Best blackhead treatment

Young teenage son has some cracking blackheads on his chin but won't let me near him to squeeze. Bah.

Any suggestions for cheap, effective treatment he can do himself? Pore steps or a peel off mask? It's been a couple of decades since I had to deal with this kind of skin issue!

Something with a bha. Nip and fab Salicylic pads?

Bit of an aside...I've been having some great results with Sunday Riley good genes for reducing pores on my nose, but it's not for teenage boys.

salicylic acid is the stuff. It sort of exfoliates them from the inside out - my DS' used to sort of shrink in the pore and fall out. The Ordinary do a liquid or a cream mask.

Bribe that boy with good hard cash! Blackheads can be extracted with no harm done, and big ones take their sweet time to go of their own accord.
