How do I get rid of blackheads?

I have blackheads literally all over my nose, some on my forehead, and a few on my chin. They gross me out and I feel that they are very noticeable since I have light skin. I've tried squeezing them and the dirt (or whatever it is) comes out but then there's just an open pore that fills back up with dirt and becomes a blackhead again. I've tried black head strips, scrubs, and I use proactive for my skin but none of this has worked at all. A lot of people have told me to use the strips but they only get a couple of the blackheads out and they end up becoming clogged again. Can someone PLEASE recommend something that will actually help? I'm tired of wasting my money and time with suggestions that don't work. I don't want answers that you've googled. I want answers from people that have experience with this sort of thing (if you've had black heads and successfully gotten rid of them or if you know someone who used a product/method that got rid of them). Thank you so much.How do I get rid of blackheads?
I know exactly how you feel! It feels so gross to have blackheads everywhere, and nothing works very well to get them out. My mom (who is a doctor) says that blackheads aren't stuff that is stuck in your pores; they're actually the result of the oil that naturally lives in your pores becoming oxidized. Some people just produce more oil than others or have pores that aren't good at expelling it.





I tried salicylic acid washes, benzoic acid washes, pore strips, etc. and nothing got rid of them. Just recently, however, I found a chemical peel at Aldi which actually worked! I was crazy amazed. It takes off the top layers of skin and exfoliates them, leaving only the clean pores and new skin underneath. My skin was soft and smooth with blackheads nearly invisible. I totally recommend these chemical peels!
