Owning the best blackhead remover could be your skin's answer to less impurities and smaller pores – sign us up!

Blackheads. Everyone has ‘em - yep, even those with the smoothest and most blemish-free skin. We’re all guilty of a cheeky squeeze of our pores now and again to see what comes out (if you don’t, you’re lying), but the problem arises when there are more than a few. What do you do when your usual skincare routine doesn’t seem to be helping? Invest in the best blackhead remover, of course.

No, we don’t mean those scary blackhead vacuum tools you’ve seen all over TikTok lately - though if you do want one of those, we recommend this one from Amazon - we’re talking about actual blackhead products that help remove the impurities and prevent them from returning. Sound like something you need? Same.

Alongside washing your face with the best cleanser (and using your fave facial cleansing brush of course), a blackhead remover is going to ensure not a single impurity is missed. Think of it as the step between cleaning your face and smothering yourself with toner, face serum and moisturiser. A lengthier self-care routine? Yes please.

What is the best way to remove deep blackheads?

If you’ve ever experienced one of those blackheads that’s in an awkward position (AKA not squeezable) or that’s been there for a while and is less easy to manipulate into budging, then the best thing to do is steam your face. A good ol’ whack of warm, wet air will open up your pores and soften - for want of a better word - the blackhead making it easier to remove. Once you’ve steamed your face, use an extractor tool (NEVER your fingernails) and exfoliate.
