Blackheads don’t sit on the surface of your skin.
So scrubbing harder or using a pore strips won’t get rid of them.

Blackheads form when oil and dead skin become trapped inside the pore and oxidise when exposed to air.

The ingredients I reach for most are:
Salicylic acid→ Press & Clear or Blemish + Age Cleanser, because salicylic acid is oil-soluble and works inside the pore to reduce congestion.
A retinoid → such as Resurfacing Retinol Serum, or a bespoke prescription formula from to increase cell turnover, regulate excess oil production and help prevent pores from becoming clogged again.

Keep the rest of your routine simple with a gentle cleanser, lightweight moisturiser and daily SPF.

If your blackheads keep coming back despite a consistent routine, it’s time for a personalised treatment plan rather than another scrub.

I’m back rating popular treatments out of 10 and giving you my honest verdict.

Some treatments are worth every penny. Some are wildly overhyped. A few are brilliant, but only for the right skin concern.

Not every treatment suits every skin tone or type. That’s exactly why a consultation comes first: to find what’s right for you, not what’s trending.

Pigmentation doesn’t usually “come back” on its own.
It comes back because the trigger is still there.

For most people that’s one, or a combination, of:
→ UV exposure
→ Visible light
→ Heat
→ Hormones
→ Acne and inflammation
→ Over-exfoliation

That’s why fading creams alone often aren’t enough.

The foundation of any pigmentation routine is protection.
→ Wear SPF every day.
→ Choose a tinted SPF if you’re prone to melasma or hyperpigmentation generally, as iron oxides help protect against visible light. I like the tinted SPF range.
→ Apply enough, around two finger lengths for the face.
→ Reapply throughout the day, not just once in the morning.

Pigmentation isn’t just about treating the mark.

It’s about managing the trigger.

If you’re trying to improve acne scarring but not seeing much change, skincare may not be the problem.

Once acne scars have formed, topical products can only do so much.

That’s when we start looking at treatments.

SkinPen microneedling can help stimulate collagen and improve skin texture over time.

For deeper, tethered scars, subcision may help by releasing the fibrous bands pulling the scar down.

And if pigmentation is part of the picture too, Pico laser may help target unwanted pigment while being gentler on surrounding skin.

But here’s the key thing.
Not all acne scars should be treated the same way.

The best approach depends on the type of scar, your skin tone, and whether you’re still actively breaking out.

Because if acne is still ongoing, treating the scars before controlling the acne often leads to frustration.

Do facial exercises actually tighten your skin?
Dr Nabil answers one of his most frequently asked questions.
While facial exercises may help reduce puffiness, they’re not going to do much for skin laxity, fine lines or pigmentation, which are the main signs of photo-ageing.

Ingrown hairs aren’t necessarily a shaving problem.
They’re a build-up problem.

Dead skin, debris and inflammation stop the hair growing out properly, especially around the bikini line, beard area and neck.

Three things help most:

→ Salicylic Acid Body Wash to exfoliate inside the pore
→ Glycolic Acid 7% to loosen dead skin build-up
→ Better shaving technique, always shave with the grain and ideally use a single blade razor

Consistency matters more than scrubbing harder.

Smooth skin starts with reducing congestion and inflammation first.

Rosacea isn’t caused by not doing enough.

In fact, doing too much is often what keeps it going.

If your skin is constantly red, reactive or stings after skincare, it’s time to simplify.

The foundations of rosacea management are:
→ Identify your triggers, common ones include heat, alcohol, spicy food, stress and UV exposure.

→ Use a gentle cleanser and barrier-supporting moisturiser. I like the Gentle Cleanser or Gentle Skin Cleanser.

→ Introduce azelaic acid gradually to help calm redness and inflammation. 10% Azelaic Acid is a great over-the-counter option, while prescription-strength azelaic acid may be appropriate for some patients.

→ For persistent redness or visible blood vessels, treatments like IPL or BBL can also be very effective.

Rosacea can’t be cured, but with the right skincare routine and treatment plan, it can often be controlled extremely well.
