But before you drop $$$ on some fad pore vacuum or ultrasonic skin scrubber that may or may not damage your skin, take a beat and keep reading, because I chatted with board-certified dermatologists Mona Gohara, MD, and Rachel Westbay, MD, for all the deets on the best blackhead removal tools and how to use them below. That said, there are products that can help you treat your blackheads safely (see: salicylic acid), and even a few blackhead removal tools endorsed by dermatologists. Because the reality is that nobody can have pore-less or perfectly clear skin all skin has texture and bumps, and all humans have blackheads (even if some have more than others).

And I will also (hesitantly) admit that in order to get rid of clogged pores, I've indulged in some really bad habits, like poking and prodding at my face with blackhead removal tools until I'm left with inflamed skin-and the same blackheads I started with.

I'll be the first to admit that I often dream of having clear, smooth skin without a single blackhead or pimple.
