Product overview
Groome Black Head Remover Charcoal Nose Strips (6pcs) are charcoal-based pore strips designed to lift blackheads and excess oil from the nose, sold under the Groome brand (a concern of Unicorn, Dhaka, Bangladesh). This is a distinct variant from Groome's Tea Tree nose strips, using different named active ingredients.
Sourcing note: no official Groome product page for this exact SKU disclosed an ingredient list or manufacturer -- the ingredient list below is cross-verified across two independent Bangladeshi retailers, which is a stronger sourcing basis than a single-retailer listing. Country of origin is disclosed inconsistently across sources -- one retailer states "Product of Bangladesh," while another retailer's product URL carries a "-cn" suffix that may denote China, though this could not be confirmed from visible page content. Both are disclosed here rather than one being asserted as fact.
Key Ingredients
- Charcoal Powder -- the featured purifying ingredient, used for its oil- and impurity-drawing properties
- Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Water -- included for its toning, astringent properties
- Also contains Propylene Glycol, Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA -- the strip's adhesive film base), Glycerin, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, and Methylparaben, per the cross-verified retailer ingredient list
Key Features
- 6-piece pack of adhesive charcoal pore strips for the nose
- Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) film base that hardens on drying to grip and lift debris from pores
- Recommended for ages 13 and above, per retailer guidance
Benefits
- Helps visibly lift blackheads, excess oil, and surface debris from the nose in a single use
- Charcoal Powder content is intended to help draw out oil and impurities from the treated area
Who Can Use This Product
- Those looking for a charcoal-based pore-cleansing treatment for blackhead-prone noses, ages 13 and above
- Usage-frequency sourcing note: one source recommends weekly use for those prone to excess blackheads, while another advises a maximum of twice weekly to avoid disrupting the skin's moisture barrier -- both figures are presented here rather than a single frequency being asserted as confirmed
- Those with known sensitivity to Witch Hazel or Methylparaben should patch test before use
How to Use
Wash and dry the face first. Open the pack with dry hands, wet the nose, and apply the shiny (adhesive) side firmly to the nose. Leave in place for 10-15 minutes until the strip fully dries and hardens. Starting from the edges, gently peel the strip toward the center. Rinse the face thoroughly and moisturize afterward.
Storage & Safety
For external use only. Avoid contact with the eyes and mucous membranes. Do not apply to broken, irritated, or sunburned skin. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Discontinue use if irritation develops. Keep out of reach of children.
