DO NOT DO THIS!!! Comments By: christa Please anybody reading this do not take this seriously. I sincerely hope that this person was joking and if they are not they have been grossly misinformed. This may and most likely will clog your pores. If you are having problems with blackheads then try salicylic acid which dissolves oil and impurities in your pores. Blackheads can be quite persistent so this may take time however clogging your pores with glue does not appear to be a sensible solution.   Oh? Comments By: Marie Gee, my mother did it for years, i've picked it up in the last year sence my child was born. Its done nothing but wonders for me. Perhapps you should look into actual results before deciding what they should be.   i AGREE NOT TO DO IT Comments By: kirsten HELLO>>ELMERS GLUE IS FOR PAPER NOT FOR FACES>UNLESS YOU WANT A SERIOUS TRIP TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM..PLEASE *THINK* && DO NOT ACTUALLY CONSIDER THIS. GO GET BIORE PORE STRIPS> THEY WORK MIRACLES && THEY HAVE BEEN APPROVED BY DERMATOLOGISTS..WHICH I AM SURE ELMERS HASNT   uuuh... no! Comments By: cherisa Glad to see this has worked from some people. But your skin is the largest, most breathable organ. Whatever ends up on your skin, your skin absorbs. And consequently whatever you put on it ends up in your body. If you don't want this ending up in your blood supply and the chemicals going to all the other organs in your body, then don't put this on your skin.   ITS NOT TOXIC,IT WORKS!!! Comments By: Samantha I do this at LEAST 3 times a week,as long as it is non toxic(duh)It wont hurt you. -_- And it leaves your skin soft and pimple free,just be shure to wash your face afterward and you will be FINE.   It works Comments By: Cassie This DOES work. I have never used it, but plan on it. I read it in a book just yesterday. It helps to unclog your pores, pulling out whatever is clogging them. Seriously. I saw it.   I don't think so Comments By: Kimberly this might work for some, but for me i didn't do anything, it just made things worse, and when i stop to think about it, why would you put GLUE!! on your skin? It's glue!!!   uhh Comments By: Anon umm excuse me, glue??? would that not just clog up some more pores? psh i am so glad i'm not gullible enough to try this.   to the naysayers Comments By: annyoyed at rudeness why would you make rude statements about someone's idea when you haven't even tried it? if you don't think it will work, dont do it yourself. if you think it is dangerous, then say so. but if you seriously think that putting elmer's on your face is going to kill you, you are ignorant and stupid. it may give you a few zits or it may help- i have not tried it myself, but this person was only trying to help you, ther is no reason to be rude about anything.   ? Question Comments By: Chair Do you put a thick layer of glue or a thin layer? Also does it matter which type of glue you put on? (As in the white glue or the gel blue-ish looking glue)   Wow. People panic a lot online. Comments By: Calm Down! It's Elmer's, guys. Kids eat this stuff when they're little, and have been for decades. That's why it says "Safe, Non-Toxic" on it. How could it be any worse than the adhesive on a Biore strip? That being said, I just tried it, and either I didn't use enough or it's only effective in some cases. It did, however, remove some dry, flaky skin, and did not leave a residue like the Biore strips always do on me. I think it may benefit those with larger pores more. Okay, everyone please stop fighting now about children's glue on noses. There have to be better topics to get all hopped up about.
