I just have a cheapy one that my mom bought me, but it does make a difference to the appearance of my pores. I'm currently thinking of saving up for a Clarisonic to step the cleaning up another notch. What I’ve found that helps with my nose blackheads is my electric facial brush.

I went to Taiwan for a month in the summer where the weather was really humid and I sweated like mad since it's so humid and hot. Day in and Day out. By the end of the month my skin had no little bumps or blackheads and it was nice and smooth like a baby's bum. I came back to North America and the nice skin went back to having little bumps and blackheads (and acne). Now, I couldn't conclude really what factor it was that helped with clearing my pores, although I knew that sweating was a large part of it but then it was also an entirely different country, with different sources of water and water filters, different food diet etc etc and so forth. I don't know if it's a combination of all or not, but then my friend got me into hot yoga, where you sweat and workout in 90 minutes. Doing that 3 times a week has greatly reduced my pore size and blackheads. My nose doesn't feel bumpy anymore (the blackheads that must be sticking out I guess). So the moral of the story here is that I greatly believe that the strongest defense to blackheads is sweating profusely. It kinda makes sense, I mean all the sweat that pours out from the pores must also be pushing out the sebum and dead skin cells in the pores. And the great thing is that every pore sweats (so no extraction of blackheads one by one). OH and the pore sizes stay minimized for a couple of days (which keeps me doing yoga regularly, lol). I highly recommend inducing sweat one way or another regularly (sauna, steambath, face over a bowl of hot water, excercise.. anything that works for you although hot yoga is a nice option since it's also healthy) Hello,

Thats what Ive read before anyways. apparently sacilic acid is a BHA and is fat soluble which is different from AHA which are water soluble. thats why its good for those that have clogged pores and black heads because it works with ones facial oils to clear the skin.

I'm wondering why that cleanser works better than others that contain 2% salicylic acid (the only active ingredient in the cleanser). I've used several different products with 2% salicylic acid, but none of them have worked on my blackheads at all! I'm glad it's working for you!!! Aquafina,

Today, I've just tried a product called "Clearskin Blackhead Clearing Cleanser" from AVON. I've bought it months ago thinking it's the same as the other cleanser on the market, so I didn't think of using it anytime soon. I've been looking for a product to treat blackheads for a while, but none of them ever work. I just happened to remember it the other day and gave it a try today. I've used ONCE so far, and for the first time EVER, a product does what it actually it would do! I'm ecstatic! Anyways, I just wanted to share that with those looking for a product to try. ^_^ I've been on the Avon Web site but didn't find the EXACT product that I have. :( I did find something though, "Clearskin® Purifying Astringent Blackhead Clearing Formula". It doesn't look like the product I have, which has a structure like a tube of lotion, but I'm sure it'll work the same. http://shop.avon.com/shop/product.asp?pf_id=6538&from=search&find_spec=blackhead%20clearing%20cleanser&camp=200803&dir_delivery=1&rep_delivery=1 Best of luck!

They do work right then and there, but of course as the week progresses, you'll have dirt build up in your pores and the blackheads return. You would have to use the pore strips once a week if your blackheads are really abundant or just use it whenever you see a lot of blackheads. I wonder how models & celebrities keep their faces so flawless. >_<I> I have tried the Biore Deep Cleansing Pore Strips.
