A sturdy stainless-steel blackhead removal tool that comes with three different extractors: a small loop, an angled loop, and a lancet. The angled loop caps onto the lancet for safe storage. While we do not encourage the use of lancets on acne or blackheads, this lancet is expertly designed to be a bit safer than traditional needle-like lancets. For most blackheads, the small loop tool will work perfectly. Remember, don't go overboard on a stubborn blackhead. Instead, apply treatment and wait until it is ready.
