Here's how use your Blackheads Strips for best results!
Step 1 - Cleanse your face using your skin to remove dirt, oil, and bacteria. Using a medicated cleanser with Salicylic Acid (such as the cleanser in the MDacne Treatment Kit) will help to softening the blackheads and prepare them for easy removal.
Step 2 - Use *clean* hands to dampen your nose and apply the strip. Your nose should be very wet (dripping water) when you apply the strip. Wait 10-15 minutes until the strip hardens and gently remove.
Step 3 - Apply your medicated acne treatment to the entire areas affected with acne to prevent future blackheads and pimples from forming.
How Often to Use: You can use your Blackheads Strips once a week to prevent skin irritation.
