How well does it do at removing or eliminating blackheads/whiteheads? And how long did it take before you see a difference?

This is only a gentle scrub. It does not have ingredients in product for really serious blackheads in my understanding. I like it because it is very gentle on my skin, causes no irritation or dryness but makes my skin smooth, and I can use it several times a week.

Yes because basically it cleans all the stuff out of your pores, and the dead skin. I always notice the difference in my pores after I use it - no dirt, no blackheads either.

Not really, and I would not use it for blackheads as it is super drying. This product is good for reducing redness and inflammation of acne.

I am also an African American, I use this daily, its very good for all types of skin color. It helps removes dead skin, blackheads leaving your skin smooth. Also try using witch hazel as a toner to help minimize pimples. I have had severe acne on my forehead, this regimen has helped me a lot. I am acne free and my face is even toned and soft. I also use Johnson&Johnson deep clean at night. As for scars, you should try coco butter to remove them. It helped with the tiny scar i had, I hope I helped

No, not really. But I am also not using it regularly. I use this once or twice a week. The reason I say there has been moderate skin improvement, is because it has helped with the overall evenness of my skin tone. And that's the only change I've seen.

Yes! I've never had problem with clogged pores or blackheads, and I've used this product for quite a while.

For me I find it works wonders. BUT,like with all beauty products----some work for some and not others. But I did see a difference right away and how after weeks of using it really did improve (noticed a difference over night,always a plus). I have been away on a trip and not have it with me....and I really regret being without it.

I would say it DOES help even your skin tone among other things. My cheeks and jawline were burdened with acne and acne blemishes. I barely noticed results when using this as a Mask 1x/wk basis, and even 2x/wk. This week, I used this as a nightly "Rinse", and now my face is almost blemish-free. I already use a konjac sponge to exfoliate my skin, then apply the clay (mixed with a few add-ins). I keep the clay on no more than five minutes, rinse, then moisturize. I did this for seven nights in a row, and WOW. What I looked like the Monday before I started this is pretty damn yucky compared to what I look like by the next Monday morning. I wish I had thought to try this sooner. I would say it DOES help even your skin tone among other things. My cheeks and jawline were burdened with acne and acne blemishes.

Not mine. I've used pore strips and facial brushes and scrubs and nothing really gets rid of my blackheads but a really abrasive scrub helps a lot. This product might help somebody else with their blackheads but not me.

I believe that it has helped me a lot. I used to follow it with cetaphil (the mildest formula), but I found that that seemed to irritated my skin and dried it out. Once I stopped using a cleanser afterwards, my face kept its moisture better and breakouts stopped. But maybe that was just me. I use this, then a toner, then a hyaluronic acid toner and moisturizer. I have oily skin, by the way.

It gets rid of the pimples and or blackheads you have but you need a good cleanser and toner to clear skin. This tool simply is a less harmful Wi of "popping" blackheads and pimples.

Jennifer, I am a 52 year old woman and I've been using this product, along with Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Moisturizer for about 2 years. I was one of those teens who never had a blemish, even during that time of month. Twenties, no problems. Thirties I started getting black heads after the birth of my son and I mean all over my face all the time. This went on until I got 50. I don't know if it is due to my hormones or this product, but I do not have one blackhead now. I believe this product is only to be used once a week, that's how often I use it. Do yourself a favor and get a good daily face wash. Don't use soap on your face if possible. You're young, but if you start with a good daily face wash and a good moisturizer, you might not need the rapid wrinkle repair. LOL. Have fun in the sun but cover that face with the highest possible sunscreen. Neutrogeno has very good products. You should get this and look into their daily face washes and moisturizers. Hope this helps.

I'm using it daily. It's been a few weeks now. I see some improvement, but I do feel it's too soon to give a more thorough answer. Feel free to check back. My skin is looking a lot better overall!

Yes, my mom uses it and we have noticed a significant change. The spots are getting lighter, this product is amazing, however my mom uses it once or twice per week so maybe you will get quicker results if used 2-3 times per week.

I have adult acne so I would say that my pores that are large are mainly on my cheek and experience black heads too much. I have noticed with this product that it goes after those black heads and slowly reduces the pores size. I have also noticed that your face feels like a babies bottom after use, which a lot of products advertise but, this product really does it. Thanks for asking, I think I will do myself a peel today. Let me know if you have anymore questions.

It works for me. Escpecially when I get a new breakout out, I use the spot treatment and it's gone within 2 days.

I don't know if it can remove a blackhead or not, but it does a very good job of deep cleaning my pores. For the price, I think it is an exceptional tool. I purchased one for my daughter and she loves it.
