I currently on minocycline and the regimen. Both seem to be working, to help my pimples, but my treatments dont really do anything for my blackheads. My dermatologist recommended that I use a face mask, they seem to temporarily work, but they dont do much. Ive read that some good blackhead treatments are home remedies which would be the honey and milk pore strips, or an egg white mask.
ive also heard that a clay mask,salicylic acid gel, retnoid, enzymatic exfoliator, or a laser treatment works. Does anyone have expirrience with these products, because I dont kmow if thay'll work better than what i tried previously?
hi, I'd personally recommend using neem oil on the area where the blackheads are. you'll have to be patient as it is a natural way of curing the problem. maybe give it a month to see some changes. I have used it and it did work for me. it doesn't smell the best, but i don't think too many ppl will find the smell repulsive. Neem oil also works for pimples. You could google it for more info.
Tretinoin is a good retinoid for clearing up blackheads and whiteheads. My son uses it and it's done a fantastic job! I highly recommend! If you're still getting used to the Regimen products, I'd wait several weeks before introducing any retinoids as using multiple treatments can be irritating. I'd also recommend only using every other night and applying over the top of the Regimen BP and moisturizer. It will still be effective!
