blackhead killers

Blackhead Killer (5-Pack)*

If your skin is anything like mine, then the very existence of blackheads will probably annoy you. They may not be visible to anyone else, but I know they're there and I obsess over them more than I should. Pore strips don't do much except leave my nose in a very dry condition, and although spot treatment do have an effect they leave my skin looking very dry and sorry for itself. I'm always on the lookout for a new miracle cure, so needless to say I was eager to try the promisingly-named Blackhead Killers.

The product presents itself as a face mask, taking the form of a sticky black goop that is almost impossible to wash off, but once dry - after 10-15 minutes - peels off in the same way that any other peel-off mask does. It really does work. After one use, my t-zone looked far better and the situation on my nose had significantly improved as well. Three uses and my forehead and chin had all but cleared up and my nose looked half as bad as it did before. After two weeks my skin had barely any blackheads at all - the thing is that the results aren't incredibly long-lasting, and the blackheads will return (albeit not quite as bad) after a few weeks. The mask also works on other kinds of blemishes, however the results aren't quite as profound and my Origins Clear Improvement Charcoal Face Mask does the job better - but for blackheads, that goop really does what it says on the tin.
I managed to squeeze five uses out of one sachet, applying the mask only to my t-zone four of the five times so really you're looking at around 25 uses for one box. At £15, the Blackhead Killers are much better value for money than those overpriced nose pore strips - and if you try it and it doesn't work for you, you can get a full refund!
