Charcoal & Volcanic Ash Unclog Pore Strips by Montagne Jeunesse
This could quite possibly be the shortest post on my blog ever - there is only a limited amount you can say about strips that are designed to rip out any blockages from the pores in your face I suppose. So today, and for the first time ever I’m going to don a Montagne Jeunesse Charcoal & Volcanic Ash Unclog Pore Strips. I confess that I only tried these after seeing the packet in my box of things to try, taking a look in the mirror and thinking yeah, there are a few blocked pores there that could be on the verge of getting unsightly - I do after all spend two hours every day trapped on London Underground with the grime and pollution.
At 90 pence, yes 90 pence for a pack of three strips from Primark these aren’t exactly going to break the bank, and if they didn’t work it wasn’t as though much cash had been laid out on them.
This is what they say about the product over at the Montagne Jeunesse website here:
‘Mens nose pore strips enriched with Natural Charcoal that helps to absorb excess sebum and blackheads for cleaner, less visible pores around the nose, whilst Volcanic Minerals help to clear dead cells.’
After rinsing my face and leave it wet I removed one of the strips, ripped off the protective plastic and slapped the strip onto my nose. Applying pressure for about a minute and it stuck like glue, and I really do mean, like glue. There was no way this was falling off or showed any signs of peeling away from the skin.
After around two minutes it started to get a bit warm, nothing uncomfortable just slightly weird as I hadn’t expected that to happen.
Now, with ten minutes to kill until I could rip it off like a crusty old plaster I went to take a look in the mirror where I was immediately hit with two thoughts which seemed to come at the same time - the first was a flashback to the mighty Robbie Fowler in his Liverpool glory days (see picture below) and the second was a mild worry that as my nose is so massive if this was great it might leave a stripe where blocked pores remained. To say I was curious about the results was a understatement and then came the moment of truth….
With it’s adhesive nature in mind I was surprised how easily it peeled off and the fact that it was entirely painless. But, did it unblock my pores, draw out dirt and grime while removing any dead skin? Yes, yes it did. After rinsing off my face my nose was noticeably smoother to the touch, where there were blocked pores before there were none now and generally I have nothing but praise for these unblocking pore strips.
These won’t break the bank, they work and work well - with that in mind, my advice is give them a try.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

hmmm the brand name doesn't exactly trip off the tongue does it? But if they work then fair enough. just hope you aren't tempted to hit someone in nightclub toilets in Fowler mode. allegedly of course, am sure it wasn't true if his lawyers are reading.
ReplyDeleteThe other gentleman slipped repeatedly onto Robbie's forehead allegedly....
DeleteI am really impressed for 90p, you can't grumble too much if they work, they work x
ReplyDeleteI love this brand, I've had lots of face masks by them in the past, didn't know they did mens products too!
ReplyDeleteCorinne x
Wow only 90p. For that price, they're well worth it! Although I do find peeling pore strips off my nose rather painful, it has to be done! I'll look out for them in primark :)
ReplyDeleteGreat price! I love the bore charcoal strips but might tight this more budget friendly brand.
ReplyDeleteI totally need to give these a go! Bonus points for the Robbie Fowler reference, they always make me think of him too!
ReplyDeleteI love these and they're super budget friendly; I need some :D
ReplyDeleteThere is also only so much you can comment on these blocked pore strips!!
ReplyDeleteAhhh these kind of strips are so satisfying... And looking like Robbie Fowler is obviously a bonus! (Liverpool fan here :D)

Pain free and only 90p!? Really glad it worked, can't get any better than that!
ReplyDeleteI love this brand! I'd not heard of these strips by them before so I will certainly pop some in my basket x
ReplyDeleteI like the sound of these. Easier than doing a whole facepack.
ReplyDeleteBriiliant results and all for 90p - bargain!
ReplyDeleteMy bestfriend had a nose op and had to have tape over her nose and she said it was ace for her pores
ReplyDeleteWhat a bargain! You can't go wrong with the skincare bits from Primark x
ReplyDelete99p for real and it's 3 of them, I love me some primark. Glad it wasn't painful
ReplyDeleteI love these sorts of strips! I'm always rather horrified at what comes out of my skin, though.
ReplyDeleteI can't use pore strips as they hurt my skin too much. Pleased to see you got great results though! x
ReplyDeletewow that's really good to hear they worked so well for you.
ReplyDeleteI love pore strips every now and again - they really do work don't they x
ReplyDeleteI didn't even think such strips existed for men. Good find.
ReplyDeleteWow bargain, will have to try these!
ReplyDeleteIts good these work well, need to recommend these to hubby

Wow it really seems to have done the trick! x
ReplyDeleteGreat review although I feel like I need to do some unclogging now. Suspect it's the whole face though rather than just the nose LOL :)
ReplyDeleteHi Charly, after doing my nose I really felt like my entire face needed doing it removed that much gunk!
DeleteThese sound great, I have used them before albeit another brand x
ReplyDeleteThey seem great and they are very cheap. I had no idea there are ones for men, I'll tell my husband about them.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe they go for 99p each. That is so affordable. Sounds great.
ReplyDeleteHi Stella, they are actually 99p for 3, so even cheaper!
