Blackheads

Blackheads are a type of acne vulgaris. This is what I have read in Wikipedia. Click here to know details. This has been my major problem from aged 21 years old. I have read a lot about it on the Internet. How to banish the blackheads effectively? Below are some of the methods I tried.

1. Home remedies using lemon, honey, soda bicarbonate, oats.

2. Squeezed out the blackheads with a special tool. It made my nose red because of the pressure.

3. Suctioned by Panasonic Pore Cleanser. It is not helpful at all even your pores are opened.

4. Beauty products application. Garnier, Dermalogica, Bio Essence, Avalon Organic, Enfuselle Shaklee, Dior, New York Solutions and SKII. I forgot some of the product names.

5. Tons of vitamin and supplement: Evening Primrose, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Zinc and many more.

6. Exercised Conair Microdermabasion Facial System. It scalded my skin. I packed it back to the box. I am thinking about giving it to someone.

Nothing worked. They could not remove blackheads permanently. Blackhead stubborn creatures I have ever known. It is such a crazy war for me. I have spent so much money just to get rid it from my nose.

Last month I have ordered 2 Murad products from StrawberryNET.com at ebay.

1. Murad Pure Skin Clarifying Dietary Supplement

I have taken the supplement daily, two tablets for two weeks. After that I increased the intake to 3 tablets. However, it made me dizzy. I have decided to take 3 tablets for 1 or 2 days in a week only.

First and second week new pimples pop out. They were big pimples. I suppose this is a healing crisis symptom. Just be patient. The third week tiny winy pimples took over. Recently no more new pimples have appeared.

2. Exfoliating Acne Treatment Gel


I have applied 2 times a day the gel onto my nose after applying Pitera SKII. I put twice a day onto my pimples too.

Result: After four weeks the blackheads' amount slightly reduced. The frequency for squeezing out the blackheads is once a week. Alhamdulillah.

Action required: Maintain the usage. Buy Murad skin care after finish my SKII and Dior skin care.

I am still using SKII and Dior for skin care without any problems. However, I am quite positive the result will be improved if Murad skin care is being used together.

In my opinion, different people have different skin conditions. Some products work perfectly to others. Maybe on us they work differently. So try an error. Understand your skin is the best solution.
