I know everyone’s joking about r/popping but seriously some zits need to be lanced.

  1. Pierce top with a lancet.

  2. Squeeze junk out (preferably with the looped wire extractor).

  3. Apply salicylic acid (wipe with a Stridex pad).

  4. Apply a hydrocolloid bandage (Nexcare Acne Cover, or cut to size Dynarex Dressing).
u/ElectroNeutrino · 48 pointsr/popping

Are you trying to squeeze them out with your fingernails? Because that will be pretty difficult. Either use a blackhead extractor or in a pinch, the curved end of a bobby-pin.

u/softawre · 35 pointsr/explainlikeimfive
u/prattastic · 27 pointsr/popping

Too many people here from /r/all who don't know what a comedone extractor is.

u/crawld · 18 pointsr/WTF

They are only a few bucks at Wal-Mart.

You too can have one!

EDIT: Here is one for 6$ from Amazon

u/xtwistedxlovex · 18 pointsr/LifeProTips

I use something like this - not the pointed end, and never drag it across the skin - with good results. Just position the loop with the blackhead in the center and gently push toward the skin. If the head doesn't come out, don't force it.

u/[deleted] · 14 pointsr/SkincareAddiction

I used to pop with my fingers, but sometimes would struggle to pop and bruise my skin around the cyst.

Got some hoop tools other week and been a firm convert. Pop so easily now.

Eg: https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/Beauty/Simply-Gorgeous-Design-Blackhead-Remover-Comedone-Extractor/B006Z96OI2

I didn't get that exact one, but similar.

u/Ensvey · 12 pointsr/answers

That's all well and good, but how about something like this, which I recently bought (don't judge me)? 82 cents with free shipping, from hong kong to the eastern US... does not compute...

u/kuniklo · 10 pointsr/popping

You can pick up a blackhead extractor at Wal-Mart. It looks like this: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0017KCPU0

It will be cleaner and not as forceful as using fingers.

Clean your face thoroughly before and after popping.

I fell in love with this tool the first time I used it. The smaller end is what I use. Also you might want to brush your tongue when you brush your teeth and gargle your mouthwash it will help the stones from building up to fast.

A Tweezerman No-Slip Skin Care Tool

Coming from a guy, this is the greatest tool know to my bathroom drawer. It will pop any pimple, black head, white head, ingrown hair. Its awesome.

Also, I realize I am late to the party, so nobody will ever read this. Have Nice Day if you did though.

u/Canoodlerstar · 8 pointsr/trypophobia

You know that tool that doctors use that has a small hole in the center? It has a handle, and the doctor takes it and pushes it into things like these, and sometimes large blackheads to get the dirt to surface more.

I want to use that tool SOOO bad on this guy. but then id throw up


Edit: I guess theyre just called Blackhead Removal Tools

u/beans_seems_and_bees · 8 pointsr/popping

I use this comedone extractor kit, and the one I used is the one on the far right that has the pointy tip at the other end. Yes it helps the pop, it’s much easier and more comfortable than using my fingers.

u/H00T3RV1LL3 · 6 pointsr/WTF
u/Comfywithmycrazy · 6 pointsr/AskReddit

ULTA or Sephora has these (I've never seen them elsewhere); they're long metal rods with a tip that has a metal circle and you press the metal circle on whatever you want to get out and it does so without damaging the skin or leaving scars. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0017KCPU0/ref=redir_mdp_mobile/180-3710656-8958002

u/Bill_Door_Et_Binky · 6 pointsr/popping

Pimple tweezers, similar to These. Very popular among Chinese poppers; I first saw them on Je’s channel, way back before she started using gloves. Dr Lee’s taken them for a test drive, too.

Versatile: tweezers, lancet, & extractor in one.

Many of the ones you’ll see in use have an eye on the other end for applying a clear “crystal jelly” to pops that are bloody. I’m guessing they do it for barrier purposes.

u/loveSnailMail · 6 pointsr/popping

Use an extractor toollike these

u/malfoy-the-ferrit · 6 pointsr/popping

It’s a comedone extractor.
This is the kit I use (but I’m just an amateur)

u/KatieTheDinosaur · 6 pointsr/SkincareAddiction

Hi friend! Something I would suggest for you:

There are single use, sterile diabetic lancets that are probably a better option for lancing; you can get 300 for $7, there may be even cheaper options.

https://smile.amazon.com/Care-Touch-Twist-Lancets-Gauge/dp/B01GGGS8XW/ref=sr_1_4_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1542822301&sr=8-4&keywords=diabetic+lancets

You can also get a pretty nice set of tools for under $10:

https://smile.amazon.com/BESTOPE-Blackhead-Remover-Comedone-Extractor/dp/B019SVHLEY/ref=sr_1_3_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1542822442&sr=8-3&keywords=skin%2Btools&th=1

I think both of these options may be more gentle on your skin and easier / safer to use.

This is just meant as a friendly suggestion, feel free to disregard!

u/iamguso · 6 pointsr/popping
u/hoetheory · 6 pointsr/Dermatology

Looks very much like a splinter. Run warm water over it for two minutes and then try using this tool in conjunction with tweezers to see if it comes out

u/OutlookGood · 5 pointsr/LifeProTips

An extraction tool like this one causes less damage on my skin than using fingers or needles to deal with pimples and ingrown hairs. It will still leave a tiny wound, of course. It seems to me that a dab of Neosporin before bed seems to make that unnoticeable by morning, but I keep reading that Neosporin is no more effective than Vasoline for healing. The trick for scar-free healing is apparently to avoid scabbing which Vasoline will also do. And they say every exposure to Neosporin is another chance to develop a reaction to one of the three antibiotics in it. I still use it though, mostly for the pain-killing effect. No more ouchies.

If you are more patient there are many types of razor bump lotions. Most of them use salicylic acid as the active ingredient which exfoliates, eventually removing the layer of skin trapping the hair. I can't tell you how long it would take, and they are probably more effective used regularly to prevent future ingrown hairs.

I use Stridex Pads for the salicylic acid on some areas I shave that are prone to razor bumps and as long as I use it immediately after shaving, I never see bumps. Skip it and it's a fifty-fifty chance I'll see a few bumps. It contains alcohol and sometimes stings freshly-shaven skin, but we keep them on hand, so it saves buying and storing another product.

You could also dissolve uncoated aspirins in water and swab that on, for another on-hand source of salicylic acid. The razor bump lotions will contain skin conditioners, maybe thickeners to make it cling to the skin, and other ingredients like fragrances to make it more pleasant to use, but effectively it should work about the same.

u/HobGadlingson · 5 pointsr/funny

Folks. Get a pimple lancet. It’s about ten bucks, and saves me so much time and pain. Use the loop side 10 times more often than the pointy side. In fact, avoid the pointy side forever, if you can. Sterilize both sides with alcohol before and after every use.

u/williamwchuang · 5 pointsr/SkincareAddiction

I very rarely pop zits but this is the process I use when I do. Make sure that the zit is in poppable condition. It has to be "tight" and "taut". Wash wish warm water. Use a disposable, sterile lancet to pop the pimple, and use a clean pimple popper to gently, gently, gently extract the crud. You should not squeeze the zit as much as apply downward pressure on either side of it. Then wash your skin again.

u/wakatopatopa · 3 pointsr/beauty

Is your skin naturally oily, do you tend to be dry, or are you a combination of the two? What'll work best for you depends on your skin.

I've had a lot of success with this toner recipe. Salicylic acid can be a little difficult to find, but it was worth it. I have problems with milia around my eyes and it's the only thing that prevents them.

You might want to go in for a facial, or see a dermatologist. A qualified person can extract the ones you do have, show you how to do it, and would probably have recommendations based on your skintype.

Also - extractors like this are much much much better for your skin than pore strips. Those can further damage your skin, making more breakouts likely.

u/airial · 3 pointsr/TheGirlSurvivalGuide

Try an extractor. I get blackheads, but mine are very, very deep, and completely impossible to remove. Exfoliation, pore strips, peels, masks, nothing helps. They just appear out of nowhere and lurk in my skin for a few months without budging. I have to just wait for them to start surfacing and then go at them with the extractor.

Sorry that's all the advice I have :( I hate blackheads so much..

u/riceandrain · 3 pointsr/acne

This is similar to the one I have, http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0006PLPBC. You just apply light pressure and drag it along your skin. There are tons of YouTube clips showing how to do it properly.

u/discardedlife1845 · 3 pointsr/whatisthisthing
u/Jezzikuh · 3 pointsr/fffffffuuuuuuuuuuuu

u/giottoblue · 3 pointsr/TheGirlSurvivalGuide

I have and have always had these on my upper inner thighs. I've recently discovered that these wire blackhead thingies are really good at removing them.

Exfoliating helps, but at least for me has never fully fixed it.

u/wiseblueberry · 3 pointsr/SkincareAddiction

The flat side of a tool like this works well for me for removing actual blackheads. My skin is more prone to bruising/scarring if I use a bobby pin, but not everyone's skin is as sensitive as mine.

u/b3achl0v3r · 3 pointsr/SkincareAddiction

2 experiences. 1st was during a facial, the esthetician made a small hole in the skin with a lancet and pressed it out. Excellent results, no scarring, no blood. Not everyone is qualified to do this, apparently. It's determined by state licensing laws.

2nd, NOT RECOMMENDED!, my dermatologist wouldn't remove them (wtf?) and said they'd eventually go away on their own, particularly if I rubbed them regularly (liar!). So after months of rubbing and no fewer milia, I did it myself with sharp tweezers to poke the hole and pressed it out with a comedone extractor. Ok results. No scarring but I did have a small bruise from pressing and poking too hard.

Next time I would use a tool like this to make the hole instead of tweezers. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004UO67OU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_0Qu2Bb9FT61VD

u/Sarteret · 3 pointsr/funny

Actually, as pointed out by Dr. Lee, AKA Dr. Pimple Popper. Acne or comodomes are an infection. They should always be removed. She has dealt with ones that have been left for years or even sometimes, DECADES. The thing is you can't just pop a zit and leave it. it needs to be treated like any infection. It needs cleaning, disinfecting, and dressing. This could be as simple as washing your face and applying astringent. Which most astringents are alcohol based and then applying some topical redness reliever, like a cortizone cream. The cortizone reduces the size and makes the swelling go away. At worst case a bandaid, like a little bandaid plaster to keep out bacteria.

So many people pop a zit and wipe off what they can see with their finger. That spreads bacteria to all the other pores, plus anything you have on your finger is now wiped into an oozing open hole on your face. Basic hygiene is what is required. Leaving them alone can help but only because you not spreadin all that crap. But the acne will stay and cause great big sores sometimes. Best to get a comedome set like this.

It also helps to exfoliate the face 2-3 times a week to clear out dead skincells, and also do it after a warm bath when the pores are nice and open.

You've also got several types of masks that can be applied and they harden up, and when peeled off they take the gunk amd blackheads with them. And also nose pore strips. You can find these readily available at any drugstore or beauty shop.

u/iputmywarpaintzon · 2 pointsr/MakeupAddiction

Depot! Makes everything so much easier and faster. I don't have to fumble through products to find what I want everyday. I don't have a very big collection either and I think it works really well with smaller collections. The reason I depoted is also so I could see and use more of my collection, and use products from different palettes at the same time without going back and forth (which I would find myself not doing). It works perfectly for everyday and for travel. At home I keep all my eyeshadows in one double-sided MAC palette and my blushes, contour, and a setting powder in single sided MAC palette. For travel I just take the eyeshadows, blush, contour and stick them in the same palette, so I can put on most of my face out of there.

By the way, The BEST way to depot is using the Goss method. I place one product at a time in a ~210 degree oven for about 3-4 minutes. Then immediately dig out the metal pan using an extracting tool like this one. I do my best to bend the packaging, not the tin if needed. If it doesn't pop right out, I slide a sturdy knife straight under it (vs prying it up at the edges) through a crevice created my the extraction tool.

squeezing blackheads out can cause a lot of damage to your skin because they are very difficult to get out. your fingernails and squeezing the skin can cause a scratch, which it looks like you did scratch yourself. i would use a blackhead extractor tool if you really want to get them out yourself. you can find them on amazon.
also before you try to extract your blackheads make sure you place a very warm washcloth on your face to open up your pores. or just take a warm shower. :)

u/IWankYouWonk · 2 pointsr/abdiscussion

I got a pretty basic set of two (four heads total) from Amazon. Can't remember the name, sorry. But it was one of the bestsellers. Looks like this:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00A6H2DD4/ref=mp_s_a_1_4_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1499995868&sr=8-4&keywords=comedone+extractor&dpPl=1&dpID=31cm2bMnDOL&ref=plSrch

My CC routine:

Get some lancets from the pharmacy. Yep, the ones for diabetics. They're sterile, inexpensive, and scalpel sharp. Then I lance the CC rather gently, as in top of the clog as possible. Again, these babies are teeny scalpels, so a little pressure goes a long way.

Then I press the CC with the oval-ish head. You might need to re-lance, but only use downward pressure with the extractor, and a little wiggle. If nothing comes out, LEAVE IT ALONE. slap on a hydrocolloid and try again a few days later.

But you should be able to get the clog out pretty cleanly. I swipe with a bit of alcohol, let it dry for a second, then cover with a cosrx patch.

My esthetician friend rec'd the lancets, because a clean cut heals better and faster than the more ragged tear you get from straight popping.

Wash your hands. And make sure you sanitize the tools. I use rubbing alcohol, before and after I use them.

alright, you've already gotten some pretty decent advice about your makeup. so here's my suggestion for future reference: go buy a blackhead remover. you can get them online or at a place like target, and it's a lot more gentle on your face than your fingernails! totally a worthwhile investment.

u/kscrimsher · 1 pointr/LifeProTips

In addition to NOT touching your face and sleeping on clean towels...

Go to the drugstore and buy benzoyl peroxide cream. When you feel a pimple coming on, wash your face with a gentle cleanser, rub the cream into the pimple, and forget about it for a while. If you need to pop, buy an extractor tool and go on Youtube for good demos. Wash your face, swish the tool in some rubbing alcohol and gently press on each black or whitehead you want to get rid of. Voila! Acne under control.

u/tinyphotographer · 1 pointr/LifeProTips

Actually, it is better for your skin if you pop the pimples, albeit you have to do it properly (i.e. using clean hands, washing your face after and then applying a treatment). Never force a pimple to pop, as that can cause damage to your skin and cause scarring. But the really gross whiteheads that look like they are going to burst on their own, yeah, you need to drain the bacteria out of those suckers. Otherwise you are letting it fester under your skin and break down the surrounding tissue.

As for blackheads, you can purchase a comedone extractor to help rid yourself of them.

I will say, though, that you should never try to pop a cystic pimple. Those are the ones that feel like a ball under your skin. If you attempt to pop one of those you can cause the bacteria to spread under your skin. It's best to let a professional handle those.

I got an extractor (one of these dudes ) and now when I feel a pimple and I just get that addictive urge to pop it, I am able to at the very least wait till I get home to use the tool, as it usually works better than my fingers. The tool is easier to keep clean than my hands, and it does less damage to the skin than scraping with your fingers does. Plus I keep my popping down to once a day, in the evenings, so there's less inflammation. Now I've at least minimized my skin picking, and am working on eliminating it entirely. It's a good starting point. :) hope it helps!

This thing.
It's for popping pimples and blackheads and I must have it!

Pet peeve, when people call glitter "sprinkles". I work with glitter and encounter this way too often.

Try a salmon toned color correcting concealer. LA Girl makes a really good salmon concealer, and so does Urban Decay. You can tap the product on with your finger to blend out the product under your eyes. I find that the Urban Decay concealer is very soft and buildable.

For blackheads and clogged pores, try using a facial cleansing tool after a hot shower. It looks like a metal hoop on one side and a sharp point on the other side. I highly recommend watching demos on YouTube before trying it out, because it's really hard to explain how to use it without visuals. This tool will help you clean out the deeply clogged pores that a pore strip or facial cleanser might not be able to catch. Be very careful with it and always remember to sanitize it with alcohol before and after using it. I also highly recommend trying a Clarisonic for everyday cleansing.

I occasionally get my teeth whitened at a spa, but I only get them done if I need instant results. I've used Crest 3D white toothpaste before and noticed better results than other brands.

Probably gross to many but this comedone? Comedome? Thing. I watched some videos of blackhead removals and it was like a train wreck.. Could. Not. Stop. Watching.

Blackhead remover tool. They can be helpful if you know what you're doing but it's very easy to be too aggressive/go overboard and hurt your skin. Best to research good technique and follow proper hygiene etiquette (sterilizing the tool, washing your face thoroughly, etc.)

Get a pore presser to remove them in a sterile, non-destructive way. This is the one I have, the angled ones are great. It takes about a week for them to grow back. My skin has noticeably improved, pores have become less visible and cleaner- same for my boyfriend. Rule #1: keep it sanitary (alcohol them between pressings), and #2: be as gentle with your skin as you can be!

IF you feel the need to pick at your face, at least don't use your fingers. Most of the time, you do more bad than good . Whenever I get a blackhead, I use a blackhead extractor after I shower to get it out. If i get a whitehead, I run the blackhead extractor over the top of it and it pops it with ease.

So yeah, look into getting one of these.

u/skincareaddict92 · 1 pointr/abdiscussion

Of course! So I bought [this] (https://www.amazon.com/BESTOPE-Blackhead-Remover-Comedone-Extractor/dp/B019SVHLEY/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1498406863&sr=8-1&keywords=comedone+extractor) kit. I first make sure to double cleanse and get all the gunk off my face. Then I use a toner to get the remaining dirt off my face. I bought [this] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01BPKUCRE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1) steamer. I turn it on and steam my face for 5 minutes. It gets really hot so I'm pretty far from the steamer itself. You want a nice warm mist on your face. After 5 minutes, I whip out the kit and examine my face. With the smallest loop, I gently press down on any sebaceous filaments and blackheads I see. If it doesn't come out with a gentle press, I leave it alone. It's sooo tempting to push harder and get everything out but it can lead to scarring which has happened to me so many times.



I had rhinoplasty done recently so I can't extract anything on my nose so I do something different for that. I first apply BHA, wait 10 min, then apply a clay mask and wait until it dries. I wash it off and infront of the steamer, I apply my cleansing oil and just massage it into my nose gently and to the rest of my face. After about 3-5 minutes of massaging, you'll start to feel grits which is all the gunk that came out of your pores. [This] (https://fiftyshadesofsnail.com/2015/03/28/how-to-shrink-pores-temporarily-plus-3-pore-myths/) is where i got this method from :)

u/May0naise · 1 pointr/trashy

Get a pimple popping kit.

something like this.

It makes it easier to pop the pimples/remove the black heads. Easier to pop for the popper and better visual for the pop. And hurts less for the pop(-ee?).

u/stripmallpsychic · 1 pointr/SkincareAddiction

if you are going to remove blackheads and clean pores, definitely make sure your face is warm and moist. perfect time to do it is immediately after a shower. the steam really helps open up your pores! I would recommend using an extractor tool. something like this would be fine. make sure you wipe off and clean the tool with an alcohol wipe before each use. if you press down and its not coming out - leave it. it is not ready. trying to get it out will cause so much redness and scarring (trust me ive made this mistake many times!) also highly recommend using a toner after extracting. i would also recommend incorporating a clay mask into your routine 2-3 times a week. i use the fresh umbrian clay mask and ive noticed a huge difference in my nose blackheads. they aren't completely gone but they are much smaller and less noticeable!

Not an expert but I frequent r/popping and r/skincareaddiction quite a bit.

Probably turned black From irritation. Do your best not to pop or pick at them. If you need to pop them (like if they’re large and white and make you feel self conscious), wipe your face with alcohol on a cotton swab to sanitize it. Wipe your tool with alcohol, too. Be extremely gentle. Stop when you see blood. Here’s a tool set I recommend. JPNK Blackhead Remover Tools 6 PCS with a Leather bag https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01CNMASFY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_.UFzCbJETBKS2

If I were you, I’d begin using CeraVe cleanser both night and day. This is an inexpensive brand but is recommended by tons of derms, including my own. It’s very gentle and suitable for sensitive skin. I’d recommend using moisturizer morning and nighttime also, but not a must. Also, use a sunscreen in the morning (and afternoon if possible). Sunscreen will help keep your scars from darkening and becoming more apparent

I'm going to SKA hell for this... Sterilize it (with fire. seriously) and use it and then clean the area with something to dry that shit out like tea tree oil.

Prevent with BHA. Wear sunscreen. Blah blah blah.
