How do I get rid of these obnoxious blackheads?

Question

I've had them since I was young on my nose. First of all, they are not pimples so popping is out of the question. I use a facial cleanser each night and have also tried those Bioré pore strips, but they're still there. I can't afford to go to a medspa (nor do I trust them) or a dermatologist...is there some kind of home remedy or great product?

Answer 1

i used proactive solutions for a bit...i really didn't like anything in the kit but the mask...lol..i think it works better thought if you leave it on over night...but really the best thing ive used and still using is...monistat 7 (old school method 7 day box) and ambe soap (face wash) for my acne...trust me...you'll see unbelievable results the next morning...btw you can get all that at walmart...the soap...look in the black section...lol..and both these...use em for how ever long you need too...

day

1. wash ur face with ambe soap

2.apply monosate 7...dab on forehead...cheeks...chin..rub in...do not wash...

night

1. repeat step 1 and 2 (of above)..just put it on a little heaver than you would in the day

2. sleep in it

3. repeat

ps...if you want to use the proactive mask...do it only once a wee...its hella harch on ur skin to use more than that...

pps...you can also use Monostat Chafing Relief Powder-Gel as a makeup primer (foundation base)!!!

Answer 2

Retin-A-Micro. The problem is that first 2-3 weeks you'll experience side effects such as redness, itching, dry skin but after 1 month of using nothing. Here some links about this medication:

And link about side effects:

And I found this web site where you can buy it on-line without prescription (it's a bit expensive though):

http://www.edrugstore.md/Retin-A.jsp

Read about all side effects. I didn't read about them so I stopped using it after two days (peeling, redness...) but I read that if you use it with moisturizer everything will be fine. I didn't start to use it yet though.

Answer 3

Neutrogena has a great blackhead eliminating face wash!  It makes your face really soft too!

Answer 4

getting a facial is the only sure way. but you go out and get an extraction tool, but be careful they can tear your skin.
