Blackheads form when pores become clogged with oil and dead skin, then oxidise on the surface (giving them that characteristic dark appearance).
Common on the nose, chin, and forehead, blackheads are a type of non-inflammatory acne that’s stubborn — but treatable.

Steps you can take at home
- Avoid squeezing — it can cause inflammation & scarring. We can do extractions in the clinic for you (safely!)
- Stay consistent with SPF — sun exposure can thicken the skin and trap more debris.
- Use mineral makeup to avoid clogged pores — we love Jane Iredale.
- AHAs are great at home — Cosmedix Define is our top pick.
