What is Comedonal Acne Management?
Comedonal acne is made up of blackheads and whiteheads rather than red, inflamed pimples. It responds well to topical retinoids and exfoliating peels, with careful extraction when needed. Treating it prevents progression to inflamed acne.

Comedonal Acne Management: common questions
Why do blackheads come back after extraction?
Extraction only clears existing plugs. Topical treatment reduces new ones forming, so both are used together.
