Blackhead on nose removal

TooHotToBoogie · Yesterday 22:29

Just that really. I have small, maybe deep blackheads that I can't squeeze out on my nose. Has anyone found anything that will help?

Start by using a good facial wash like Cerave. Use salicylic acid on cotton wool pad afterwards . Use a face mask for blackheads. There are many to choose from.

Use a salicylic acid cleanser and/or treatment which will help to dislodge them - the ordinary do a good one and it's not expensive. I'd start with that and give it a few weeks before you try anything else as trying too much in one go isn't always helpful,

I just use the charcoal nose strips. You have to use them right so make sure your nose is completely Saturated and your hands are completely dry pat it down slowly try not to get any water on the outside. That works well for me and it's very satisfying 😂. I am sure though it's likely not the best way!

Are you sure they are blackheads and not simply sebaceous filaments? Salicylic acid is good for blackheads. Nivea Derma skin clear toner is good, very cheap and quite gentle. You can get a matching salicylic acid wash too. Just using the toner every night will help in a few days. This unblocks pores.

Someone already mentioned the ordinary 2 percent salicylic acid. I cant really use these 2 % ones on my face, i react very badly as they are too strong for my skin. You have to build up to using this level.

I had the same problem and really oily skin. I use the medicube zero pore pads for a few weeks and now I've added in the ordinary niacinamide 10%

I use my rotating toothbrush gently with a bit of soap

If sebaceous filaments then sulphur is a great way to remove them, but they come back so you need to use it daily. The Eradikate cleanser is great for this. Leave it on for a minute or two when washing to act as a mask too. Gently rub the area with your fingers, or gently use a pore cleaning silicone stick.
