7 Best Korean Skincare Products to Get Rid of Blackheads

7 Best Korean Skincare Products to Get Rid of Blackheads

Oh, what we wouldn’t give to get rid of blackheads once, and for all. But no. Disgusting little black dots are all-time niggling skincare issues. And maybe you tried all the known products for blackhead removal clay mask, toner, cleanser the list goes on. Yet, it keeps coming back (or shockers - it just stays). Simple as that. So before you bust out your mirror and start popping blackheads like it's a game, hear me out. Because we’re the same — trapped in an endless quest of unclogging our pores of dirt, I rounded up the eight best Korean skincare products for blackhead removal that really do the work (AMAZINGLY!) And, products you can now score at Go Bloom & Glow. 

 

But let me tell you first what EXACTLY is a blackhead. Aside from the noticeable rough texture of these irksome clusters, blackheads are actually results of clogged mixture dead skin cells and oil - among other things. Unlike whiteheads, blackheads are open on the skin's surface. When the pores are left open, it can give chance for this little plug of gunk to oxidize and turn black. Long story short, it is more irritating because it’s more noticeable in our skin. As promised, here’s our list of the best Korean skincare products to get rid of blackheads:

 

  • 1. Innisfree Super Volcanic Pore Clay Mask 2x

  • First up is the powerful Innisfree Super Volcanic Pore Clay Mask 2x. This is claimed to be one of the best treatment clay masks in Korea. It boasts a 6-in-1 pore power backed up by super volcanic cluster capsules that can absorb sebum and cleanse pores. Yep. We’re talking about the famous Jeju volcanic clay here. This ingredient is made from minerals released by volcanic explosions in Jeju (just as the name suggests).  No wonder, the extract has some magical purifying properties that draw out sebum from the pores.

    But, there’s more. Innisfree Super Volcanic Pore Clay Mask 2x also contains AHA ingredient that gently exfoliates dead skin cells and in turn, smoothen out the skin.


    Katelyn: This product is very cooling! I let it stay on my face for 10 minutes, and its cooling effect is very refreshing. I love how it didn’t dry my skin after using it. I felt like my pores are cleaned after washing it. It also left my skin soft and smooth. It also has an instant brightening effect! ❤️

    2. COSRX BHA Blackhead Power Liquid

    One of the Korean skincare products' holy grail COSRX BHA Blackhead Power Liquid really live up to the hype. Made with betaine salicylate to fight acne-causing bacteria, this oil-soluble liquid deeply cleanses through sebum. Unlike products formulated from AHAs that only water-soluble and only reach on the skin surface, COSRX BHA Blackhead Power Liquid softens blackheads and exfoliates dead skin cells.

    Not only it can effectively reduce blackheads and excess sebum, but it also improves overall radiance.

     

    Lauramiks: Lesser blackheads! I have been battling with a major blackhead problem for quite a while and I have tried everything from different brand of nose strips to the comedone remover. This does not make my face sting and it does not cause any irritation. It is very gentle on the face and having used it for a week, I have seen my blackheads shrink and become smaller.

I easily get clogged pores (I'm perpetually plagued by comedones and blackheads.), but this miracle product help keeps them at bay, which is a huge help for an oily-skinned gal like me! I also like its effect upon application, it makes my face appear so smooth. This is also perfect for toner masking! How I do it: I pour some of the product on a cotton pad and leave it on my cheeks for 5 mins--the cooling sensation is so refreshing! Will keep on using this and hoping that it will help diminish the appearance of my large pores.
