There are many ways to remove blackheads, many of which are potentially harmful to skin and can cause more damage than good. Redness, irritation and peeled skin are just some of the collateral damage caused by using some blackhead removal products. While extraction is fast and can remove just about all blackheads, it can also cause enlarged pores.
Mandelic acid is commonly found in blackhead removal products as this ingredient can effectively remove blackheads. Mandelic acid increases the metabolism of surface skin cells to achieve effective results in whitening and blackhead removal. However, a long term usage of mandelic acid may result in peeling and thinning of the skin as well as increased vulnerability and sensitivity.
Dr. Hsieh Chien-Yang, (Ph.D in Biomedical Engineering) a medical doctor from the Neogence R&D team from Taiwan was in town recently to introduce Neogence’s products formulated specifically for blackhead removal to members of the media. The last time I saw Dr. Hsieh was in 2011 when he introduced Neogence’s hydrating range, that was when Neogence first became available in Sasa. Dr. Hsieh doesn’t look like he’s aged a day since 2011 so Neogence must be really working for him.
Neogence formulated a range of skincare to help overcome the problem of eradicating blackheads without harming or stimulating the skin. The Neogence R & D team, which is comprised of dermatologists, doctors of biomedicine and pharmacists have conducted in-depth research on the procedural mechanism and causes that lead to blackhead formation.
Innovative biotech active ingredients were used to formulate all-new blackhead eradication products. After two years of meticulous testing, the Extremely Off-Heads Serum pH5.5 and Deep Pore Cleansing Mask were launched. These two products routinely applied will help dissolve blackheads on a strawberry-like blackheads infested nose without causing damage to skin.
Dr. Hsieh applied the Deep Pore Cleansing Mask on his nose, the mask is recommended for use on specific areas of concern. It has a pore cleansing formula of natural clay and charcoal powder. It removes blackheads and dead skin cells and deeply cleanses pores.
When the black mask changes to grey, it’s time to rinse off!
The Extremely Off Heads Serum pH5.5 contains the following key ingredients:-
Willow Bark Extract : eliminates old cuticles and dirt around the edges of pores
Glycacid : dissolves blackheads
A.C. Net™ : inhibition of keratinocyte proliferation
Neogence claims that continued use of Extremely Off Heads Serum pH5.5 and the Deep Pore Cleansing Mask for two weeks can significantly reduce the formation of acne. Other products in this range include:-
Anti-Blemish Treatment Gel with oil-control formula & oil-free hydrating formula. With Hazel Leaf Extract tightens pores.
Pore Purifying Cleansing Gel has an alkaline-free and oil-free formula for mild cleansing.
Extreme Pore-Reducing Serum has 3 major functions of oil control, moisturizing and firming & tightening enlarged pores.
