How to effectively remove blackheads – choose the right tool

To remove blackheads quickly and thoroughly, we recommend using a professional blackhead remover . These instruments are also used in professional cosmetics – including those from Excellent Solingen . Our product range has been continuously developed based on customer feedback.

Comedone loop – ideal for targeted removal

The comedone loop has a loop at the end and is available in various designs:

• Large, one-sided loop : Particularly suitable for treating larger blackheads – e.g., on the back or legs.
• Small, single-sided loop : For precise work on the face. This variant is gentle on the skin, as targeted pressure is possible.

Double-ended comedone loops are also available. These feature a loop of different sizes at each end for versatile applications.

Examples:

Comedone extractor with a single-sided loop for larger skin impurities Comedone extractor with two different loops and octagonal handle

Comedone extractors & comedone squeezers – alternatives to the loop

Unlike a loop, a comedone extractor has a ring-shaped loop . Different shapes also exist:

• Curved ends : Well suited for hard-to-reach places.
• Straight ends : For precise removal in the facial area.
