Properly removing blackheads: 5 tips for visibly clearer skin

Blackheads form when sebum and dead skin cells accumulate in the pores and oxidize on the surface. With the right routine, you can get rid of them – without aggressive squeezing.

1. Never squeeze with your fingers

This pushes bacteria deeper into the pore and can cause inflammation and scarring. Instead, rely on gentle, targeted methods.

2. Cleanse regularly but gently

Twice a day with a mild cleanser removes excess sebum without damaging the skin barrier.

3. Focus on deep cleansing

A pore vacuum with vacuum and ultrasonic technology removes blackheads and sebum from deep within – in a controlled and more hygienic way than manual squeezing. Always start with the lowest suction level.

4. Soothe after cleansing

A toner or light moisturizer completes the pore routine and calms the skin.

5. Stay consistent

One to two applications per week are sufficient. Overdoing it will only irritate the skin.

For deep cleansing at home, we developed the POREVA Pore Vacuum – with three suction levels and an ultrasonic function for every skin type.
