Final Thoughts on Nose Patch

Etude House nose patch is not a miracle product, but it is decent. It fits into the world of etude cosmetic items that are affordable and easy to use. If you are into light skincare and want something that feels pleasant, this might work for you.

Just do not expect it to clear blackheads in one go. It is more of a maintenance tool than a heavy-duty blackhead mask. Use it with other products, moisturize after, and maybe steam before. That is the best way to get results.

Skin felt smoother after using it with clear blackheads, and the pores on nose looked a bit tighter. Not dramatically, but enough to notice. For the price, it is worth a try. Especially if you are already into etude house make up and want to explore more of their skincare line.
