Customer Reviews

A great tool!
I was hesitant to buy this at first, but I'm so glad I did. It is so easy to use and my face doesn't become irritated like it did when i used my fingers. It gets all the junk out with very little pressure most of the time. And if you have to press a little harder your face wont look busted up! This actually helps the blemish go away faster after it's been taken care of, and after I use it, it's not obvious that I just popped one.

Effective, well-made: now a part of my daily routine.
I had been eying these sorts of tools for a while online, wondering if they could actually do anything for my acne/blackhead problem.

I decided to buy this one day after seeing that in its category, this item was highest rated on makeupalley(dot)com.

Surprisingly, the small loop (for whiteheads) actually clears out even very small acne, and on tough areas like near my eyes and bridge of nose.

The flat/large loop for pressing out blackheads is difficult to use on areas like the nose (where I have the most blackheads) and is only useful for isolated instances along flat areas like forehead or cheeks. Even so, the small loop often works on blackheads too, so give it a try.

Little to no scarring results, so I use it every night to clear up just-forming small whiteheads.

Just know that you will have to endure some pain for it to work properly: push the small loop down, enclosing the whitehead within. Then if it still hasnt come up, keep pressure on it while rolling it across your face so the loop's tip ends up touching the whitehead. The combined pressure on 3 sides is usually enough to remove anything (though it does hurt).

Definitely recommended, though moreso for whiteheads than blackheads. (cystic acne.. no chance)

Not quite.
Not the best comedone extractor I've used. The larger end is too large for 90% of skin types. The small end works fine. I'd recommend an extractor with one end similar to the smaller end, with the other end consisting of a lancet to open pores prior to extractions. This makes for a much less painful extraction. If you don't have a lancet on your extractor, use a sterilized needle prior to extracting. You'll have a lot more success with a lot less pain. If you have small pores, I'd recommend an exteactor with a hook even smaller than the small hook on this product.
