Dr. Althea Blackhead Zero 2-Step Nose Patch (4 sheets)

Product Overview

The Dr. Althea Blackhead Zero 2-Step Nose Patch is a comprehensive solution designed to effectively remove blackheads and excess sebum while minimizing skin irritation. Unlike traditional nose strips that can be harsh, this two-step system gently softens and extracts impurities, then soothes and tightens pores to prevent future congestion. Each package contains four sets of patches, making it convenient for regular use.

Key Features

• Gentle Blackhead Removal: The first step softens sebum and blackheads, allowing for easy extraction without aggressive pulling, reducing the risk of skin irritation.
• Pore Tightening and Soothing: The second step involves a patch infused with natural extracts like Centella Asiatica and Tea Tree, which calm the skin and help tighten pores after blackhead removal.
• Sebum Control: Contains Tea Tree Leaf Oil to regulate sebum production, helping to prevent future blackhead formation.
• Innovative Design: Includes specially designed double-tipped cotton buds—one end for wiping away loosened blackheads and sebum, and the other with a non-invasive extractor tool for thorough cleansing.
• Suitable for Sensitive Skin: Formulated to minimize irritation, making it appropriate for those with sensitive skin concerns.

How to Use

1. **Step 1: Sebum Softening Patch** - After cleansing and drying your face, apply the Step 1 patch to your nose area. - Leave it on for 10 to 15 minutes to allow the formula to soften blackheads and sebum. - Remove the patch and gently wipe away the loosened impurities using the provided cotton bud. Use the flat end to swipe away debris and the extractor end for any stubborn blackheads. 2. **Step 2: Pore Tightening Patch** - Apply the Step 2 patch to the same area. - Leave it on for another 10 to 15 minutes to soothe the skin and tighten the pores. - Remove the patch and gently pat any remaining essence into the skin for better absorption. 3. **Follow-Up Care** - Proceed with your regular skincare routine, such as applying toner and moisturizer, to maintain hydration and skin balance. - For optimal results, use the nose patch 1-2 times per week, depending on your skin's needs.
