Blackheads,

I propper have lots of blackheads on my face, ive tried like everything to get rid of them any ideas how?

squeeze them hard

no dont squeeze them, you might get scars

Get some spot cream and moisturiser. Or steam your face to open your pores.

Don't squeeze spots. ESPECIALLY blackheads - it will get you nowhere. The fact that you get a lot of blackheads suggests to me you are of the oily skin type, rather than dry or combination. Therefore I would suggest buying cleansing exfoliator which will help to open your pores and remove the blackheads. It's also important to replace the moisture with a moisturiser after using an exfoliator. Make sure it is a non-greasy moisturiser preferably without alcohol content. You should use the exfoliator two - three times a week and the moisturiser daily. Stick to this routine and I expect you will see an improvement :).

god all that for the last years i just squeeze and in seconds its gone and i just wash it and put creme on it. its only bad if u just pop it and leave it

Use Biore, you can buy the stuff at Boots or online.
http://www.biore.co.uk/61.asp < those nose strips are proper good fun, they pull the blackheads out.

You could always try waxing your blackheads out too, though it's never given me any results

I either pop them, which you're not meant to do, which clears the pore but leaves a small brown mark not unlike a freckle. The brown mark will go away and I tend to find that I'd rather have a random freckle than a blackhead which takes ages to go away.
Or exfoliating which also helps and it costs less than some random cream or gel or whatever from a shop. Get yourself a sponge with a rough side, you can get them in Tesco or what have you. Wash your face with hot water and run the sponge under the hot water. Then just scrub your face with the sponge (rough side) all over, quite roughly but not too much obviously. I normally find my face looks a wee bit red after I do it from the abrasion against the skin but your skin will feel perfectly smooth and soft as well as having the blackheads reduced. If you don't want to buy a special sponge cause you're not a real man, just use a towel. :)

peel off mask would work effectively. check this article on Shiseido Black Mask.

Biore strips are the best thing to remove blackheads - just wash your face with hot water before you use them to open your pores.

Sudocrem, my brother was covered in them, it's an antiseptic cream, it cleans it out properly, and now he has next to none. I don't think pore strips ever work, they never grab on to them properly.

Yup, it takes ages to sink in and it's really greasy, but most people don't have greasy skin, they think they do cause they use products for it and cause they've dried out their skin it produces more sebum and makes it even worse, so really if anyone thinks they're sorting out the oil by using like a really strong toner or something, they're actually ruining their skin. All that extra oil is what causes blackheads, dirt and oil. So my advice for blackheads is using sudocrem before bed, and make sure you always moisturise, and cleanse with something soft - Clarins Cleaning Milk with Alpine Herb is really good, and last ages - and don't exfoliate more than twice a week.

i suffer with bad blackheads on my nose. i use that stuff advertised on the tv but its not working to well. have you seen them nose strips there really good. you put on the sticky strip wet it really wet and then leave it to dry. i reccomend them. the slower you peel it off the more come of.

Isotretinoin ;D

It'll dry out our skin so much all the dirt in your pores will disintegrate.

You'll need a doctor if you want that.

I usually stick a pin into them or this tried once
After washing your face get a pen and take it apart and get the thing that has a little hole on it, put the blackhead under the pen where the hole is and twist it, it got mine off
