What's the best acne medication for blackheads?
I have always had a black head issue on my chin and my nose. I can't get rid of it and I'm 26.
Anyone know a acne scrub, or anything that actually works for blackheads? To get rid of them for good?

Ok this is a remedy that ACTUALLY does work!
Put on lemon or lime (lime works best) and scrub it over your acne for AT LEAST 5 minutes. Then wash your face. You will see results in ONE DAY!!!
All your acne will go away in about a week!! I use it too! Also, at the end of the day, I use Neutrogina Face Wash, but you can also use normal soap.
Trust me!! This works!!
Also, no harm, no foul!

Retina A is the best but you’ll need a dr’s perscription
Neutrogena face washes also work really well

Find a lotion with salicylic acid. Salicylic acid will dissolve the oil inside the blackheads and whiteheads from the inside. They will be completely gone within a week if you apply it once a day.
Here is a good brand that is less than $10: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0013ER62M?ie=UTF8&tag=centisblebeau-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0013ER62M

You never get rid of blackheads "for good". You have to get rid of them,them maintain a regimen to minimize their recurrence. You have a few options that I’ve used- Pore Strips, Blackheadmask, and egg and toilet paper mask-Before you use any method, I would recommend that you STEAM your face first. Be careful though. Get a pot, fill it half way with hot water, get it to boil. SHUT OFF the stove, and place your face above the steam. Again, be careful. You can also get a towell, soak it in hot water, and cover your face with it. Just make sure it’s not hot enough to burn your skin.Then, do whatever treatment you want to do.
After the treatment/strip/mask- Rinse your face with COLD WATER, then close your pores with either 1.salicylic Acid, or 2. Benzoyl Peroxide/acne medication 3. Sulfur ( I use de la cruz 10% but it is very drying) 4. Tea Tree oil (I’m going to be trying this one soon) to kill the bacteria that causes them in the first place. Go to http://www.blackheadmask.com and click on tips, and you will see a tutorial for the toilet paper mask- Second video. You can also purchase the mask (20$) but shipping takes a couple of weeks, and the egg method is FREE and available to you now. Hope this helps. Good luck!!!
