Default Would somebody please tell me how to get rid of blackheads?

I have sooo many of them. It's like every pore on the T zone area of my face! Nothing I've tried works, not even those strips. Please HELP!

I really loved DDF Pumice Acne Scrub, but at $32 a bottle, Its not something you get all the time, my skin seemed to be always flawless with that cleanser. Im using murad at the moment.

I am African American and I had them in a horrible way cheeks, chin. The only thing from walgreens, to deramtologist to prescriptions that I have found to work very quickly is ProActive! It is no joke.

Thanks for the replies everyone!

Pinkdiamonds: so, proactiv worked well for me a few years back and a couple months ago I tried it again and it dried my skin out so bad it felt like I couldn't smile without my face cracking! I don't understand it! I used it for about a year once with no problem. I even tried only using the lotion once every other day. I'm glad that it's working for you though, and thank you for the tip either way!

So I guess I'll try making them go away with my fingers....I'm skeptical, but I'll try it. If that doesn't do the trick then perhaps I'll try the scrub that loveofthesun suggested. I'd be willing to pay the $$$ to get rid of them.

Thanks again! I hope you all are having happy holidays!

I do what acneXpert suggests and it really does help. I also use urine on my face. Check out this thread: Pee Pals! acne + urine= perfect complexion?

I noticed you say you take saw palmetto. Does that help with your testosterone levels? I take met and cinnamon but I need my testosteron to go low for my doctor to give me fertility treatments. Can you take that while ttc? Thanks in advance....sorry off topic
