3 anti-blackhead products.

A healthy, blemish-free skin is primarily a well-groomed skin, with gentle care tailored to its type. Therefore, it is only natural that your fight against blackheads begins with a deep cleanse. Wash your face morning and/or evening to remove impurities according to your skin type. However, don't settle for just any cleansing product. Indeed, it would be a shame to further damage your epidermis with harsh treatments that would trigger an abnormal production of sebum. Our nettle cleansing care or our charcoal soap are among the many treatments for blemish-prone skin that we offer. You can also opt for our exfoliating facial cleansing gel based on gluconolactone (PHA) and aloe vera or our purifying face cleanser with zinc PCA and bamboo extract.

In the evening, precede this step with a makeup removal, an essential part of any beauty routine. At Typology, we offer three types of makeup removers with different formulations, suitable for all skin types, even sensitive: cleansing oil, micellar water and cleansing balm. These treatments help to remove all traces of makeup, pollution, sunscreen and other impurities accumulated during the day, leaving the skin clean without drying it out. They are applied using a cotton pad previously soaked in the product or by hand, while gently massaging the skin.

Note : Open comedones can also develop on the back, chest or shoulders, areas of the body that are most rich in sebaceous glands. In this case, opt for a blemish-fighting shower gel concentrated in exfoliating actives (glycolic acid, mulberry acids, etc...) and purifying agents (tea tree extract, zinc PCA, rosemary essential oil, etc...) in order to unclog pores, reduce blemishes, and as a bonus, fight against the appearance of ingrown hairs by detaching dead skin cells.

As blackheads are largely due to the blockage of pores by dead skin cells, exfoliating the facial skin proves to be a way to combat them. We therefore recommend our peeling mask with organic red fruit acids. In addition to unclogging the pores of your face, this treatment softens, smooths your skin texture and brightens your complexion. Ideally, exfoliate once or twice a week, making sure to cleanse your face first. This process helps to rid your skin of the dead cells accumulated on its surface, thus reducing the risk of comedones. Exfoliation also promotes the renewal of skin cells. Apply it in a semi-thick layer on your face, then leave it on for 10 minutes. Before rinsing thoroughly with clear water, gently massage the skin with circular movements to activate mechanical exfoliation. This mask is suitable for all skin types, particularly dull skin lacking radiance, as well as skin prone to surface irregularities (rough skin, enlarged pores, blackheads, etc...).

For dry and reactive skin, it is generally recommended to use a grain-free scrub to avoid further damaging the epidermis. Our gentle peeling serum with lactic acid and acerola extract is a good alternative for making the facial skin smoother, brighter, and more uniform. Unlike glycolic acid, lactic acid, known for its exfoliating effect on the superficial layers of the skin, will penetrate less deeply into the epidermis and will therefore be less irritating than the latter. This treatment should be applied only in the evening, using 3 to 4 drops on a face that has been previously cleaned.

Adequate hydration helps to prevent the appearance of blackheads by regulating sebum production. Indeed, when the skin is under stress (due to dehydration), it is likely to produce more sebum, which promotes the appearance of blackheads. Similarly, just because you have combination or oily skin, it doesn't mean you should neglect hydration. Therefore, opt for a gentle treatment that suits your skin type. Whether in gel or cream form, this treatment should be applied daily.

oily skin , which experiences an excess of sebum and is therefore more prone to developing blackheads, should opt for matte moisturising creams . Due to its content of sebum-regulating and antibacterial active ingredients, our purifying face cream based on 4% zinc PCA and bamboo extract is ideal for moderating sebum secretion, refining skin texture and preventing the appearance of unsightly blackheads. It should be applied daily to clean, dry skin and over your face serum , making small circular movements during its application until the cream is fully absorbed. However, this cream is not recommended for pregnant and breastfeeding women due to the essential oils it contains. On the other hand, if you have dry or rather sensitive skin , our moisturising cream with 9 ingredients is more suitable.
