Blackheads are not supposed to be squeezed out because it can irritate the skin, there is an easy event by melting blackheads. This product is easy to use & the results are good. It actually melts blackheads in 15 minutes & after that the blackheads are easy to extract painlessly. So far it is safe & does not irritate the skin. The result is that clogging pores from layer up dead skin cells & impurities are lifted so that the skin becomes clean. I really like this.
