Here’s one thing anyone with a nose can agree on: Blackheads suck. No wonder why many people attempt to suck them straight out with the help of pore vacuums. Here, we’ll get a glimpse of this popular device.
What is a Pore Vacuum?
Pore Vacuum uses suction to extract sebum, dirt, and debris from the skin to remove blackheads. However, this is not a miracle device, as this is just a temporary solution to minimize pore congestion from excess oil and dead skin cell build-up.
Do they really work?
My answer is yes because acne is a multi-factorial issue. Blackheads and other pimples need topical medication to eliminate and control. So it would be best if you had a combination of the device and medication.
Are There Possible Side Effects of Using a Pore Vacuum?
Some users see redness instantly after using the device. However, Pore vacuums are generally safe to use, but be sure to use appropriate settings depending on your skin. As with any product, if you experience pain, stop using the tool right away.
Bottom line
Pore vacuums definitely dislodge debris but it’s not a once-and-done solution. Once you clear the pores, you’ll need to use the right combination of skincare products to keep them from getting re-clogged.
Pore vacuums are just one part of the equation. An effective blackhead-prevention regimen includes a retinoid plus a chemical exfoliator like glycolic or salicylic acid.
