Oxy Blackout- Liquid Sticks

Advantages: Gets rid of blackheads :O)
Disadvantages: Having blackheads in the first place :O(

...Ciao's very own backpacking CMW), Oxy Blackout is a product to tackle those nasty little critters that surface from time to time, (no, sadly not men) blackheads. I wouldn't consider myself a major sufferer of blackheads, but I get a few, and attempting to squeeze them out is usually more damaging to the skin than leaving them put. Admittedly, prior to trying this product, I had severe doubts about it's (and other rival brands) ability to make any ...
...really does work. The Oxy Blackout system is quick, easy, and effective, consisting of two items, a 3.5ml glass vial of Blackout Liquid, and 32 strips (which look like mini plasters). You also get an instruction leaflet in the pack. It's recommended that before using Oxy Blackout, you cleanse your skin as normal, (but no toners or astringents to be used) and then either steam your face or apply a warm cloth for a few minutes to the intended application ...

Advantages: does empty some pores
Disadvantages: high price, not a miracle worker

I've been using Oxy Black Out every week for about 4 months now... It works, but my skin is bad!! BAD skin!! I'm sure it would be most effective for those with only a moderate blackhead problem. I'm sure mine is genetic! :( Anyway, on to the product (strange product heading in ciao "Liquid sticks"!?)- You get a blue plastic box that flips up and shows you 2 little packs of strips and a tiny bottle of clear fluid. Now, you have to use the little ...
...with this chemical stuff (alcohol & PVP, whatever that is). Smells a bit, but it's not that bad. The strips smell of Sinclair ZX Spectrum computers from the 80s! I know that sounds mad, but it's a funny plasticky smell that I haven't come across again until now! If you had one you'll understand. maybe the rubbery keys were made outta the same stuff! WEIRD. So you wait a few minutes, it doesn't take long for the fluid to dry. Once it's completely ... Read review

Advantages: Clears out the gunge and dry skin.
Disadvantages: Messy and expensive

...So I splashed out on Oxy Blackout strips – back then I think they were about £4 for about 20 strips. The product is in a little blue flip-top box and contains the little strips, plus a gooey liquid to paint on the offending area (intended to be the nose generally) plus instruction leaflet. It was a messy little game. Applying these strips with the accompanying goo on a strip placed horizontally over the offending nasal area. I then had to wait about ...
...only entail using water with a similar result. So as far as these blackhead removal products go this one from Oxy seems pretty average if somewhat messy thought its price and results are comparable to most others. I don’t know that I’d bother with this messy business again though! ... Read review

Advantages: NONE
Disadvantages: Doesn't do what is says on the box

OXY over the past few years have come out with many different products to help teenagers with there skin troubles. They seem to cash in on the annoyance of spots in teenagers etc. OXY blackout is just another one of many products; I have to say it’s one of the worst they have in their skin care range. OXY Blackout is a skin product that is to be used in problem areas of the skin, which have Blackheads. You can see these as sort of black dots ...
...CONSIST OF? Inside the OXY Blackout pack contained; ** 30 strips of plastic, with covers on them to keep them clean and sticky. ** A bottle filled with a sticky glue substance, with a plastic spreader in the lid. DIRECTIONS What you had to do was to spread the liquid from the little bottle, (and it was little, you don’t get much for your money) over the troublesome area. In my case this was my nose. I then had to wait about ten minutes ... Read review

Advantages: It is effective and does not take to long
Disadvantages: The liquid is a little strong

...as that. ********************EFFECTIVENESS****************** Oxy blackout, removes black heads from the skin, by lifting them out. It also clears your pores, if they are blocked. When you pull the strip off, you can see what it has removed. I know this doesn't sound very nice, but it is visible evidence that this product works. **********************MY OPINION********************* An expensive, but effective product. I am satisfied with the ...
...I noticed when I placed it over my nose, my eyes started to run. This didn't last long, but the smell is a little over powering. This product is easy to use, and can be done quite quickly. It removes black heads effortlessly, meaning you no longer have to squeeze them out. Which sometimes damages the skin, and leaves red marks. I recommend this product to anyone, who gets black heads. I think you will be pleased with the results. Thank you for ... Read review
