Acne treatment no Rx: Acne can be prevented or minimized by using a gentle cleanser twice daily, over the counter benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid products followed by a noncomedogenic moisturizer such as Cetaphil.

See a dermatologist: Blackheads are not dirt. They are open comedones: plugged oil glands open to air which oxidizes the sebum in them. They can be mechanically expelled. Tretinoin and adapalene (retinoids) can be tricky to use but are very effective to reduce comedones.
