Double-Ended Blemish Extractor

Sephora Brand Double-Ended Blemish Extractor

Sephora's long-handled Stainless Steel Double Loop Extractor is two-sided, featuring a small loop for white heads and a flat side to extract blackheads.To use: Prior to using the Double Ended Blemish Extractor, 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 preferred side on top of the blemish - 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. Use the small loop for whiteheads and the flat side for blackheads. A deep, cystic pimple should not be opened with a loop extractor. 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.

Yucky but in a good way - 11.16.09
I've never used one of these before. This thing works great. Keeps you from using your fingers to squeeze. I like to draw out the blemish with DDF sulfur mask and then take it completely out with this tool. Works on blackheads too.

not quite sure what to make of this - 11.11.09
i'm sure if you're a professional, with a face steamer, this would come in handy. however, a non-pro like me, likes the other extractor with the tiny hole and that has a "stabbing point" on the other end - much more efficient and easy to use than this loopy thing on pimples (i know, i know, it's for white heads and black heads and you're not supposed to pop pimples - but really, c'mon, who doesn't??)

Overpriced - 11.07.09
This was the only option carried by my local sephora, but I ended up returning it - too large, not precise, and twice the price of the one made by Tweezerman, which I have since purchased at Sally Beauty Supply.

maybe I'm just lame & a wussy? - 10.28.09
I thought this would be...relatively easy to figure out and sure, maybe a wee bit painful but ... MAN!
College did nothing to prepare me, I was outwitted by this metal stick. I did what the instructions said - didn't do anything, even though I tried really hard to extract something...I think my BRAINS would be coming out before any white or black heads. I made a mark on my face worse than any whitehead. Grrr. If this works for you, hats off to you. I sent it back.

have persistent acne and I use this almost every day. My acne is clearing up a bit, most likely because I am not popping my pimples with my fingers anymore!

This product definitely works which gives it 4 stars. I think the whitehead extractor works better than the blackhead side. The only reason why I didn't give it 5 stars is because it made my skin a lot worse, probably because I got a little carried away and tried to extract every little blemish I saw and didn't close my pores well enough which caused major cystic breakouts. I would recommend this product to people who REALLY know what they are doing!

Great Product! - 10.19.09
I've read the other reviews to this product and had to write something in for people considering buying this or who have bought it but say it doesn't work. The key to using the product is to make sure your sking is really hydrated. Make sure your'e drinking enough water, dehydated skin makes it twice as difficult to remove blackheads. Another tip is to use this right after a shower or facial steam (hot water and a bowl work just as well as pricey steamers) after youve cleansed/exfoliated and your pores are open. It really is a great little product and much better than trying to use your fingers.

It seems like the ends are both rather large, could be smaller for small blemishes. Kind of pricey for what it is.

Quick Take: handy, precise, blemish-clearing, purse-friendly

This is the PERFECT tool to have before dates, in the morning, or right before exfoliation. The Sephora blemish extractor helps me rid my complexion of blackheads that are too deep or large to be removed by scrubs or facial puffs. After using this for a few days, I noticed that my complexion became more clear, as the blackheads I removed with the extractor no longer had the chance to be huge date-ruining zits. I feel so much better with my skin smooth and clear from blackheads and whiteheads. This really cleared up my complexion and boosted my confidence!

This was a joke - 10.06.09
I purchased this, because I thought it would really work. ...NOT. It bruised my skin, and I said to myself, I could do better with out it. It might work for someone else, but I was highly dissapointed.

Good, but it depends on your skin... - 10.06.09
This product works very well if you have big pores and a skin that allows blckheads to come out easily.
If you have small pores like me, you can feel some pain and not get many results as expected.
The tips are a little bit big and might not focus where you want. It requires a little training/...
Put your face near steam before using or take a shower...it helps.

I enjoyed my double-ended blemish extractor and the person that helped me find it was really awesome. Everyone in the store isn't that nice or tends to give you any attention so I appreciate the mans service towards me!

My daughters bought these a few years ago to take care of their skin in between facials. We can't keep them in the house because their friends love them and they end up disappearing. Highly recommend this product.

I have a lot of trouble with blackheads in hard to sqeeze places, including the sides of my nose. This works great on those. Haven't had much luck on the few whiteheads I've had but I'd definitely recommend this to anyone with blackheads!

I was able to extract a decent size blackhead with ease, so it paid for itself on one because the dermatologist co pay for me is $20.00, however, I have had a hard time with the smaller ones

perfectionists: proceed with caution - 09.29.09
seriously addictive and satisfying but possibly damaging. Leaves red indent for a while after pressing down on skin.... not sure of long term effect. It does make it possible to push out some otherwise impossible blackheads effectively though.
