Are You Prone to Blackheads?

It's no wonder the choices in skin care products are seemingly endless, there are so many different types of skin - dry, oily, combination, normal, sensitive.  Some people will stay the same skin type for the whole of their lives whist others will under go skin changes due to age, hormones or their enviroment.  

Our skin type really depends on 3 factors - water content (affecting comfort and elasticity), oil/lipid content (affecting softness) and sensitivity level.  Younger skin is more likely to be affected by these things, notably the oil content.  Young skin is more prone to excess oil (particularly the T-zone) which is why we generally have more break outs and blackheads before we hit our mid-twenties. 

We're looking for a trial team to put a new cleanser to the test - its not released officially until the New Year, so this trial team will be among the first in NZ to try it!  What we can tell you - this is a charcoal cleanser.  Exciting!

To put your hand up, CLICK HERE take our quick survey telling us more about your skin type!

So tell us what kind of skin do you have?  Do you struggle to find products that work for your skin type or have you perfected your skin care routine?  What are the main concerns that come with your skin type?

You name it and I’ve tried it, blackheads are something that really seem to love my skin. I’m a lover of Pore strips but they always leave me wanting more.

My skin is all over the show at the moment. One week it is perfect and the next I have so many pimples! Not great for the confidence! I would love to trial this please. Ive used the garnier charcoal scrub which is amazing but can't find it anywhere which is annoying.

I’ll be turning 40 in January, and my very oily skin has just as many blackheads (if not more) than it did in my Teens and 20s

16th November, 2018

Yes. Been using the garnier one and it’s been ok so will definitely be keen to hear how this goes.

16th November, 2018

Yes! My oily-combo skin is super prone to blackheads and they drive me crazy!

16th November, 2018

I don't anymore now that I am old, but I have a teenage daughter who does. She also has super sensitive skin so it is tricky finding products that work well for her. Any recommendations would be muchly appreciated.

I have a dry sensitive skin so don't have a blachead problem.

16th November, 2018

I have oily skin so have all the problems that come with that - blackheads, breakouts. I have tried products that minimise some of the problems, but not completely. And whilst it is fun to squeeze blackheads occasionally, they leave an awful red mark!

I’m lucky that they are something I don’t typically get. My partner on the other hand is covered in them and nothing seems to work.

16th November, 2018

I'm almost out of cleanser but will sit this one out as it doesn't sound right for my skin type.

16th November, 2018

Nose, chin, between the brows! Too many blackheads to count. And some strips just give me dry skin so defeat the purpose of trying to get clear skin!

16th November, 2018

The opposite is true for me, I have had more breakouts this year than the rest of years combined ( I turn 29 next week). I'm not really sure why tbh. I have had a skin care routine since I was 10 but this year it's like my skin is going for gold. Needless to say I would like to be considered for this trial.

16th November, 2018

I would love to try this cleanser! I am yet to believe that a cleanser can truely remove/help with blackheads on a long term basis and I would love to be proven wrong!

16th November, 2018

Oh how I wish I'd outgrown blackheads with the disappearance of my 'younger' skin ! Still get them on my nose & chin and it doesn't seem to make much of a difference what I do!

16th November, 2018

Argg blackheads nothing works!!
