HELPPP I NEED SOMETHING TO HELP WITH BLACKHEADS

I am in my teens and I have been struggling with blackheads and acne. I have tried pore clearing face masks, certain toners, and salicylic acid serums to help. Is there anything you recommend to help me!

Re: HELPPP I NEED SOMETHING TO HELP WITH BLACKHEADS

I have been using the Hero Blackhead toner for a while to help but it only got rid of the bumpy blackheads.

Re: HELPPP I NEED SOMETHING TO HELP WITH BLACKHEADS

@BEANSBEBE use a gentle liquid cleanser like FAB.

 

BHA is a must. Start with Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Exfoliating Toner for Clear Skin and go up from there.   I love the bha 9 from PC.

 

Use a clay mask...my fave is innisfree Super Volcanic Pore Detoxing Clay Mask with AHAs + Oil Control ​ 3.38 oz / 100 ml .

 

If your still struggling, try Differin.  There's an OTC but I think the Rx is better. 

 

If you need more help, ask a derm if youre a candidate for Retin-A. 

 

For spot treatments, use Persa-gel.  Target makes a knock off.

 

Let us know how it goes.

 

Oil blotting sheets are good when used regularly.  Target has good ones.

consistency is key with any routine. I would say try giving your products a month before seeing real results. Blackheads can be beyond annoying, but I would definitely recommend BHA’s. Sephora has some great selections! Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Exfoliating Toner for Clear Skin 1 oz / 30 ml

@BEANSBEBE have you used them consistently? most skincare takes at least a month to really show differences. What products have you tried? What's your current routine like?
