Did not get rid of blackheads or reduced pores size [SEP] I really wanted this product to work. I have used it as directly for over a month and unfortunately it did not get rid of my blackheads or reduced the size of my pores. It does leave the skin soft and clean which is why I kept it, but the blackheads remained. So far, the only thing that has helped me keep those annoying blackheads off my nose is extraction.
