I am in my late 20s and have combination skin that has cleared up greatly in the past 6 months since switching to Dermalogica products for normal/combo skin. I use the daily microfoliant on a daily basis and I also get monthly facials. My esthetician is always very thorough w/ extractions.
My esthetician says that I have blackheads in my chin that are embedded so deep that it is very difficult to get them out, despite much steaming, etc. Even though I don't have a serious acne problem, I am going to see a dermatologist next week.
Has anyone had a similar experience with stubborn chin blackheads? Any suggestions as to products/methods would be much appreciated. |

I recently went to get some whiteheads extracted and the lady recommended a 10% Glycolic / 2% Salicylic Acid solution to get rid of and prevent whiteheads and blackheads.
I don't know how well it really works on blackheads because I only use it to spot treat pimples or whiteheads. I can tell you that it works on those extremely well! I had this inflamed mountain of a pimple of my temple the other day and I put some of the Glycolic/Salicylic acid overnight. In the morning it was still red but it was smooth, no inflamed bump. Did the same thing the next night and now you can barely tell there was a pimple there! It also works very well on whiteheads, spot treat it for a few days and it just squeezes out
I don't know what skin type you have and if it is sensitive or not so I don't know if it would be suitable to you though.
