How To Get Rid Of Blackheads

Getting rid of blackheads is relatively easy, however conventional treatments of pore strips, scrubs and facials will not work, except to temporarily extract the contents. Blackheads are caused from a build up of sebum (oil) in the skin pores and blockage of the pore with exfoliated dead skin cells. Being open to air, the sebum and clogged material oxidise and turns dark. Hence the term blackhead.

Blackhead are clogged pores and treatment of blackheads involves exfoliation of pore contents.

Why Conventional Treatments Do Not Get Rid Of Blackheads.

Pore strips can only empty the pore temporarily. Because they do nothing to exfoliate or stabilise the pore lining the blackhead will accumulate again very quickly.

Extracting the contents with facials also only help temporarily

Scrubs only work on the surface and have no hope of cleaning out the pore: these are useless.

Salicylic Acid Exfoliates The Pore

BHA (beta hydroxy acid) or Salicylic Acid is the only product that will penetrate the oil in the oil gland and exfoliate the contents and pore lining. Because it progressively exfoliates and empties the pore, the pore is able to shrink and become more refined.

Salicylic acid products needs to be concentration of 1-2% in ph approximately 3. Very few products even if they say they contain salicylic acid will be of sufficient concentration or at appropriate ph to work.

We sell a very good BHA gel.

We sell a very good Salicylic acid gel: Cost $36, 2% concerntration and correct ph. Research has shown that appropriate BHA Gels will start to work within hours of putting on skin. They can be applied once or twice daily and progressively will clear and refine pores over coming weeks and months. It is safe to use long term as part of skin routine.

In early stages if you want a really speedy clearance of blackheads combine the salicylic acid gel with microdermabrasion. SIMPLE.
