How do blackheads form on our faces?
But first, how do these tiny spots appear out of nowhere all of the sudden? In layman’s terms, blackhead occurs when your pores are clogged with dead skin cells, excess oil (also known as sebum), and bacteria that turns black once exposed to air, hence the term ‘black’.
The common misconception of blackheads is that if you have them, it means your face is dirty. But actually, it’s not, it’s simply because there is constantly excess oil produced by your skin, which is common for everyone.
Regular treatment and taking care of your skin on a daily basis helps to conquer the blackheads, with the help of effective skincare products for blackheads! Here are the best 15 skincare products for blackheads:
Glamglow SUPERMUD Clearing Treatment
Most skincare enthusiasts swear by this product from Glamglow – the positive reviews talk about how their skin instantly clears up within a few days after using it!
With the product infused with charcoal, it removes and absorbs any oil found around your T-zone, making your pores tighter afterward as well. Once you rinse it off, you’ll notice how smooth it’ll get while your pores shrink. Though it is on the pricier side, it really is worth the price to feel the satisfaction after.
Glamglow SUPERMUD Clearing Treatment (50g) retails for RM280.00.
Innisfree Super Volcanic Pore Clay Mask 2x
Specifically designed to remove large and clogged pores, the Innisfree Super Volcanic Pore Clay Mask 1x is the ultimate 10 in 1 clay mask that does more than just removing blackheads!
The name has ‘2x’ in it because it does exactly that, removing twice more excess oil found on the pores while decreasing its size at the same time, preventing them from growing faster. Do take note it might dry out really quickly, so be sure to apply it quickly.

Unlike the Super Volcanic Pore Clay Mask 2x, this product from Innisfree works best to control the excess sebum from appearing on your face, perfect to prevent blackheads from reappearing often.
The key ingredient is the volcanic scoria that’s taken from Jeju Island that helps to absorb the excess sebum and impurities while leaving your skin smooth as a baby’s bum! You’ll notice your blackheads start to decrease after a while, according to many users who reviewed this product. This is definitely one of the most well-loved skincare products for blackheads in the market.
