I'm thinking of using them, and wondering if they're painful? Or just a little, or what? And approximately how much do they cost? Thanks! :)Do the biore blackhead strips hurt?
I think they run about $6-9 depending where you go (online, cvs, grocery stores) for a box of 12.
They don't hurt much. It feels like taking off a band aid. I actually use elmer's glue. I put a thin layer on my nose, wait for it to dry and I peel it off. It more stuff than the strips. I like the peeling part, I find it fun. And for the price, and the large amount, a bottle of the glue lasts me a year.
Try to use it twice a week, with 3 days intervals. :)Do the biore blackhead strips hurt?
no,they don't. :)
they hurt a little tiny bit at first but then its all fine after.they cost about 11.00 or so .It depends.
I used on once. They don't hurt at all
they don't really hurt much, about like pulling off a band-aid. I've never had much luck with them though. I use clean and clear blackhead clearing scrub and that seems to work the best for me. good luck!

Whats the best home remedy for blackhead removal that doesn't scar?
i have a cousin who really needs a good answerWhats the best home remedy for blackhead removal that doesn't scar?
There's a face masque by St. Helen -- the Mint Julep one -- that works very well.
Also, remind her to drink lots of water, and make sure she's getting enough antioxidants -- Vitmains A,C, and E -- in her diet, and not just in her vitamin.
Tell her to make sure that all of her makeup says ';anti-comeodogenic'; Which means that it won't clog your pores.
Also, tell her that she should try to not wear makeup, make her pillowcase as clean as possible, moisturize, and not to use harsh chemicals. Tell her to consider just washing her face with olive oil soap - as it won't be too harsh on her face.
Use Steam, but carefully. Sometimes opening up your pores just spreads the bacteria around.Whats the best home remedy for blackhead removal that doesn't scar?
steam. like in a sauna or the like. it worked for me
A little hot water on a towel and gently scrub them away. Be careful, because if you scrub to hard it can leave a nasty bruse. But other then that it really works, my cousin does that.
Take a wash cloth and and hot water to your handling. Wash your face with Dove soap.Then wipe off with hot wash cloth and then pat your face with rag to open your pores.Take a bowl and put ice in and a little vodka and scoop it in your hand and pat all over your face.Then wash off with cold water pat face dry with clean towel.do this for at least three days.(Hot to open your pores to clean and clear and cold to close to leave clean and dry.
They make a blackhead remover that's a little metal tool with one hole in either end of it. You place it over the black head and press and the black head comes out. The idea is if you apply even pressure on all sides, the oil deposit comes out. Hope that helps.

Why EveryTime U Pop A Blackhead Or A Bump On Your Face, It Has A Foul Smell?
It's because of all the dirts and oils that are in your skin.Why EveryTime U Pop A Blackhead Or A Bump On Your Face, It Has A Foul Smell?
Usually foul smells are either associated with filth or infection or rot. I'm assuming your face isn't gangrenous or falling off.. and I'm assuming that it's not possible to shove enough filth into your pores that you could actually smell whatever you express from them.. So I'm guessing that maybe you have a problem with infection in your pimples. More than the normal. I'd suggest seeing a dermatologist. If your acne has problems like that you might need a prescription or a medicated face scrub to get rid of it.Why EveryTime U Pop A Blackhead Or A Bump On Your Face, It Has A Foul Smell?
I think you need to see a doctor hunnie I have never had a foul odor come off my face after popping a black head.
It's bacteria
Eww... you must be dirty. I've never had a foul smell from a backhead or pimple.
have you tried soap every once in a while????

you need to clean yourself better

Any solutions for acne and blackhead problems?
that could work in a few daysAny solutions for acne and blackhead problems?
To get rid of acne. Try a gentle cleanser. One that is glycerin or sorbitol based will be good and it does not need to be expensive. Cetaphil and Neutrogena has some pretty good ones. Try Cetaphil庐 Gentle Skin Cleanser.
Proactiv works for some people it clears up for a while but acne may come back. It is also very harsh on your skin and may dry it all up, definitely not for people with sensitive skin. My friend said it corroded and bleached her metal sink so if it can do that to the sink, think of what it is doing to your face. So Proactiv is a no no.
Wash your face at least twice a day and everytime after you perspire. If your skin is the oily kind, you do not need to apply any moisturizer, your skin oils are enough to keep it hydrated. If you really must apply a gentle light oil free one. Cetaphil庐 Daily Facial Moisturizer SPF 15 or Cetaphil庐 Moisturizing Lotion is quite good
Apply pimple cream to the acne area. Try benzoyl peroxide low strength(2.5%) first. Don't pick poke scrub or pop your pimples unless you want scars which are really ugly. Scrubbing cleansers or washes are also no-nos because it equals picking and poking and makes acne worse Treated pimples gently.
To get rid of blackheads. Try steaming your face over a pot of boiling water. The steam will open up the pores making it easier for exfoliation. However be careful not to oversteam or you will burn your face.
Exfoliation goes a long way. Try st ive's blemish and blackhead control apricot scrub at least once a week. Use it on the nose and areas with blackheads. DO NOT use them on areas with acne as the scrub is pretty harsh and may scratch or hurt the acne area making it worse.
Another way could be buying a comeodone spoon. One of those metal sticks with a loophole at the end at any beauty store. After steaming your face, use it to press gently on your nose to tweeze out those blackheads.
Eat healthy. Make sure you drink plenty of water. Cut down on sugar and carb intake. Foods like chocolates, coffee, soda drinks, bread, rice potatoes or anything starchy and sugary are no-nos. Cut down on oily and fried foods also. Go for grilled, steamed or baked food. Make sure you eat lots of fruits and vegetables. Ensure that your diet is rich in vitamin A, C, E and Omega-3 which are important for the skin. Less stress and sleeping enough is also important. Not having enough sleep is like putting stress on your body. Makes sure you sleep at least 8 hours a day.
If you are a smoker. Try to quit. Smoking causes a lot of damage to your skin because it introduces toxins to it. These toxins can clog the pores or make the skin harder to breathe and that鈥檚 when the acne bacteria set in. The toxins also cause longer healing of the acne as well as the marks and scars left behind by acne.
If all else fails and your acne is still very bad, it is time to see a dermatologist. The pills and medications do work but you may have to take them long term to suppress the acne as it is not a cure and acne is a chronic disease. However the pills are not miracles and you won鈥檛 see results in 2-3 days. It normally takes about 2 weeks to see the difference. However not all dermatologists prescribe pills unless your acne is really bad. The pills will include antibiotics, accutane and contraceptives. If your acne isn鈥檛 that bad, dermatologists will prescribe topical creams first. If you are really going to a dermatologist, I suggest asking about a product known as Retin-A that treats acne and acne marks and heals the scars.Any solutions for acne and blackhead problems?
Depends on the degree of acne. If mild-apply Benzoyl Peroxide 5%, Moderate to severe: topical antibiotics like Clindamycin or Erythromycin will dry up your acne in 2-3 days. You can get these over-the-counter.
Use a toner with salicylic acid for your blackheads, and a glycolic acid soap for oily skin. Do not forget to moisturize.

I've answered several Acne questions and it pains me to see so many people having similar problems. I tried Proactiv, it made my skin break out worse because of my sensitive skin. I had acne through puberty and an additional 10 years after - which I later discovered was hormone related. I had been to a few dermatologists but they just wanted to dry my skin up to the point it was flakey all the time or red with rashes. I did a lot of online research and tested many many products of my own, I can tell you that there is no pill or cream out there that you can use overnight or for a week and it will forever get rid of your outbreaks.
I finally discovered something that I believe has not been widely publicized because no company can patent it and make lots and lots of money off of people like you and me. It's called Pantothenic Acid - a fancy name for Vitamin B5. Go ahead and Google it...you will see a lot of references to curing acne. I was skeptical as with everything, but my skin has never been so soft and clear since I was probably 12 (I'm 26 now).
The one thing you have to remember when taking this vitamin supplement is that you must take it in high doses. You can buy it at any vitamin store, but only buy it in 1000mg (1gm) per pill strength. I found it online the cheapest.
To start, the recommended program starts you out with 3-5 grams a day for about 5 days. This helps your body get acclimated to the vitamin. You should start to notice a difference after 2 or 3 days, smaller pours, healed blemishes, and I even noticed increased energy. After 5 days increase your dosage to 10 grams a day. I know it sounds like a lot, to take 10 pills a day, but think about how much you want clear skin and that should get you past it. The recommended program has you taking 10 grams for 3 months before backing off to 3-5 for maintenance. I actually only took 10 grams for a month and now am just maintaining with 5-6 grams a day and its working just fine. I did miss a day of pills and immediately started to breakout again so this is one of those things you must be faithful with.
Expect to shell out about $25 a month on 1000mg Pantothenic Acid. A small, small price to pay when you think of all the money wasted on the products out there.
There are very little negative side effects. The only thing I would recommend is to take 3 pills with each meal, and one with a snack, otherwise you may get a little gas or slight diahrea. Nothing major though and by taking with meals it eliminates that problem.
If I help just one person with this recommendation, writing this would have been more than worth it. I know how frustrating it is to have acne, but it doesn't have to be for any one else out there who trys this simple yet effective treatment.
clearasil products are good...but so you won't get black heads and reduce your acne try do use a daily face wash...and moisterize...it has helped me

My Dog Has A Blackhead Pimple?
My ';Sheltie';, has a pimple on her rear to the right. I noticed it 3 weeks ago whe I went to pet her. It's real small and I can see it when I seperate her hair because she has a lot of hair hiding it. It doesn't appear to be puss filled or getting any bigger. Any suggestions? P.S. I do use ';Frontline Top Spot'; for fleas and ticks. Could it be a bite?My Dog Has A Blackhead Pimple?
not likely a pimple... probably a small skin lesion.. Dont press it or mess with it at all. If it grows, gets filled or anything take her in to the vet to have it checked. if its right on her bum it could be a swollen anal glad. Just keep it clean and an eye on it.My Dog Has A Blackhead Pimple?

Pimple Or a Blackhead im concerned what comes out of it.?
i got this area on my cheek blackheads, pimples i don't know
when i pop it it comes out this dot which looks abit like a sesame seed
:S can someone tell me what this is? and at the tip of the sesame seed look alike its blackPimple Or a Blackhead im concerned what comes out of it.?
Its a blackhead.
Best solution.
Cleanse (I suggest Clarins cleansing milk) tone and moisturise twice a day and swap a standard cleanser to exfoliate 2 -3 times a week.
will work brilliantly and you will see results in a couple of weeks
Hope this helps,
SugarplumPimple Or a Blackhead im concerned what comes out of it.?
its a black head, you need to clean you face and pours thouroughly steaming your face works very well( pour boiling hot water into a large bowl and with a towel over the back of your head put your face closer to the water like a steam room then after 5 miins use a cold flannel wipe your face down) This opens up your pours and allows them to be cleaned
its a black head, and the stuff that comes out of it is probably dried sebum (oil) and dirt :)
best way to get rid of them is to use clearasil sea salt scrub :)
it works really well. :)
hope i helped :)
