There are many posts in the community about how to get rid of blackheads, and I've tried a variety of methods myself. I've tried eczema gel, an ointment that's good for whiteheads, I've tried dissolving blackheads with cleansing oil, I've tried Lalafil probiotic peels at an aesthetician, and of course, I've tried nose packs.
Chemical peeling is said to be less irritating to remove blackheads, but I personally didn't find it very effective and felt like it made my skin more sensitive. I guess this is also a side effect.
So now I've settled on using a gommage type once a week. It helps get rid of blackheads by gently exfoliating dead skin cells rather than using a scrub, and it feels good because I can see the dead skin cells being removed. My skin definitely feels smoother after using it!
