Blackheads are open comedones and are black because of surface pigment, rather than dirt. Like all forms of acne, they are largely hormone induced, but the incorrect use of topical products, dietary intake, smoking, and climatic conditions can also play a role in their development. Topical skincare solutions for effective blackhead treatment and removal include products with ingredients such as Benzoyl peroxide, Azelaic acid, Salicylic acid, Glycolic acid, and Retinol / Retinoids.
