patches work?

In the form of disposable strips, these patches are generally applied to the nose, chin or forehead. In most case, it should be left to act for about ten minutes before removing the patch. The blackheads stick to the strip and are thus dislodged from their pores.

What type of skin are they recommended for?

If you have combination to oily, blemish-prone skin then these patches are for you. Be careful not to abuse it, otherwise it will irritate your skin. On the other hand, if you have reactive and / or sensitive skin, then they could be a little too aggressive.

Should we pierce a black point?

Just like any blemish on our skin, the temptation to pierce a blackhead is great. But don't touch! By dint of triturating it too much you will only worsen your case at the risk of ending up with an infected and painful comedo.
