Comedone extractors – also called blackhead removers or comedone squeezers – remove blackheads and clogged pores without squeezing the skin with your fingers. The loop is placed over the blackhead and pressed on with light, even pressure; the surrounding skin is spared.
Which shape for what?
- Small loops – straight or curved – for fine blackheads on the nose and chin.
- Thin and medium loop on one instrument for pores of different sizes.
- Large loop for forehead, cheeks and back.
- Blackhead extractor for pimples and larger impurities.
- Combination instruments with nail cleaner, cuticle pusher or cotton hook for cosmetic and foot care practices.
Cleanse the skin beforehand and open the pores with a warm compress; disinfect the instrument before and after use. All comedone extractors are made of stainless steel – the 5-piece set brings the common shapes together.
