Hi all im 17 years old now and am completey acne free, i suffered from acne and blackheads since i was 13 years old. AS well as being very irritating it also caused me depression. Then i took it upon my self to fight acne and i found the best routine for me included 3 washes a day. morning, after tea, and bed. i would start with exfoliating (gentle) followed by a pat dry and use a clearisil cleanser. I would ensure i consumed 8 full glasses of water a day. At least 1 piece of fruit and a multivitimin tablet. the bigest cause of acne for me was stressing about having acne a vicious cirlce you see so if you stick to this routine day in day out try very hard not to stress about it. consulting your doctor asap will take a weight of your mind as antibiotic creams and tablets will be supplied the use of these and my routine prevents both acne and blakheads from ruining your life.

I have severe blackhead problems at the back of my nearly bald head.I am 58 years old,any tips would be appreciated.I have tried everything that is on the market.

Hi guys! My name is Raegan and I had some SERIOUS acne! I had to go to a dermetologist to get it better and I’m only 14!! I have slight scarring from popping pimples AND blackheads so I ask you-do not pop your blackheads if they aren’t ready! If the ‘pus’ inside comes out easily enough, you’ll be fine. If you continue to pick and it won’t come out, you’ll end up with PERMANENT scarring when you could’ve had a TEMPERARY blackhead. Just keep that in mind. Also, I find that using tweezers in some stubborn blackheads that just won’t go away will help. It’s extremely gross, and you’ll want to clean your tweezers afterwords, but it helps.

For anybody with acne out there, the best thing to do is just WASH YOUR FACE A TON!!! And if you don’t wash your face and you are getting these blemishes, start washing. Keep clean-Keep your skin healthy.

I’m probably a bit old for this place BUT I’m 56 years old and I have not washed my face with any soap for about 40 years……ya 40 years……. I have on occasion used Dr. Bronners pepperment soap and I do use face masks and I scrub my face in the shower with a face cloth kinda hard but when I stopped with the regular soap in high school the black heads and stuff went away ………. severe acne is a different problem and needs anti viral creams and such……. but rubbing animal fats with stuff making them not smell like dead cows and pigs isn’t such a good idea………………………… best of luck in the future………………

Hey there! I have terrible blackheads (well I think they are) just below my belly button and around my shoulders. If these aren’t blackheads then I’m not sure what they are. They’re mainly hair folicles wanting to come out of the skin but don’t end up piercing the skin and stay end up growing just beneath the skin’s surface! This is totally annoying and ugly! How do I fix this problem? I do have an exfoliant but I’m sure whether or not I’m doing the right thing? Are you able to help me please? Your advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hey, for those poor souls who are subjected to yucky oainful Blackheads, I’m with you guys! It toatlly 100% sucks! But, I have been reading up on the subject on acne and blackheads. Here are some very vital and important tips to remove and to prevent those gross break outs (Please, keep in mind this really is for those who have blackheads). Okay, here are some tips I learned and I htink they will help. I’m not a doctor and I’m not posostive but I’m pretty sure they’ll work for you. If it’s some consolation, I’m doing it too and and i’m only 16, so. Here we go: First thing,is if you’re using bar soap, STOP!!! Bare soap is only causing skin cells to flake of prematurely and clogs pores(please, don’t murder me if i’m not right, but i’m almost posotive I’am). Skin exfoliation helps a heap! Try it. I use Clean & clear a lot and it does help too, so there’s one. Also a blackhead can be popped. But, there is a certain way it has to be popped otherwise you may damage the skin by scarring it and worsening the blackhead. Popping it may (I think) be the qiuckest way to get rid of them, because we all know blackheads are harder to get rid of then acne. So use a mild scrub to remive dead skin cells, next place slightly warm compress on face for about 10-15 minutes, this will soften the blackhead for removal. Next pat your face dry then place tissue on fingers to prevent slipping and tearing skin. Then, gently apply pressure(I know it’s gross, but bear with me!)to both sides of blackhead and oush up and down. Try once or Twice but no more then that if it does not pop. I also learned that keeping your hair in your face cause ioly skin and acne because hair is the carrier of bacteria. And most of, treat your skin kindly, be gentle and patient and eat good foods and lots of water! I hoped I helped some. Remember that I too am trying to get rid of blackheads. And I may not be 100% right but I’m at least 95% posotive! Happy blackhead hunting!!!!

Hey. I’ve been reading up on some different Blackhead removal and let me tell you something….I’m tired of it! I never get acne, but from what I learned today, a blackhead can lead up to acne. but anyway, I have really pale dry skin and sometimes (like most people) It gets really yucky and oily when I’m hot, like in the summer. I think winter is safer for your skin because the cold fresh air helps your pores (my own personal skin theory). Any who, I only seem to get blackheads right in the spot below my mouth, dead center. It’s so annoying and very disgusting to look at, so naturally I avoid mirrors and people when I break out. But worst of they hurt! Some one HELP ME STOP THE PAIN AND YUCK!!!! It’s driving me insane and it hurts. I can’t smile without it pulling at the skin around. I have nice skin and i only get one to two blackheads every so often but they keep coming and i’m strtaing to think they’re inevitable!

I use Oxy Face Wash, and it works very well. However, it can cause some dry skin, but not on all skin types.

I also suggest steaming your face before popping your blackheads or washing your face. The easiest way to do this is to boil some water, then put it in a pot. After that, put your face over the pot of water and put a towel over your head so the steam doesn’t escape as easily.

An even easier way of using the hot water method is to soak a hand towel in hot water and put it over your face, just make sure it’s not too hot or you could risk burning yourself.

Good luck with your blackheads!

My black heads are bad and I have oily skin. I have tried the strips and they don’t work that well or last long.I am using clean and clear scruber for my face and it works alot better but still doesn’t last for long. but I hope your tips help cause im gonna try them now.
