Do you use any skincare products that help with this? My skin is suddenly sensitive and I can't use Biore strips anymore!

Oh bummer! The strips were what I was going to suggest can you go for a facial for sensative skin? Maybe one of those tools they use for extractions since you wouldn't be putting anything on your skin.

Oooh, I recently bought the Body Shop's Tea Tree Blackhead Scrub and it is literally the first product that doesn't dry my face out while actually getting rid of blackheads.

I've just used clairsonic and aveeno's scrub on a daily basis to keep them maintained on a daily basis. I haven't used the strips in years because they were always so harsh on my skin.
I do "squeeze" on occasion when I notice they're bad and then use the clairsonic/scrub~

I use a clarisonic with cetaphil, witch hazel for toner, and then an extractor for anything that's left!

I've been using a clarisonic and an oil based wash forever, but recently switched to a Wonderbar. I don't have as many blackheads, I don't think, but they are still there. I'm finally breaking down and getting a facial.

I used to be a huge fan of the biore strips, but I feel like they don't grab as well anymore. The strip would be clean, but I still have quite a bit of blackheads! They do help raise them up but I still have to manually push them out afterwards. Pointless! I'm interested to see what others are using!
@dagret: I have sensitive skin and when I temporarily switched over to The Body Shop's tea tree oil line, omg! my breakouts were even worse than what I already had. I pushed through a month, and I just kept getting cystic acne. Ouch!

Facials are the only way I know of to really get rid of them. they need to be properly extracted

@blackbird: I have been really curious about the wonder bar... Do you like?
I have been trying out the fresh Umbrian clay bar. It works really well for keeping blackheads in check but is a pain to use. I use it with my clairosonic.

@sweetchic:
same boat here.. except my DH does that for me.
every time he notices one or a pimple he goes "my arch nemesis is back" and just goes for it. I have no say.

@JustlikeHeaven: That's like DH & I, except he's the one that has no say.
I am the worst person ever to ask about blackheads, as I can never seem to completely get rid of mine.
