I'd maybe try that in addition to first steaming your face to loosen everything.

The first couple of times I used strips, I saw maybe one or two blackheads, but it's been years and I've never had those results again! I'm not sure, maybe pore size has something to do with it, because I used them on my bf, who has huge pores and a lot of his blackheads came out. The question is do they still help by removing dead skin or even hairs (that the blackheads nest in the roots of) or is it not worth it? I totally relate!

I've found manuka honey smeared on works far better, and it's a lot cheaper (and tasty too). A baking soda paste also works rather well (but does not taste as nice).

I find them useless unless I do this, but with it I get heaps of gunk out try steaming your face before you apply the strip as well – I know this is gross but I know on my skin it helps to ‘push’ the blackheads a little bit out, ready to be captured by the pore strips.
