Tried and proven methods for blackhead removal
The first step in the what seem to be an never-ending battle against blackheads, is to understand exactly what it is. Blackheads are a type of acne that forms when a pore is clogged with dead skin cells or oil. They turn black because the congested pore gets exposed to oxygen, and therefore darkens.
Now that we know why and how blackheads occur - the world still seem to believe that treatment several times a week is what you must do to demolish/ minimize your blackheads. This will cost you thousands and thousands of dollars in the long term. Trust us. We know.. Here are the most cost effective and result giving treatment methods:
Method 1: Blackhead/ pore extractors.
These devices are not similar to any cream, lotion, exfoliant or pore strip available on the market. Blackhead extractors are made to literally suck the clogged pore by utilizing technology that causes a negative vacuum effect.
The main benefit with a blackhead extraction device is:
Method 2: Blackhead peel-off masks.
Blackhead peel-off masks is a carbon full face masks used to remove blackheads and the dead skin on the areas of your face. It will take everything in it's path, so it may remove some facial hair as well. The Purifying Black Mask will remove the dead skin and purify your skin. Once applied, the Black Mask becomes very tight and it adheres to the skin like glue.

These masks has received large traction and quickly became viral as people posted their experiences peeling off these masks.

Another con is that it does NOT go to the end of the pore - as displayed in the image above. Our customers most popular choice is: The Official Blackhead Peel Off Mask
Method 3: Dermatologists.
As with most complexion concerns, the key to clear pores may lie with your dermatologist. He/she can write a prescription for retinoids (if OTC options haven't worked) or suggest an in-office treatment, such as a chemical peel or Isolaz, an multi-session therapy that combines light and pore suctioning. Dermatologist visits costs a lot of money in the end, yet, they always yield great results! The issue is that you always have to go back. Also, the pore suctioning is often the technique that they use to suck your pores to the depth, the very same method that you can use with Porelite™.
Method 3:
Many people—especially those with sensitive and acne-prone skin—tend to stay away of chemical exfoliants, not realizing that they can actually be gentler than scrubs. Beyond its blemish and wrinkle fighting abilities, topical retinoids encourage cellular turnover, decongest pores, and prevent the formation of future blackheads. Keep in mind that retinol can cause photosensitivity.
Method 4: Retinoids.
"Retinoids are a great treatment for blackheads, and while many people with sensitive skin are loath to try them, there are low-strength retinoids which are often more tolerable" — Rebecca Kleinerman, a dermatologist in New York City
Method 5: Exfoliators.
Use an enzymatic exfoliator at least twice a week. Like masks that have papaya, charcoal, pineapple extract, or clay to debride — or wash away — surface skin cells.
Extra tip: Microneedling treatments
OUCH. These work wonders on your blackheads. Yet, they are very, very uncomfortable.
At last, don't forget to moisturize.
All of these methods will most likely strip some oils from the skin, which causes drying. A surprising fact is that you might need to moisturize your skin to treat your blackheads. Maintaining balance in your skin will allow you to use exfoliating products without issues. In the end, the most result driven and effective method of them all is to use a real blackhead extractor device. As mentioned before, they literally suck the blackheads out of your pores.
