I have blackheads on my nose only and i dont know what to do. I dont really get pimples that bad or often and make-up covers it up but i dont want to have to wear it to feel like my skin is pretty. What products have worked for you and will possibly help me?

Blackheads can happen to anyone, no matter what your skin type. Blackheads are caused by oil in your skin that gets caught and expands in the pores. Oxidizing from exposure to the air, the oil actually turns black.
what works for some people might not work for everyone but here are some things that you can consider.~
First, stop the problem before it starts. Use noncomedogenic, oil-free, water-based skin-care products. (Noncomedogenic means the products were laboratory tested and approved by the FDA not to clog pores and cause blackheads.)
If you change your skin-care routine and still get blackheads, speak to a dermatologist about getting a prescription for Retin-A, which is a strong exfoliant that opens pores, sloughs off dead skin and cleans out blackheads.
If all else fails, a dermatologic facial performed at a dermatologist's office involves a prescription-strength acid that gets rid of dead layers of skin and the use of surgical instruments to extract the blackheads.
Blackheads are a problem that should be treated by a dermatologist. But, if you want to try an over-the-counter product, a lot of people rave about Biore Pore Perfect Strips, which are supposed to lift out blackheads on your nose, forehead and chin.
Hope this helps~

I don't know about fast, but I use ProActive and that got rid of my blackheads on my nose. I've been using it for a while thought.

I forgot what it was called but it's these pads that you get wet and stick to your nose and they harden like a cast type thing and you leave it on until it gets hard and then remove it and after about 1 week or 2 they should be cleared.

I would buy "Clean & Clear blackhead clearing scrub" It's like 4 or 5 bucks. If you use it consistantly it works wonders!
