Blackheads are one of the most common forms of acne.
Although people who have oily skin are more vulnerable to blackheads, anyone can get them.They form when pores become clogged with a combination of dead skin cells and excess oil (sebum) from your sebaceous glands.
“The good news is that there is a cornucopia of over-the-counter products that contain effective ingredients to exfoliate, soften, and even remove blackheads,” says Allison Britt Kimmins, MD, MPH.
