Safety will depend on the kind of skin that you have. Also, make sure that you're skin is already strong.

I use it once a week, maybe twice but I don't think it's the real solution. They will come back.. :( now I'm trying to use salicylic acid around my blackheads area as I've heard that they will travel into pores and clear them. Will try witch hazel when I finished my toner too.

I have heard that if you have sensitive skin the adhesive on the strips can be harmful because it tears at the skin and damages it. I don't know how true it is but I would use a facial mask to clean pores instead. They have peel-off ones that work kind of like the glue method (which I haven't tried and wouldn't really suggest using all the time. School glue is non-toxic but I'm sure there are chemicals in it that are not ideal for the skin so it seems like not such a good idea.) but are gentler on the skin and usually have some other benefits. Check out the Freeman masks. They come in little packs so you can try one or two and then get a full size if you want. They're at most drugstores and Walmart. The cucumber one and the pomegranate ones are peel-off masks but they may have more. It doesn't have to be peel off though. They also have clay masks that cleanse pores. Just read the packets and see which you think would work best.
Also just make sure your skin is kept clean and oil free after using a mask or a pore strip. Pores are always going to attract dirt and oil so the only real way to keep them clean is to keep the face clean. Use a cleanser, a toner and an oil-free non-pore-clogging moisturizer. Exfoliating once or twice a week with a gentle scrub also helps.
