Are there any painless remedies for blackheads?

Not bad...: Wash face w gentle cleanser 2x/day ; use oil free products. No oily hair or heavy foundations. Exfoliate occasionally. Try not to pop pimples. Avoid touching face (cradling chin in hands). Remove makeup before bed. Shower after strenuous exercise. Consider otc products (salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide). If > mild acne see dermatology (discuss meds, comedone extractor, pore strips, etc.).

Tretinoin: Tretinoin (retin a) or adepalene cream or gel, usually by prescription. Everybody squeezes their blackheads, don't worry about it. A good "facial" includes meticulous removal of blackheads. They are not dirt, but are plugs of skin oil (comedones) which are open to air which oxydizes the sebum to a dark color. After squeezing, clean off the mirror. A hot shower ; use of salycilic acid will also he.
