Selsun gold anti dandruff shampoo. Use it as a face mask, it cleans out the pores and closes them up leaving your skin so smooth. Follow up with a good moisturiser.
There are blackhead tools on Amazon, or really anywhere. You poke a tiny hole in the black head and then, what looks like a large threading needle is used to help push it out. Also, make sure he washes and moisturizes his face. Your pores hold on to all the nastiness in the air if you donât wash. Also, try to stay away from excessive grease. Thatâll cause massive breakouts. If these things donât help, go to a dermatologist. Also, it might help for some pointers if you watch Dr Pimple Popper on YouTube. Hope this helps.
Witch hazel after washing with warm water and clean and clear acne cleanser
Honestly, a dermatologist visit and a skin care lime from them would be the best thing you could do for him. A good quality routine that will save him from scarring and damage down the road.
I use a gelatin mask and it works wonders, 1 tbsp of gelatin powder for 3 tbsps of milk, mix and melt in a double boiler, place it on your skin when youâre able to stand the heat, let it dry and peel it off, it removes all black heads from your face and it feels soooo soft 
, do an allergy test on a part of your skin before applying on your whole face 
Take him to see a dermatologist

Watch cassandra bankson on YouTube she has many great tips and advice about blackheads and skincare in general
My brother went to the derm for a year with little help. Then mom tried proactive and it worked. I think having a clear system is the key for teens and that is why the prescribed stuff wasnât workingâŚit wasnât used properly/ enough

Agree with dermatologist. My husband had acne as a teenager and proactive did nothing for him. Itâs not worth risking scarring by delaying it or aggravating the skin with homemade concoctions.

Dermatologist! Until then an OTC salicylic acid or glycolic acid acne cream, a face wash with either of those in it. A proper moisturizer (depending on skin type). Wash morning and night and after any physical activity. Light exfoliation 2-3x a week. Whatever you do, do not try and extricate them yourself, if itâs that bad, you can cause infection.

Diffrin gel every night, after a few weeks youâll notice a huge difference. Iâve been using it for over a year
Wash face with warm or as hot as he can take it water scrub with a good exfoliater and then rinse with cold water to close the pores. Diet plays a huge role in skincare as well.
Use kitchen ingredients to wash with. Honey for a wash, apple cider vinegar toner. Moisturize with vitamin e and rose hips to train the skin not to over produce oil. Stripping oil causes the body to make more so you have to replenish it or you cause more issues.
This soap is amazing!! Worth every penny!!
Baking soda and fresh lemon juice.
Make a mask. (Very crumbly) but works!
I know it sounds overrated, but curology works!!
Pro Active is great.

Witch hazel. My son had bad acne. Also he used noxiema to cleanse with
I would take him to get a facial and go from there!
There is a hydro facial that has a sort of microdermabrasion wand that exfoliates and sucks out the pores.
Make sure heâs washing his face morning and night & exfoliating at least once a week. Good moisturizer & toner as well. Lots of water & possibly better eating habits.
I used proactive as a teen and have used cetaphil & CeraVe forever as my everyday cleanser.
Paulas choice has a chemical exfoliant Iâve heard good things about and The Ordinary is popular too⌠just be careful with anything too strong since his skin isnât mature.
Liz Earl products cleared up my skin, cleanse and polish,Toner,face creams etc
message me iâll send you some stuff to try

The advice here is horrible. Food is for eating not for your face. 
get salicylic acid and abh masks. Lactic acid and niacinimide will help keep it clean. The ordinary has them all under $10.
Blackheads when past a certain point WILL NOT go away with washing or medications. They need to be extracted. Check local spas for an Esthetician. They can get them out, so that he can start with a clean & clear âcanvas.â
