Why Do Blackheads Form?

Blackheads are a type of non-inflammatory acne that form when a pore becomes clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and debris. Unlike whiteheads, the pore stays open, and the trapped oil oxidises, turning black on the surface. They’re most common on the nose, chin, and forehead (the T-zone), but can appear anywhere there are pores. Blackheads can make skin look dull and uneven, but with the right treatments and at-home care, they can be cleared and kept under control long-term.

Common Causes of Blackheads

Excess Oil

Overactive sebaceous glands produce more oil, increasing the chance of clogged pores.

Dead Skin Build-Up

When skin cells aren’t shed effectively, they can block pores and trap oil inside.

Hormonal Changes

Hormonal shifts (like during puberty or menstrual cycles) can trigger more oil and blackhead formation.

Skincare & Environment

Using pore-blocking products, skipping cleansing, or exposure to pollution, humidity, and sweat can all clog pores. making blackheads more likely to form.

FAQ's

Why do blackheads keep coming back?

Blackheads often return because the underlying causes, like excess oil, clogged pores, or certain skincare habits, are ongoing. Without the right routine and treatments, pores can quickly become blocked again.

What are blackheads?

Blackheads are a type of non-inflammatory acne that form when a pore becomes clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and debris. Unlike whiteheads, the pore stays open and the trapped oil oxidises, turning black on the surface.

Can blackheads be removed permanently?

You can’t permanently stop blackheads, but you can greatly reduce them with consistent care. Treatments like professional extractions, hydradermabrasion, and peels help clear pores, while skincare keeps them under control.

What treatments help remove blackheads at Caci?

Caci offers treatments such as hydradermabrasion, signature peels, and skin infusions to deeply cleanse and unclog pores. Over time, these treatments improve texture and reduce the chance of blackheads forming again.

Do blackheads mean my skin is dirty?

No. Blackheads are not a sign of poor hygiene, they’re caused by oil and skin cells trapped in the pore. In fact, over-cleansing or using harsh scrubs can make them worse by irritating the skin.

How can I prevent blackheads at home?

Using non-comedogenic products, gentle exfoliation, and SPF all help. A customised skincare routine, paired with regular professional treatments, is the best way to keep pores clear and skin smooth.
