Removing blackheads requires a combination of methods, including: Maintaining skin cleanliness is crucial. Use a suitable facial cleanser to thoroughly clean the face and remove excess oil and dirt. Exfoliating products can also be used to help remove dead skin cells within pores and prevent pore blockage. In addition, using acne treatment products containing ingredients such as salicylic acid or fruit acid can effectively dissolve blackheads and prevent their recurrence. For stubborn blackheads, pore strips or professional comedone extraction solutions may be considered, but attention should be paid to usage frequency and follow-up skincare to avoid over-stimulating the skin. Maintaining healthy lifestyle habits, such as balanced diet, adequate sleep, and stress reduction, can also help minimize the occurrence of blackheads.
