Does anyone have any suggestions for black head remover stuff? DIY or store bought is good. =] I'm not picky at all, I just want them gone
( Read more... )
i personally do not think anything other than extractions will get rid of blackheads (the only other thing i have had a little bit of success with is pore strips)
The Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque (which you can find at Walgreens, CVS, or Sally's Beauty Supplies) got rid of my blackhead on the first try! I use it every 3 days.
Blackheads royally suck and if you don't pinpoint the cause, they'll always come back unless you're really diligent about taking care of your skin.
1. Aspirin mask! Cheap and calming.
2. BHA/Salicylic acid - I have used a bunch of drugstore products in the 2% concentration, and don't really care for most of them. Stridex pads in the red box and Nature's Cure Body Acne spray are my favorites, but the best most effective thing so far is Paula's Choice 2% BHA Liquid. I alternate this with Retin-A.
3. Blackhead extractors. Not those little battery powered things, those don't do jack, but the metal double-ended extractors. They're cheap. Just be sure you sterilize it before and after using it, either with alcohol or in a pot of boiling water. I use it after getting out of the shower, and when I'm done removing blackheads, I use the aspirin mask to reduce the redness and inflammation caused by removing the blackheads.
For reference I have hypersensitive skin that gets angry pretty easily.
