I have combination skin, not so many visible blackheads whatsoever. This product did nothing to make my skin better or worse. You can feel a certain texture while massaging it in for 10 minutes or so (which I recommend) but that could be because of manual exfoliation. The blackheads and whiteheads situation that I did have is slowly improving but I also use other products for it. So it's up to you if you want to try something different to remove them. I also recommend using this product before actually cleansing the face. Maybe you'll see better results after using it for a certain amount of time, but keep in mind that if you want instantly visible change, this may not be for you.
