Complexion Extractor with Lance

Sephora Brand Complexion Extractor with Lance

The Sephora Complexion Extractor with Lance has a stainless steel lancet for piercing whiteheads and a ring for pressing out blackheads.To use: Prior to using the Complexion Extractor with Lance, steaming the face, or using a hot water compress is strongly recommended to help soften comedones. This will make them much easier to remove.When you're ready to begin the extraction process lay the looped side on top of the blackhead - basically encircling this area with the loop. Apply slow and even pressure lightly until the trapped sebum is forced out of the follicle. Do not continue to attempt the extraction if the trapped sebum is not released easily. Applying too much force can cause infection and scarring.When piercing a whitehead, wait until the whitehead breaks open, then gently roll the tool over the whitehead. Be sure to disinfect the area when finished and clean your tool off with alcohol or hot water.A deep, cystic pimple should not be opened with the lancet. When dealing with deep acne, it's best to visit a dermatologist. A doctor may use a sterile needle, but only after a pustule has formed. Additional treatments depend on the severity of the acne.

Can be difficult to use. - 11.17.09
The lance side is easy to use, but the ring side takes some practice. I haven't quite gotten it down yet.

Happy with the tool. - 11.08.09
But need to use it gently or results are traumatic on the already troubled skin.

I feel like a dermatologist! - 11.05.09
Quick Take: safe, effective

I have never tried one of these gizmos before, but I have developed pretty bad acne. Something will pop-up overnight, and will be to the point of popping if I touch it, so I decided I might as well "extract" the zit in a more professional manner. It is so simple to use, and doesn't leave gaping holes on your face or anything. I would recommend it.

blackhead extractor - 11.01.09
Although good in theory, this does not work. I bought it for my son because he just started getting blackheads. It did not work for him : (

Not great - 10.06.09
Quick Take: flawed in design

The loop type extractor works far better than this one. The hole is small, and the way it's designed, you can't really tell if you are on the right spot before you press. Well made, but for blackhead extraction, go with the loop type extractor.

I find I do a lot less damage to my face when I use this. Normally I pick until I bleed, with this, its a much smaller area, and I have less scabs.

Check extractor first. - 10.04.09
I have recently purchased the extractor, which works quite well on my boyfriend and I. However, I do warn people to check the extractor head completely before purchasing. The first one I had picked up (and didn't realize at the time) had incredible sharp edge; store had no problem returning for another (took a quite a few feels before I was satisfied). The lance end is VERY sharp and works great! Overall, pretty decent purchase.

I purchased this for a birthday gift. She is a nurse and YELLS at people for using their hands to touch their face/blemishes. SHE LOVES this product. Very easy to use!

Quick Take: difficult to use

I think I should have purchased the extractor with the flat metal loop at the end. This one is difficult to use, because you can't see into the hole.

Wasn't sure but glad I tried it - 09.29.09
Quick Take: amazing

After reading the other reviews I was a bit weary about this product. All of that was tossed out when I used it for the first time. I love this product. Gone are the days of popping pimples with dirty finger nails. Now my face looks clearer because I get rid of pimples without touching my face.

It's probably more affective for really small blackheads. Not as affective as I was hoping for, and sometimes don't bother using it anyway

This is a product I returned. The extractor worked decently although the angle for firm pressing was odd. The lance was a disappointment as it was not sharp at all. I had been using a straight pin which does a much better job

THE BEST EXTRACTOR! - 09.07.09
I am a licensed esthetician and I can not get through my teen facials without the use of Sephora's Complexion Extractor. I suggest to all my young clients that this tool is a must have. It is so much safer to use than other extraction tools or your dirty fingertips. The pimples just pop right out!
