Blackheads are small, dark bumps that form when your pores get clogged with oil and dead skin. Though harmless, they can be stubborn—especially for men with facial hair.
They're most common on the face but can also appear on the chest, back, shoulders, and neck.
Removing blackheads in men is relatively simple. With some good habits, targeted products, and a little dose of our Blemish Serum, you won’t just beat blackheads, you’ll prevent them.
Removing blackheads starts by understanding them.
Blackheads form when a hair follicle becomes clogged or plugged. Each follicle contains one hair and a sebaceous gland, which produces oil. This oil (sebum) helps keep your skin soft.
Dead skin cells and oil collect in the opening (your pores), creating a bump. If these stay closed, it remains a whitehead. However, when it opens up, the air exposure causes it to become black.
Blackheads are related to:
A go-to in many cleansers, salicylic acid clears out dead skin and oil before they clog your pores. Most products contain 0.5%–5%, but it can be drying—start every other day to see how your skin reacts.
Derived from vitamin A, retinoids boost cell turnover and keep pores clear. Some are available over the counter, but stronger ones require a prescription. Use at night, as they increase sun sensitivity.
Professional blackhead extraction uses precise tools to safely remove buildup. DIY kits exist, but most dermatologists advise against at-home attempts to avoid scarring.
Often used for sun damage and mild scarring, peels can also clear pores and encourage new skin growth. Done in-office, they use acids like salicylic, glycolic, or retinoic—and can cause irritation, so consult a pro.
Used correctly, skin brushes exfoliate and help reduce buildup. But improper use can worsen acne. Always follow expert advice and moisturise afterwards.
Look for the "noncomedogenic" label on cleansers, moisturisers, and makeup—they're formulated not to clog pores, helping prevent blackheads.

Prevention is always better than the cure. Blackheads might feel like they come out of nowhere. But there are some very common things we do that massively increase the risk.

Certain foods can also increase the risk of acne. Common culprits include skimmed milk, chocolate, and carbohydrate-rich foods.
Beneath your beard, your skin works hard to stay balanced—but oil buildup, clogged pores, and irritation can lead to stubborn blemishes.

Whether you're battling beard bumps or simply aiming for smoother skin, this serum rolls on easily and begins to soothe within hours. With consistent use, redness fades, texture improves, and blemishes heal faster. It’s gentle, effective, and crafted for beards that don’t want to sacrifice skin health.
Blackheads form when pores get clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and debris. When the clog is exposed to air, it oxidises and turns dark—hence the name.
Facial hair can trap oil and dead skin, making it harder for pores to stay clear. Without regular exfoliation or cleansing, blackheads can easily form beneath your beard.
It’s tempting—but not recommended. Squeezing can damage the skin, cause scarring, or push bacteria deeper. A targeted serum is a safer way to treat them.
Not at all. Blackheads are more about oil and skin turnover than hygiene. Even people with clean skin can get them due to hormones, genetics, or grooming habits.
With consistent use of a good serum, many people see reduced blackheads and smoother skin in just a few days to a week.

In our quest to bring our enchanting formulas to a global audience, we embarked on an imaginative journey to reshape our products. Shipping hemp products internationally brought with it a labyrinth of restrictions, prompting us to craft a new blend without compromising the soul of our creations. By excluding hemp ingredients, we opened the possibility for rainbows and scents to travel unfettered across borders. The heart of our brand persists, filled with intoxicating aromas and enchanting blends that enhance experiences universally. Thus, the beloved character of our products remains vibrantly intact, ready to tantalize senses worldwide.
Throughout this reformulation, we also seized the opportunity to make our products more hypoallergenic by removing nut oils. This thoughtful alteration broadens the accessibility of our line, welcoming even those with nut sensitivities. Our choice to incorporate rosehip and safflower oil was no whimsical endeavor; these oils are famed for their enchanting properties. Rosehip oil, rich in vitamins and antioxidants, fosters the skin's radiance and charm, while safflower oil, revered for its lightweight, non-comedogenic nature, ensures a gentle, soothing touch. Together, they promise an experience as authentic as it is revitalizing, draped in warmth and genuine care.
