Question 1

what is the best thing i can get that's over the counter, for blackheads?

Accepted Answer

Phisoderm: Use an antibacterial "scrubbing" soap like Phisoderm and keep your skin as "clean" as possible. There are OTC "methods" for blackhead removal and if directions are followed they are safe. Anti-acne meds are sometimes helpful particularly the anti-acne Soap preparations. Your enemy is OIL so a healthy diet is also considered very important by many Dermatologists;

Hope this helps
