Sucks the skin, but doesn’t really suck out pores!
This is a great concept and I wanted this to work for me. I wanted to have a “Dr. Pimplepopper” moment where I saw my blackheads getting sucked out of their little crevices. It just didn’t happen.<br /><br />I did pause and ask myself if maybe the issue is I don’t have any blackheads to suck out...but then I chuckled to myself because I definitely do. They aren’t robust blackheads. They are tiny but my nose definitely has them.<br /><br />This thing does have some suction power so you can’t leave it in the same spot for too long or you can get a mini-Hickie. So the idea is once it sucks onto your skin you need to move it along somewhere else to avoid hickies. It does feel weird and my hope was I would look at it afterward and the little suction cup would be filled with all sorts of icky goodness but no such luck. When I use Biore strips I can definitely pull blackheads out and visibly see them.<br /><br />At this point I was dismayed so I somehow convinced my husband who has no skincare regiment whatsoever...to let me try it on his nose and forehead. He’s such a brave soul and I think deep down he may have been a bit curious himself. And again....no blackhead remover. Not possible. I love him but he does have blackheads. Now I knew the thing wasn’t working. I mean it sucks with gusto but somehow just doesn’t seem to suck out of pores all that well.<br /><br />Sad days. This was not the show I had hoped for.
