12 Best Blackhead Remover Tools For Channeling Your Inner Dr. Pimple Popper (2024)

This ultrasonic device features three different modes and uses up to 24,000 vibrations per second to help de-gunk pores and loosen up blackheads. Plus, it helps your favorite serums penetrate deeper into the skin for better results.

Rave review: "I noticed a huge difference in my skin after just one use on the cleansing mode! Even after a few hours later I looked at my face and really could not believe what a difference it had made. I would absolutely recommend to anyone with problem skin, texture issues, and oily skin."

Sure, this tool is quite the investment, but it’s a multitasker that will undoubtedly come in handy. Use Extract Mode to remove dirt, oil, and blackheads and Infuse mode to help your favorite skincare seep in. It's easy to use—simply press the power button once to activate extract mode (press it twice for “infuse” mode) and apply gentle yet firm pressure while gliding the device over your face and neck.

Rave review: "This stuff is worth its weight in gold. I use it every other day and it’s gentle enough but effective also. I went to get a facial and my facialist, whom I’ve been going to for years was amazed at how clear my skin was! You won’t regret it."

You can actually embrace your inner Dr. Pimple Popper with this official Dr. P extractor tool. It features a large loop for getting at blackheads and a smaller loop to tackle whiteheads, too. It's nice and compact, so you'll have no trouble stashing it in your toiletry bag.

Rave review: "Great blackhead remover tool. Design works better than others I have purchased in the past. Thanks Dr. Sandra."

For a really reasonable price point, try this tool, which curves around the blackhead to put pressure on it. It's extra sharp for precision removal, so just be super cautious.

Rave review: "It's so light weight but perfect for even the smallest blemish! I have one in every bag I travel with!!"

A tweezer-inspired extractor tool like this one is doubly effective when it comes to squeezing the blackhead from both sides. All you have to do is press, squeeze, roll, and lift.

Rave review: "I like all Tweezerman products. They are all high quality and solid. These tweezers are no exception. They do work well for extracting blackheads. The best feature is the design of the hook/curved end. It is more rounded along the edge which makes it safer to use. It doesn't cut the skin when you apply pressure."

If you prefer to have extracting options when removing your blemishes, this is the kit for you. It comes with six different stainless-steel tools that help to help remove those stubborn blackheads. And, the carrying case makes it easier to keep these tools clean and free of bacteria in between uses.

Rave review: "Great set. A necessity to have around the house. I always travel with one. Comes in a nice little case that holds everything in place. I've bought 2 just to have on hand."

A facial steamer may not be the most common option for removing blackheads, but hear us out: This steamer is a good primer for extractions, since it helps to prep and soften skin. It will make your extractions a whole lot easier.

Rave review: "I didn't know they made these steamers for home use, so I just had to try it. This did a very good job of opening my pores so I could then go over my face with the tools they supply to clean out my pores. After steaming I used face strips to remove what was left in my pores, which really wasn't very much at all.

This device uses blue light pulse technology said to kill acne-causing bacteria. It’s easy to use while targeting blemishes in as little as 30 seconds.

Rave review: "Appears to be working! I have only been using this for 3 weeks but when I use it consistantly, morning and night, my acne goes away MUCH faster."

Gone are the days when you had to visit a dermatologist for proper microdermabrasion. This tool purportedly exfoliates deeper than a traditional physical scrub and vacuums impurities, dirt, and debris out of the skin.

Rave review: "This is singlehandedly the most impressive device I have used. In 6 weeks it has transformed my skin."

This three-speed device is said to buff away dead skin cells, while the vacuum suction targets congested areas, helping to purify your pores. Not to mention, how sleek is this marble design?

Rave review: "This definitely works! I’ve used it quite a few times, but the last time I used it I exfoliated my face beforehand and the results were so gross! In a good way though."

If you’re new to removing your own blackheads, you may want to try a fuss-free tool like this one. It’s dual-ended with one side to remove whiteheads and the other that works on blackheads.

Rave review: "I use the product as a extraction tool to gently get gunk outta my pores. Would recommend, much cleaner than using your hands."

For those who want the option of suction or extraction, this kit is a solid choice. With five adjustable suctions, you can use it for removing various sizes of blackheads all over the face and body. Plus, it comes with a USB cord for easy charging.

Rave review: "This is a great tool to use in conjuction with retinol products and freshly washed skin. I only use on the hot spots for clogged pores where blackheads would normally form — T zone."
