Blackheads, or open comedones, form when excess sebum mixes with dead skin cells and clogs the pores, creating plugs that darken upon contact with air (Harvard Health Publishing, Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology). Additional contributing factors include irregular or improper facial cleansing with unsuitable products, hormonal fluctuations that stimulate sebaceous gland activity and promote new comedone formation (Mayo Clinic), as well as exposure to polluted environments, where toxins, dust, and exhaust fumes settle on the skin, penetrate the pores, and worsen its overall condition (Environmental Health Perspectives).

Prevention requires regular cleansing tailored to your skin type, the use of seboregulating and hydrating care, and the inclusion of mild exfoliants and masks that prevent excessive sebum from accumulating in the pores (American Academy of Dermatology). This approach reduces the likelihood of new comedones, improves skin texture, and helps maintain a fresh and healthy appearance.

Over-cleansing with harsh scrubs and alcohol-based toners disrupts the skin’s natural balance, dries it out, and stimulates even more sebum production (Harvard Health Publishing). Skipping moisturizer leads to dehydration, which once again triggers sebaceous glands to overproduce oil (Cleveland Clinic). Using comedogenic cosmetics with heavy textures clogs pores and causes inflammation, while the habit of squeezing blackheads often results in infection, acne, and scarring (Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology).

Choose gentle cleansing products, such as Salipil Purifying Cleansing Gel with salicylic acid and niacinamide, which deeply cleanse pores and reduce inflammation without disrupting the skin’s hydro-lipid barrier (Cosmetic Dermatology Research Journal). Maintain proper hydration with lightweight mattifying products like Acnell 50+ Cream, which regulates sebum production and does not clog pores. To prevent blackheads, use Salipil Peel-Off Mask, which purifies and prevents pore blockage, and for delicate exfoliation choose Aquapil Exfoliating Cleanser with aloe vera, which gently removes dead skin cells (International Journal of Cosmetic Science).

With regular use of Canova’s professional skincare line, the skin becomes clearer and more even, blackheads disappear, breakouts occur less frequently, and sebum production is normalized, reducing oily shine (Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology). The texture of the skin becomes smoother, and it acquires a healthier, well-groomed appearance. Canovaproducts have clinically proven efficacy, and delivery throughout Estonia ensures that the necessary skincare arrives quickly and conveniently.
