Remember when pore strips had their big debut in the late ’90s? They were a quick fix for clogged pores and skincare champion Bioré was at the forefront. Well, they’ve done it again with their new Pore Refining Bubbling Nose Mask and it is taking a more considered approach to clearing congestion.
This targeted, 2-in-1 treatment is designed specifically for the nose area, where oil, debris and buildup tend to collect in your pores. But this time, instead of relying on the quick pull of a strip or a more typical abrasive scrub, the mask uses an effervescent serum to loosen and lift impurities while gently exfoliating the surface of your nose. Here’s how it works.
The formula activates the moment it comes into contact with your skin and with the air. Yes, we said air, because that’s what helps the bubbles oxygenation process, which allows the formula to penetrate your pores more effectively and break down oil and sebum. Cleansing agents then target excess oil without over-drying your skin, while smoothing components help refine texture and minimize the look of enlarged pores. Built-in silicone scrubbers offer a controlled, physical exfoliation that helps sweep away what the serum has already loosened. The end result is skin that feels cleaner, smoother and less congested.
Each individual mask (there are eight in a package) is quick and super easy to use. Simply wash your face with your favourite cleanser, pat your face dry and press the product onto your nose and let it activate before gently massaging your nose with the textured side of the mask. Then, let the bubbling do its work. Because it does work. Afterall, Bioré has spent decades focusing on pore care.
“The brand has always been about empowering consumers to take control of their pore care,” affirms Ashley Vriens, the senior brand manager at Bioré Canada. “This launch brings a fun yet effective solution that delivers visible results in just minutes. Pairing a unique bubbling sensorial experience, this mask offers a gentle, dermatologist-tested approach to deep cleansing, helping Canadians feel confident in their skin and making advanced pore care more accessible than ever.”
We couldn’t agree more.
