Blackhead treatments: The most effective treatment for blackheads is a prescription retinoid, including retin a (tretinoin) or differin. Over-the-counter treatments are available including retinol, but are usually not as effective. Other treatments that help, to a small degree, unclog pores include: salicylic acid, glycolic acid, and benzoyl peroxide.
