I have been wanting this device for years. I always read about how great this device is in magazines, internet articles and other blog reviews.
One time, I went to Sephora and got a demo of how this works. The Sephora associate scrub the back of my hand and used a glycolic cleanser together with it. After the cleansing, I got

Pimple Treatment: Neosporin Antibiotic Ointment

Since Benzoyl Peroxide is the most effective pimple treatment, I really had a hard time finding a zit cream for me.
I came to accept what my mom has been telling me the whole time. To just dab my pimples with an antibiotic ointment. Well, since pimples are infections, antibiotic will heal it.
I use Neosporin Original First Aid Antibiotic Ointment.
. Then, I'd go to sleep. Most of the time, the next morning when I wake up, it usually brings the pimple to a head. Sometimes, it even gets pop by itself. If it didn't brought the head out yet, don't worry. Just repeat the process every night until it comes out. Continue applying the ointment until it's completely healed.I highly recommend this to those of you who, like me, get those huge sore cystic acne. Benzoyl peroxide doesn't actually heal cystic acnes since those kind of acne grows from the inside. Applying benzoyl peroxide on it will only dry out the skin, while the pimple is safely hidden underneath. Antibiotic ointments gets absorbed in which eventually heal it or brings it to a head.
Quite disgusting to read about it here but it's effective.
Dr. Jart All Out Black Head

Searching for Asian blackhead treatments on the web, I found out that aside from nose strips, another popular treatment are these creams, balms or serums that say to push the blackheads out of the pores upon application or they'd dissolve the blackhead in your pores.. They sound too good to be true so I wanted to test it out.
I got Dr. Jart+ All Out Black Head.
Here's the description and instruction from the back of the box...
It says it "dissolves" the blackheads and whiteheads.
After rinsing this out of my nose, I really didn't notice anything different. It just made my skin softer. I was really disappointed that nothing really happened to the blackheads.
Kose Softymo Nose Clean Pack

Here's an Asian brand blackhead nose strip - Kose Softymo Nose Clean Pack. This is a nose pore strip that'll strip blackheads off the nose. The funny description of this product says, "Kose Cosmeport Softymo Nose Clean Pack removes all dirt, impurities and blackheads from pore with no mercy." Take note on the "no mercy" part. Kose is a Japanese brand, by the way.
Once it hardens, the exciting part comes! You can now peel it off.
Since it's black, it's easier for you to see the blackheads and oil stuck onto the strip.
As of any pore strip, I prefer using this after a warm bath. It's when our pores open up. I also use a facial mask before using a pore strip. The face mask helps soften up my skin which makes it better in using a pore strip.
