ILSO Natural Mild Clear Nose Patch — Soin 2 Étapes Nez

This two-step patch relies on a gentle extraction mechanism, far from the aggressive strips that tear everything in their path.

Chestnut Shell Extract (Castanea Crenata Shell Extract): this plant-based active soothes the area after extraction while helping to visually reduce pore size. Unlike traditional astringents that dry out the skin, it combines tightening and gentleness.

Witch Hazel (Hamamelis Virginiana Extract): present in both steps, it regulates sebum, tones pore walls, and limits their reappearance. Its natural astringent action has been recognized for decades in dermatology.

Panthenol : provitamin B5 hydrates and repairs the epidermis immediately after extraction. It prevents reactive dehydration, common after deep cleansing.

Fruity AHA Complex (Citrus Limon, Acer Saccharum, Saccharum Officinarum): these mild acids exfoliate the stratum corneum and facilitate the melting of oxidized sebum without mechanical friction.

Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate : a licorice derivative, it soothes redness and prevents post-treatment inflammation, essential for sensitive skin.

☀️ Morning routine

Not recommended in the morning (risk of sun sensitivity after AHA exfoliation).

🌙 Evening routine

1. Clean your face and completely dry your nose (the biocellulose only adheres to dry skin)
2. Apply Step 1 patch on the nose — leave on for 10-15 minutes (the patch remains flexible, does not harden)
3. Remove the patch and use the provided cotton swabs to gently remove softened blackheads
4. Rinse with lukewarm water to remove residue
5. Immediately apply Step 2 patch on the treated area — leave on for 15-20 minutes
6. Remove and pat in the remaining essence, then follow with your usual serum and cream

Frequency: 1 to 2 times per week maximum. Too frequent use could weaken the skin barrier.

This two-step patch is designed for several skin types:

• Oily skin with a shiny T-zone : those who accumulate oxidized sebum on the nose, chin, or forehead
• Combination skin with visible enlarged pores : if your pores look like small craters after makeup removal, this protocol gradually tightens them
• Sensitive skin reactive to traditional strips : the bio-cellulose and hypoallergenic formula (EWG Green Grade ingredients, 7-Free) prevent the harsh tearing of traditional strips
• Users of retinol or acids : as a complement to an exfoliating routine, this patch specifically targets congested areas without overloading the entire face

Avoid if: extremely dehydrated skin (treat dehydration first), open wounds or active eczema on the nose, known allergy to AHAs or witch hazel.

Results vary depending on the severity of your blackheads:

From the first use : visible extraction of oxidized sebum, immediate feeling of cleanliness, refined skin texture on the treated area. Pores feel less clogged to the touch.

After 2-3 weeks of regular use (1x/week): reduced sebum production on the nose, visibly tightened pores, clearer complexion. Blackheads reappear more slowly than with regular strips.

After 4-6 weeks : smoother skin texture, less shine by midday. The combined action of witch hazel and panthenol gradually strengthens the pore walls, limiting future dilation.

Important: this is not a permanent solution — pores naturally refill. Incorporate it into an overall routine (gentle daily cleansing, appropriate hydration, sun protection).
