MEDIPEEL Extra Super 9 Plus Blackhead Out Nose Pack 5ea

MEDIPEEL Extra Super 9 Plus Blackhead Out Nose Pack: The Multi-Step Blackhead Removal System

MEDIPEEL's blackhead removal nose pack is a three-step system: softening solution, extraction strip, and calming pad. This layered approach is more sophisticated than the typical single-step pore strip, with the softening step dissolving blackhead plugs before physical extraction. Each 5-pack treatment is designed as a weekly or bi-weekly ritual rather than a daily product. At $22.49, it's mid-tier priced for specialty blackhead removal products.

The "Extra Super 9 Plus" naming refers to the nine-ingredient complex in the softening step, including BHA (salicylic), papain enzyme, and botanical extracts. The combined approach is more effective than standard charcoal or clay pore strips, particularly for stubborn blackheads that don't respond to surface-only treatments.

What It Does

Step 1 (softening solution): BHA and enzymes dissolve sebum plugs and surface keratin, loosening blackheads from pores. Step 2 (extraction strip): traditional pore strip format removes the loosened blackheads with physical extraction. Step 3 (calming pad): centella and soothing botanicals reduce post-extraction redness and tighten pores. The three-step sequence is more thorough than single-step strips, with less post-extraction irritation.

Who It's For

• Stubborn blackheads on nose, chin, T-zone: Primary use case.
• Pore-prone combination/oily skin: Weekly or bi-weekly maintenance.
• Single-step pore strip frustration users: More effective multi-step approach.
• Pre-event skin prep: Deep-clean pores before photos or events.
• Teen and young adult routines: Age group most commonly dealing with blackheads.

How to Use

Cleanse face thoroughly. Step 1: apply the softening solution to the nose and surrounding area, leave 10 to 15 minutes. Step 2: apply the extraction strip while nose is still slightly damp, let dry completely (20 minutes), peel off slowly starting from edges. Step 3: apply the calming pad to the treated area, leave 5 minutes, pat in essence. Follow with regular moisturizer and SPF. Use weekly maximum; over-use can damage the skin barrier.

FAQ

Are pore strips safe?

Used weekly maximum, yes. Daily use damages the skin barrier and can trigger more sebum production (paradoxically causing more blackheads). This system's softening step reduces the physical trauma of pure-strip use, making it safer than basic pore strips.

Does the three-step system actually do more than regular pore strips?

Yes, noticeably. The softening step dissolves blackhead plugs before extraction, producing better removal with less skin trauma. Pure pore strips often leave most blackheads behind; this system clears more completely.

Will blackheads come back?

Yes. Blackheads are a chronic pore condition; no single treatment permanently removes them. Maintenance with weekly treatments plus daily BHA toner keeps them under control.

Can I use it for whiteheads or cystic acne?

No. Blackhead removal systems are for open, oxidized pore plugs only. Whiteheads, cysts, and active acne lesions require different products (hydrocolloid patches, spot treatments).

How does it compare to Some By Mi AHA-BHA-PHA nose packs?

Some By Mi is a single-step enzyme peel strip; lighter, less aggressive. MEDIPEEL is a three-step system with more thorough blackhead removal. MEDIPEEL is more effective on stubborn blackheads but takes longer.
