Blackheads

A blackhead is a clogged pore left open at the surface, where trapped oil and dead skin oxidise and darken. Irregular cleansing, skipped exfoliation and heavier occlusive products all encourage them, most often across the nose, chin and forehead where oil glands sit closest together.

Common questions

How long before I see results?

Most people notice a change in four to six weeks, and the full effect at twelve. Actives work on the skin’s own renewal cycle, so consistency matters more than strength.

Can I use these products together?

The steps in the treatment guide are built to layer in the order shown. If you are adding them to an existing routine, ask an advisor before combining more than one active.

Do I need a consultation first?

No — everything here is available to buy directly. A consultation helps when your skin is reacting, when you are unsure which concern to treat first, or when you want a routine built around several at once.
