I've tried the Sephora--the Revlon beats it, hands down. The thing that is wrong with this REVLON is its INSTRUCTIONS!!!
The instructions state that you should center your blackhead in the small hole at either end, then push down. If you do that, it just doesn't work. But, if you put the smooth edge of the end NEXT to the blackhead and push inwards towards the blackhead--sort of like a scooping action--it is amazingly effective, and a lot less painful than the Sephora. I handed one of these to my dermatologist, who was using a Sephora-like torture device. She was amazed at how much more effective this one was.
This baby has very smooth edges on both ends, making it almost painless on most blackheads. I have actually fallen asleep while having blackheads removed with the Revlon (and I've had plenty, sorry to say!). It will even dig out those dried out, persistent ones, which I get on my upper neck. Never has a blackhead escaped my ire with this tool--it will, with persistence, get the worst of the worst! Just remember--scooping action, forget the hole!
Ignore the instructions. Push from the side after a hot shower. This is the one. |
It works!

I've had one of these in my ditty bag for well over 15 years & have allways been pleased with it. Then it mysteriously disappeared. Probably one of the joys of having children... I checked all the drug & grocery stores & could not find a replacement, but Amazon had it. It looks & works just like the old one, great!
My technique has allways been to center the blackhead or pimple or pussy mosquito bite under the smallest hole that seems appropriate & apply massive pressure untill stuff pops thru the hole. Then if there's blood, put a dab of neosporin on it. |
It works

| I have used revlon's blackhead remover for years and it's the only thing that has worked for me. My face doesn't turn red so I think maybe some of you are pressing too hard. |
It works for me.

| I just go this blackhead remover from Amazon. It's an old Revlon design. I like it a lot. No bruising, no bleeding and it did what it should. I have some sensitive skin and If I would try to do the same thing "manually" I would be stuck with a huge red mark for a week. I tried to press carefully and rotate sides, trying larger and smaller holes to seek which one would work better. Looks like sometimes I needed to use both. Don't know how well it would work on the nose, but it worked well on chin and cheek. Have to make sure that the backhead is "ripe" and ready to go, thought. |
Grateful for this tool

I wish I'd had this baby a long time ago. It works great and does no damage to the skin. The Sephora is overpriced and doesn't work nearly as well.
Just be patient. Wash your face gently. Then place a warm washcloth over the blemish for five to ten minutes. If a head becomes visible, the Revlon will get the entire plug out of the pore. (You may choose to use a needle to nick the head before you use the Revlon.)
Never use your fingers again!

| I've used this little gadget for many years now and my toddler recently "misplaced" the one I had. After searching several retail stores, I couldn't find the exact model, so I ended up trying the newer Revlon blackhead remover with the loops. What a disaster! It was very ineffective, ripped my skin, etc. I was so happy to find my trusty stand-by online, and you can't beat the price for a pack of 2. |
Best Tool!!

| This blemish remover is the best! There is no comparison to the common looped tools. You can really get to the nastiest and deepest blackheads with complete removal. I am glad to find this particular style again. I would definately recommend it to teenagers. |
Simple product

My old room mate had this comodone extracor. we were both going through school to become esthetician's at the time so we tried any skin devices we could get our hands on.
well, to make a long story short after YEARS - literally- of closed comodones (the type of congestion that "brews" under the skin - usually suffered by people who have small pores)this tool pushed them out effortlessly, no skin ripping, just beautiful skin!
I used it like the instructions specified - apply the hole over the blemish & push, but depending on your type of congestion you may have to modify it a bit.
Hey, take a chance, it's only $8!!!
So if you suffer from "closed" comodones *when congestion get's trapped under the skin vs. blackhead or standard comodone aka when the congetion builds under the skin & stretches a pore you NEED this tool! |
Works in Specific Circumstances; Not Great Value

This little tool is no more than 2.5 inches and is incredibly light-weight. Once you see how this blackhead remover is so small, you may feel as I did that it's overpriced including shipping.
This tool works on parts of the skin where bone is right under. Skin over fleshy areas, such as the cheeks or on an arm for example, will be beyond the usefulness of this tool. However in some areas such as on each side of the upper nose, this tool works well. You can then press down on a ripe blackhead or whitehead and pop it through one of the holes that are on each end. This is definitely safer to the skin than squeezing under you're getting a professional facial. |
The best on the market

| This blackhead remover is not as good as the ones designed from the 1980's, but is the best on the market today. This blackhead remover has a small "cone" that extracts the blackhead. This is better than the "flat-head" design that similar products have. |
Gets the job done

I have used this on both myself and my husband. On him, it works great. On me, it just hurts and leaves little bruises.
I think it's a great idea, but for me the pain just wasn't worth it. |
It'll do

| This works best on larger pimples. It didn't work on my blackheads though. For the price I would try this before opting for another. |

| I was glad to finally find the Revlon Blackhead remover again. I had used it back in the 90's when it was available in retail stores. The old design had a funnel shape and was excellent at removing blackheads. The new design is too flat to remove anything. It causes swelling and doesn't make the blackhead pop out, or even rise to the surface. I am disappointed that they changed the design and made it inefficient. |
Kind of a pain

| I bought this because I have stubborn blackheads on my nose that wont seem to go away no matter how many biore strips I use or how many steam facials I do. But it didnt work for me. I followed the instructions and it just made my nose red and sore and didnt do anything. I may not be doing it right though. |
Don't waste your money

| Reviewer: Harrisongirl, |
| I don't have a very bad acne problem, just a couple of blackheads, and the occasional pimple, so I thought that this tool would be a good bet. Wrong. First, you can't center your smaller blemishes under the opening, because you can't SEE them through the hole. Then, when you finally find the right spot, press down, all I got was a big red spot with the pimple still in the middle. I didn't press too hard, my pores were sufficiently open, and the blemish was "ripe" so to speak. This thing just doesn't work. |

| I tried this tool and ended up with bruised skin and the same old blackheads. It is a waste of money. Try Sephora's extracting tool for results. |
