Astringents are a type of skin care product that can help with blackheads. Astringents work by drying out the surface of your skin, which helps to shrink pores and remove excess oil. This helps to prevent blackheads from forming or removes them if they have already formed.

Astringents are available in many forms, including lotions, creams and sprays. There are also astringents that can be used as facial cleansers or toners. These products often contain alcohol or other ingredients that can be harsh on sensitive skin types. If you have sensitive skin, look for an astringent that is labeled as “sensitive skin friendly” or “non-drying.”

Some people use toothpaste to treat their blackheads because of its antibacterial properties and ability to dry out excess oils on the surface of the skin. Toothpaste also contains ingredients that may help reduce inflammation caused by pimples or ingrown hairs.
