I have small pores on my nose area so most of the nose strips don't work at all. I was really interested in this 3-step nose strip, because it gave me the feeling that it would open my pores better than only using a nose strip. Unfortunately step 1 (opening pores) did not have an effect on my nose at all. Maybe it's because my pores are too small, but I did hope it would do a better job than other strips. 

I believe it will have better outcomes for people with large pores.
