I have very sensitive skin so Biore pore strips have always been a big no-no for me since they pulled too much on my skin. These do not. While it does mean they don't remove as much from the bridge of the nose what they do remove from the hard-to-get to sides of my nose and crease of my nose make these awesome. They do smell a bit strange but are worth what I paid. They left my skin feeling smooth and not irritated. If you have super sensitive skin I'd give these a shot!
