Hi,

That’s a good question! Blackheads, or open comedones, are bumps or plugs comprised of keratin and oil excreted by the sebaceous gland, that accumulate in the hair follicle duct. This accumulation blocks the skin pores and eventually turns black due to oxidation. For more information on Blackhead and blackhead management, please click here.

If you have more questions, please don’t hesitate to contact our Customer Service Team on 1800 033 706 or email us through customerservice@egopharm.com.

Kind regards,
