- Q
When I look up black head treatment this comes up!! do you think it would work for SEVERE black heads? But if it is for severe black heads does it remove the cause of the black head or does it just help the pore? Also, when to expect results? Thank you!
- Asked by Ab's
- Official Answer By Hero Cosmetics - Brand EngageThank you for your inquiry! Hero™ Cosmetics Pore Release can be used as a spot treatment or all over the face. Start with 2–3 applications per week to clear blackheads, then reduce to 1–2 times weekly to maintain results. While it won't completely eliminate blackheads, it helps dissolve buildup for clearer, refined pores. For best results, pair it with Hero™ Nose Patches to boost blackhead-fighting power.Was this answer helpful to you

Made my blackheads worse
I have blackheads on my nose that i want to get rid of and I really wanted this product to work for me but unfortunately it not only made the blackheads on my nose more pigmented/noticeable, even more started popping up and spreading on parts of my nose that didn't have them before. Also my nose can get pretty oily especially over the summer but for some reason this made my nose wetter than the ocean lol… i dont have sensitive skin and I've never had a bad reaction to the many skincare products that I've tried over the years so I'm not sure what the real issue was. I used the product 2/3 times a week for 2 weeks.
Finally something that works!
Using this after Pore-fessionals clay mask and ove finally found a combination that works! I can only use it twice a week or my skin will get very scaley
works great!
I loved this toner. It doesn't completely clean out my pores (i do it like the instructions) but i do notice it shrinks my pores.

LOVEEE
I bought this thinking this would be another one of those products that says that it unclogs your pores and then didn't work but it actually did! I pleasantly surprised! My pores look smaller and clean! Only bad thing is it takes more than one use for it to work and it might sting a little bit, but I use the elf thirst burst drops or the milk blue cooling stick after it and it doesn't sting at all. Highly recomend! I love this!
