does not irritate my skin [SEP] a few months ago i got a vanity mirror that magnifies times until then i did not know that i had a blackhead problem i do not always have blackheads so i do not use this every morning but when i do notice blackheads i use this for a few days until they are gone the product is white and has a very fine grit to it the grit scrubs away the blackheads it does not hurt or irritate my skin it does not take a lot for each use so it should last a while
