Are there any blackhead home remedies?
Unfortunately there is no home remedy for blackheads. The only ingredient at this time that can actually help to reduce blackheads is salicylic acid (aka Beta Hydroxy Acid (BHA)). A few good products that contain an effective amount of salicylic to actually help with black heads is Neutrogena’s Oil-Free Stress Control 3-in1-1 Hydrating Acne treatment or ProActiv Solution Clarifying Night Cream. Both contain 1% Salicylic Acid at an effective PH of 3.6. The ProActiv Solution one also contains retinol which can also help blemishes. If you wash your face twice daily (morning and night) with a mild liquid face soap (Neutrogena Fresh Foaming Cleanser is a good cost effective one or Clinique Liquid Facial Soap Extra Mild) tone and then use any of these BHA products you should notice a reduction of blackheads. Very stubborn blackheads may need to be gently extracted. This can be done by an expert or if you are very careful you can do it yourself. If you want more detailed advice send me a line
