My Experience with Essence Pure Skin Purifying Face Strips:
The packaging is very handy and small. It comes in a cardboard packaging with all instructions printed over it. Inside the cardboard packaging, lie 3*2 strips which are, again, individually packaged within a sealed plastic cover.
The strip within this packaging is like a sticker. There is a transparent sheet on which the light blue triangular strip is stuck. The strip can be easily and smoothly peeled off from the sheet and applied as required. In one of my packets, the strip was not even stuck. It had already peeled off but was holding its shape and structure.
The shape of the strip is more like a triangle with rounded edges. Here is how it’s supposed to be used: You need to wash your face clean with a face wash and then pat it dry. Then, moisten the area where the strip is supposed to be applied and stick the strip.
I have used only one strip till now and I used it on my chin area. The strip has to be left for 10 minutes. While doing all this, the hands have to be clean and dry. I left the strip on for 15 minutes to get better results.
During the waiting time, the strip was sticking but not tightly enough to my skin and I could see the edges peeling off. With strips from another brand, I could feel the strip working. There was kind of a tugging effect. But with this strip, it felt very dry and prickly.
There was no burning sensation on my sensitive skin, though. After 15 minutes, I pulled the strip out in one shot as it was almost coming off. It was not painful. Now, to the results: It was nothing, but a curled up piece of strip.
It had done absolutely nothing! My chin felt and looked the same. The product feels very flimsy and I hate using it. It’s not effective at all and a complete waste of money. I am not sure what the reason was but the product failed so hopelessly.
Pros of Essence Pure Skin Purifying Face Strips:
• Inexpensive
Cons of Essence Pure Skin Purifying Face Strips:
• Flimsy strips
• Do not remove white or black heads
• Prickly feeling
• Not effective at all
