Real talk — nose strips don't work. Those satisfying peel-off videos? They're mostly removing peach fuzz and sebaceous filaments, not actual blackheads.

Here's what actually matters for clearing blackheads:

The problem: Dead skin and oil get trapped in your pores. Squeezing with your fingers pushes bacteria deeper and causes inflammation.

What works:

• Steam first. 5 minutes with a warm towel opens pores so extraction is painless

• Suction > squeezing. Controlled suction pulls debris out without pushing bacteria in

• Consistency over intensity. 1-2x per week beats going ham once a month

• Moisturize after. Your pores are open post-extraction — lock in hydration

I built PoreBlast because I was tired of spending money on products that didn't deliver. The Pro vacuum has 5 suction levels so you can start gentle and work up.

If you're dealing with blackheads and nothing's working, try a different approach. Your skin will thank you.
