Does the clean and clear blackhead eraser help with acne?

If you have used the clean and clear blackhead eraser, could you tell me what you think of it. i know that its different for all people, but i just wanted someones opinion. thanks!Does the clean and clear blackhead eraser help with acne?
i used clean and clear products before and it irritates my skin hence, making it worse. clearasil does the same. try cetaphil or natural treatment like diet or herbal meds. i hope this would help. good luck.Does the clean and clear blackhead eraser help with acne?
It hasn't worked for me so far. i've tried it all I think :) I just bought that to compliment the Clean and Clear Control Kit and so far I like that, but I'm not finding the blackhead eraser to be working at all...I've been using it for about 2 wks now. Honestly, the thing that works best for me, bar none is a dab of toothpaste w/ baking soda. Dab it on there, leave it on and wash it off in the morning. Sounds dumb but I've done that for years and that's the fastest thing that works ';quick relief'; for me for any trouble spots.
No it didnt at all... Dried my skin out, causing it to create more oil, and instead of blackheads i got black heads and pimples(which i didnt have before)





Dont waste your money, i wish i was told earlier
  • perfume cosmetics
  • I need help with blackheads!?

    have tried just about every blackhead cleanser out there even the ';good bye blackhead'; eraser from clean and clear..


    help pleaseI need help with blackheads!?
    Where are they?





    Try a hot compress, repeat and gently push them out.


    On your nose you can move the nose upward.





    Use witch hazel after you wash your face in the AM and before bed it balances your pores -

    You must use a strong exfoliant scrub with warm water for about 5 minutes. Scrub until your skin is pinky-red. Then gently squeeze out the blackhead(s).





    Then saturate a cotton ball with witch hazel and wipe the area immediately.My skin is weird, its a combination of oily and dry and blackheads! HELP...?

    Try the Natural Cures for Acne/Pimples.





    Acne is perhaps the most common chronic skin disease. It is an inflammatory condition of the sebaceous (that is fat or grease) glands and hair follicles usually found on the face, the neck, chest, and shoulders. Nearly 8/10 young people between the ages of 12 and 24 suffer from some degree of acne. It is closely related to the disturbance in the hormones experienced at puberty.





    The majority of patients recover between the ages 20 and 30 years. But it is still common in men over 30 years. In women, it rarely lasts beyond the early 30s and is normally worse before each menstrual period. The disease causes a great deal of embarrassment at an age when people tend to be sensitive about personal appearance.





    The skin, covering the entire body, is a marvellous and intricate mechanism. It serves three main purposes; namely, protection of the inner organism, regulation of body temperature, and elimination of cell waste and systemic refuse. The skin is directly connected with and intimately bound up with the working of the whole system. All skin diseases, including acne, are the outcome of malfunctioning of the body as a whole.





    Symptoms: Acne is characterized by the presence of comedones or blackheads, pimples, small superficial sebaceous cysts, and scars. There are over half a dozen forms of acne. All of them are concerned with sebaceous glands or the glands connected with hair follicles. The most common form of acne is blackheads. The areas chiefly affected are the forehead, temples, cheeks, and chin, the chest and back. In rare cases, almost the entire body may be covered with black heads with extensive scarring.





    Causes: All forms of acne have their origin in wrong feeding habits, such as irregular hours of eating, improper food, excess of starches and sugar, excess of fatty foods. Chronic constipation is another major cause of acne. If the bowels do not move properly, waste matter is not eliminated as quickly as it should be and the bloodstream becomes surcharged with toxic matter. The extra efforts of the skin to eliminate excess waste result in acne and other forms of skin disease. Yet another important cause of acne is a devitalised condition of the skin resulting from unhygienic living habits. Other causes of the disorder are excessive use of tea, coffee, alcohol or tobacco, strenuous studies, masturbation, and sedentary habits which lead to indigestion and general debility.





    Treatment: The treatment of acne by the administration of salve or ointment does not serve any purpose. They only suppress the action of the sebaceous glands temporarily. In nature cure, the main emphasis is on diet and certain water applications. To begin with the patient should resort to all-fruit diet for about a week. In this regimen, there should be three meals a day, consisting of fresh juicy fruits, such as apples, pears, grapes, grape-fruit, pineapple and peaches. Citrus fruits, bananas, dried, stewed or tinned fruits should not be taken. Unsweetened lemon or plain water, either hot or cold, should be drunk and nothing else. During this period, warm -water enema should be taken daily to cleanse the bowels and all other measures adopted to eradicate constipation.





    After a week of all fruit diet, the patient can gradually adopt a well-balanced diet. Emphasis should be on raw foods, especially fresh fruits and vegetables, sprouted seeds, raw nuts, and whole grain cereals, especially millet and brown rice. Further shorter periods on the all-fruits for three days, or so may be necessary at a monthly interval till the condition of the skin improves. Strict attention to diet is essential for recovery. Starchy, protein and fatty foods, should be restricted. Meats, sugar, strong tea or coffee, condiments, pickles, refined and processed foods should all be avoided, as also soft drinks, candies, ice cream and products made with sugar and white flour.





    Two vitamins, namely, niacin and vitamin A have been used successfully to treat acne. The vitamin therapy which may comprise a niacin, 100 mg. three times daily and vitamin A in large doses up to 1,50,000 units per day should not exceed one month. Vitamin E is also vitally important to prevent scarring from acne and in removing old scars.





    Another effective remedy in the realm of nutrition that seems to offer new promise of help for acne is zinc. It has shown dramatic results in some cases. Zinc should be taken in therapeutic doses of 50 mg three times a day. After noticeable improvement it can be gradually reduced.





    Local Treatment: As regards local treatment, hot fomentation should be applied to open up the pores and squeeze the waste matter. Then rinse with cold water. Sun and air baths by exposing the whole body to sun and air are highly beneficial. The healing packs made of grated cucumber, oatmeal cooked in milk, and cooked, creamed carrots used externally, have been found to be effective. The orange peel is valuable in the treatment of acne. The peel, pounded well with water on a piece of stone, should be applied to the affected areas. The lemon has also proved beneficial in removing pimples and acne. It should be applied regularly.





    A teaspoonful of coriander juice, mixed with a pinch of turmeric powder, is another effective home remedy for pimples and blackheads. The mixture should be applied to the face after thoroughly washing it, every night before retiring.





    The juice of raw potatoes has also proved very valuable in clearing skin blemishes. This cleansing results from high content of potassium sulphur, phosphorous and chlorine in the potato. These elements are, however, of value only when the potato is raw as in this state they are composed of live organic atoms.





    A hot Epsom-salt bath twice a week will be highly beneficial in all cases of acne. This bath is prepared by adding one and a half kg of Epsom salt to 50 litres of water having a temperature of about 100 degrees F. The patient should remain in the bath from 25-35 minutes till he perspires freely. After the bath the patient should cool off gradually.





    Hope this helps, Good Luck.
    Hello Dear ,


    You have mentioned your skin type but you did not mention your age and duration of problem.

Best time to apply is before going to bed. Wash gently with tap water do not rub or peel out forcefully. Keep rinsing untill it comes off cleanly. Wipe with a clean soft towel and retire to bed.With in 3weeks you will find improvement in all the problems you have mentioned above.


    While going out in the sun do not forget to apply sunscreen atleast of spf30. Reapply the same after 2hours if you have to stay in sun for a long period.


    Use mild soap with moisturiser.


    Use GE free lotion as foundation for makeup.

    well i wud suggest u 2 use scrub over ur nose,,, n scrub it gently n nt harshly,,, use oats over ur nose,, n d best solutions 4 ur blacheads is d aloe vera gel,, if uve gt an plant take d gel out,, and apply it on ur affectd area,,
    There is nothing you can do to get rid of blackheads w/ a home remedy. Go to a dermatologist if you don't want to buy any products which will be more expensive. Products I think would be the best way. There is this product my boyfriend and I use since he has large pores and alot of blackheads on his nose and it really works his nose is smooth and not bumpy w/ blackheads. It's Estee Lauder's Idealist Micro-D(the beauty advisor can tell u more). It will aslo help w/ the dry skin. Then all you have to worry about the oil and that's easier. I think Oil of Olay has one that sounds similar but I dont think it will work as good as EL's. I promise you it works my man has a big nose and it gets sooo bumpy w/ blackheads and he doesn't have it anymore, its really smooth.He loves it.

    Try Proactive it works.
    you need to get a facial.


    have you heard of Declor products from France? i had your problem and natural extract from plants products helped me
    Yep, Proactiv!! It really does work, and its the only thing that has ever workd on my acne. Stuff my doctor prescribed couldn't even touch it like Proactiv did. Its cheapest to order it directly rather than buy it at a stand at the mall.
    A good skin regime is very important in keeping your face/body clear of problems. I'd suggest giving Proactiv (proactiv.com) a try it really worked nicely for me. It has an exfoliating scrub, a toner, and a medicated lotion. I use it once or twice a day.





    The Proactiv mask is totally awesome! I would put the mask on a pimple or an area where i had blackheads and leave it on overnight when i go to bed and wash it off in the morning. This helped speed the process of healing.





    For stubborn blackheads like on your nose or something, I would suggest giving Biore Pore Strips a try. They kind of sting the first time peeling it off but after a few uses it's like nothing.

    Does Oxy really help with the removal of blackheads?

    Don't know never used it and thought it was just for spots. Blackhead strips are effective. Here are a few tips.





    Drink plenty of still water it does make a difference - I try and drink at least a litre a day. I just fill my water bottle and sip it during the day. This will help flush out any impurities.





    Use a gentle daily facial scrub and a deep facial cleanser (daily). Neutrogena does one designed for the removal of blackheads.





    Try a 10 min facial steam (boiling water in sink , towel over head and sink) to open pores. Use a deep cleanser or facial scrub to dislodge the blackheads. Do this once a week.





    Do not sleep in your makeup. If you are wearing a foundation leave this off as this might be clogging your pores and causing you to break out. If you desperately need to use something, use a light tinted moisturiser.





    Ideally I would just use a regular moisturiser until your skin clears up.Does Oxy really help with the removal of blackheads?
    ? Well there are many skin %26amp; blackhead removal cleaners on the market! Very simple? When you shop for skin cleaners the secret is in the main ingredient! And the main ingredient you need to look for to unclog your skin pores is called Salicylic Acid! usually 2% or better will help for the removal of blackheads! And also rejuvenates your skin. The higher and more salicylic acid content the more effectiveness you will get out of your product. May I add that your Dermatologist can prescribe you a skin cleaner with a higher salicylic acid content. If you have a serious skin problem I would recommend you see your Dr. first before you use anything to determine whats going on with your skin! It can be many problems such as acne, or food allergies!Does Oxy really help with the removal of blackheads?
    Not as good as a beltsander.
    Not a bit. not at all. not for me.
    It doesn't help mine, but I don't have many.
    no
    just blackhead strips from your chemist.

    HELP ME -- BLACKHEADS-LIL BUMPS! ??TEETH?

    i have blackheads and lil bumps on my face. and i was wondering does the egg thing really work? %26amp;%26amp; if you can please give me a way to clear up this in less than 2 weeks? and teeath whitener anyone? my teeth are white but i want them to shine and whiter!!!@ BEST ANSA WILL BE REWARDEDHELP ME -- BLACKHEADS-LIL BUMPS! ??TEETH?
    for blackheads use biore blackhead strips. and use a good face wash like clean and clear scrubs.





    hm teeth whiteners. use whitening strips. like crest whitening strips premium.





    good luck :)HELP ME -- BLACKHEADS-LIL BUMPS! ??TEETH?
    i use nitrogena face wach the 1 with grape fruit extract u can find it at ur local pharmacy i got mine from cvs pharmacy it works relli gud i used it 4 3 dayz and my blackheads were gone and 4 the teeth thing use baking soda apply it 2 ur past it works perfectly and u can also rub strawberryz on dem thez r home rewmidez that work great!!
    ok so for blackheads... you should buy biore blackhead strips. they are WICKED cheap and you just stick them on and the blackheads will come straight off!! also, if that doesn't work, you should try proactive it works FABULOUS (i use it too :])


    For your teeth YOU HAVE TO TRY aim toothpaste. You would NEVER expect that it would work. you can buy it at Big Y and its WICKED cheap. my ENTIRE family uses it and i noticed THE BIGGEST difference after just 1 brush!!! :] its called aim mint gel whitening toothpaste!!!!!!! i LOVE IT!!!! %26lt;3
    DO NOT USE OXY 4! it doesn't work. If ur gonna use anything besides neutrogena then get clean and clear pads. They worked really well for me but then i started getting lots of pimples so i needed something stronger. So i use skin id now. But for blackheads use clean and clear PADS not the scrub. It made me start to peel.
    You should use this facewash called Cetaphil.


    It's recommended by dermatologists%26amp;%26amp;it works really well with your face.


    For your teeth, you should probably use crest pro whitening strips.


    Hope this helps!:)
    well blackheads u should use oxy 4. you can get it at walmart 4 like 4 bucks


    teeth colgate white strips
    brush teeth with clorox
