1. Cleanse and dry your nose area thoroughly. 2. Remove the protective film from one strip. 3. Apply the gel side firmly onto your nose, smoothing from the center outwards to avoid air bubbles. 4. Leave on for 10-15 minutes until the strip is completely dry and hardened. 5. Starting from the edges, peel off slowly and gently in one smooth motion. 6. Rinse with water if any residue remains. For best results, use 1-2 times per week. **Timeline Expectations**: Week 1: Notice an immediate, satisfying removal of surface blackheads and sebum. Your nose feels smoother and looks cleaner. Week 2-3: With consistent weekly use, pores appear visibly tighter and less clogged. The deep-cleaning effect becomes more pronounced. Week 4+: Maintains a clear, refined nose texture. Regular use helps prevent blackheads from forming, keeping pores looking minimized and clean.

Kose was founded in 1946 in Tokyo, Japan, with a simple philosophy: create skincare that works for real life. The Softymo Black Pack was developed specifically to tackle the stubborn blackheads and clogged pores caused by modern pollution and daily stress. Kose researchers spent years perfecting a formula that uses activated charcoal powder, a natural ingredient known for its deep-drawing power, combined with a gentle, skin-conforming hydrogel. Every batch is produced in a GMP-certified Japanese facility, ensuring pharmaceutical-grade quality and consistency. This commitment has made it a top-ranked pore strip in Japan for over a decade, trusted by millions for its reliable, visible results.

The Kose Softymo Black Pack - Deep Pore Cleansing Nose Strips contain a carefully formulated blend of ingredients designed to effectively remove blackheads and impurities from pores. Key components include polyvinyl alcohol and polyvinylpyrrolidone, which form the adhesive gel base that adheres to the skin and hardens to mechanically lift out sebum, dirt, and dead skin cells from pores. Activated charcoal is incorporated for its powerful absorbent properties, drawing out toxins and excess oils while providing deep cleansing. Additional ingredients like glycerin and butylene glycol serve as humectants to maintain skin hydration during the treatment, preventing excessive dryness. Menthol is included to deliver a cooling sensation that soothes the skin and enhances the user experience. These strips also feature kaolin clay, which helps to absorb excess sebum and refine pore appearance. The combination of these ingredients ensures a thorough cleansing action that targets blackhead-prone areas, particularly the nose, leaving skin feeling refreshed and pores visibly clearer with regular use.
