Well worth the (low) cost! PLUS: INFO ON HOW TO USE THE TOOLS!!
This blemish removal tool kit is a great value considering its quality, ease of use and low price. Each tool feels good and "weighty" in the hand, and each is strong and durable, being made of high-quality stainless steel--the very same metal of which dermatologists' tools are made. Despite the low price, I do not find these tools "cheap" at all; quite the contrary.<br /><br />Concerning their ease of use: for the many people who've used such things as Bobby pins and safety pins--much less their fingers and nails--to remove blemishes, these five tools make removing blemishes much easier. Their length gives more leverage and their handles are all textured, giving the user much better control.<br /><br />While it would be a good idea for the manufacturer to include a helpful set of instructions, my wife and I, as well as two of our teenage grandchildren, found them very easy and self-explanatory to use. And most importantly, we found them to be very effective.<br /><br />To clean them between uses, a quick rinse could suffice. (Since they're stainless steel, no worries about rusting.) If you feel more cleaning is necessary, simply use an antiseptic disinfectant solution--many of which brands can be found quite cheaply on Amazon.<br /><br />The zippered case that the tools come in is very soft to the touch. If it is indeed leather then it is very thin leather. But the case is otherwise well stitched and appears durable.<br /><br />One last tidbit: one of my teenage grandchildren asked what a "comedo" is. Comedo (plural = comedones) is the medical term a doctor, like a dermatologist, might use to describe a clogged hair follicle (pore). Blackheads and whiteheads are common examples of comedones.<br /><br />I received this kit at a discounted price in exchange for my HONEST review. My goal is to help prospective buyers make better informed decisions, and I will always "call 'em as I truly see 'em."<br />*********************************<br />Update, 3-13-16:<br />INFO ON HOW BEST TO USE THE TOOLS<br />This source, just brought to my attention by my wife, may be familiar to many of you. In any event, there is a doctor--a dermatologist--named Sandra Lee who is famously known as "Dr. Pimple Popper."  She has a slew of VERY popular YouTube videos which not only describe the "art" of pimple/blackhead extraction, but which also show her using the very same type of tools in this Remover Kit. In some of the videos, she actually shows you how to use these very tools. It's very good info and worth the watch--as long as you're not too easily grossed out. lol<br />Her YouTube videos can be found here:  [...]
