"Blackheads are a combination of oils, sebum and cellular fragments that produce firm to hard plugs within hair follicles. Blackheads are open to the skin's surface and become darkened at the surface by exposure to oxygen (oxidation).
Blackheads are promoted by excessive cellular exfoliation, which quickly clog or block the follicles. Some skin specialists believe individuals with frequent and multiple blackheads and/or whiteheads produce sebum that is drier than normal and conducive to forming firm plugs. Sebum contributes to skin oils and people with dry sebum may have dry skin and this may be especially true in the affected areas and when whiteheads are also present, but people with oily skin can also produce dry sebum which promotes plugs.
The sebaceous glands normally produce sebum with linoleic acid, an essential fatty acid. This type of sebum has a liquid viscosity. It is calming to the skin and does not promote follicular irritation that leads to plugs. When linoleic acid is not available, the sebaceous glands produce sebum with oleic acid. This oleic form of sebum is irritating to the skin and promotes plugs. Oleic sebum is much firmer than linoleic sebum and is prone to producing hard plugs rather than flowing out of the follicle. This causes blackheads and whiteheads and both of these conditions may lead to acne infections."
I would reccomend you the BION blackhead dissolver..
"BiON's Blackhead/Whitehead Controller dissolves blackheads in about three weeks. It is a very unique product, made from natural plant extracts (25% of today's pharmaceutical drugs are still derived directly from plant extracts and another 20% are synthetic copies of plant extracts). The B/W Controller contains extracts that reduce excessive cellular production and shrink tissues to keep follicles open."

You can buy Clean&Clear Blackhead removal. It's this strip that you put on your skin, leave it for 10-15 minutes and then just rip it off. It's quite effective. Or.. do it yourself at home. Here's how: Boil water in a pot. As it's boiling, put your face 1 foot over the pot so the steam is reaching your face (this opens up the backheads).. then scrub with exfoliant (this removes them).. then chill your face with ice and cold water (this closes the blackheads). My mom is cosmetologist. Good luck!

Steam your face then use 2 Q-tips to push them out. Do not use your nails or hard objects as they will make your pores bigger and more susceptible to getting blackheads again.
Follow with a toner to close your pores.
Use oil free moisturizers and face make up and non comedogenic products that don't clog pores.
Don't wear makeup to bed.

I tried a scrub from Avon...I think its called "blackhead clearing scrub" or something like that. It works and makes your skin feel very clean and tingly. Plus, I believe its less than $10. I also like Clean and Clear's "dual action moisturizer." It keeps your skin from drying out and clears blackheads!

I use this tool from sephora (link below) and it always does the trick for me! After I pop the zit, I just douse it with rubbing alcohol so it doesn't come back. Good luck!
