Blackheads - anyone know of a potion to lift the buggers out?

[catshavefeelings]

I've tried fizzling and I've got one of those scapey stick with a hole in things, but still have millions lots of little blackheads over my face .

Anyone know of a magical potion to bring them to the surface so I can squeeze them out to reveal my gorgeous complexion?

Have you tried the salicylic acid peel?

[Marylou2]

Clarisonic will clear them up in no time. Sounds expensive but will change your skin beyong recognition. Maybe a christmas present to yourself?

[Kinora]

I use Clearasil facial shrub on my blacked prone nose and chin. I use it everyday and it does the trick.

Before you resort to expensive methods, what have you tried?

[AlwaysBizzy]

I have a Tresonic from QVC...like clarisonic but a fraction of the price. Nothing else has ever worked

[Bella88]

Retin A or a glycolic product like Liquid Gold. Both smooth out fine lines too, bonus!

use the blardy neutrogena stuff that I we everyone keeps liking to on here
the 3 in 1 stress hydrating stuff

blackheads are just an oxidisation of too much oil on your face
sometimes the stuff we use on our t zone isn't helpful and actually makes us produce more oil rather than less or sometimes the product only works topically

the neutrogena is a good bha which means that it has a decent amount of salicylic acid in it
a salycylic acid peel is also excellent as mentioned
as far as i know
the bha actually gets into the pores and helps sort out the problem with oil production from there.

i have used everything
i had oilslick skin as a teen and my b had bad bad acne
between us we have bought all of boots at some point

this stuff is brilliant
I no longer have pores on my nose...it's a miracle
i use it after a olay washcloth sensitive, rinse with warm water, pat dry then the neutrogena
i also use a aha but far less often now that i have lovely poreless high definition skin

Decleor toner for oily skin is brilliant for this. You can get a 400ml bottle for £18 and it lasts ages. Takes dirt off your face you never knew was there and is kind enough for quite sensitive skin.

Body Shop blue corn mask

I've bought the neutrogena spot stress controll purely because of this thread. So far my s&b list goes like this;

Snail gel = fail
Rosehip oil = fail

Sech vite = love it.

I'm due a success arent I?

The strips you stick on your nose. From the pound shop. They work well and I LOVE them

[WayneDeer]

The nose strips work only until you produce oil and it hits the air again
A bha will work in the cell
