Blackheads are a type of acne (also called open comedones) and appear when pores are filled with oil and dead skin cells oxidized by the air. Although it is recommended that they should be removed, pinching or squeezing them is not the best option.
There are professional procedures to clean pores but the at-home alternative tool is a blackhead vacuum. This device will use a mild suction to extract the unwanted content from pores.
The Alin & Alan Blackhead Remover Vacuum Pore Cleaner is a trendy tool among the beauty community as it has a simple design that makes it easy to alternate between five degrees of vacuuming power. It also comes with four different probe attachments of varying sizes, including a small one to use on hard-to-reach areas, like the sides of the nose.
Another interesting option is the Lenovo Blackhead Remover Pore Vacuum Extractor which combines the vacuum extractor with blue LED lights that are known to combat acne-causing bacteria and reduce redness. It also comes with different attachable probes to reach all face regions.
The PMD Personal Microderm Classic can be pricey but includes patented spinning disks with varying levels of suction that proves to be handy to extract all the impurities inside the pores. As it will perform an exfoliation on the skin surface, there is also an improvement in the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and blemishes.
The results are promising but the blackhead vacuums should be used with caution and once a week only, as when overused, it can lead to skin traumas like scabbing and discoloration. Furthermore, it is recommended to use the device with humid skin, as it will loosen the pores, making it easier to clean the skin properly.
