What is the best treatment to get rid of clogged comedones?

Doctor's Answer

Hello Cherry

You can consider adding topical agents that contain salicylic acid or retinoid to your skincare regime and you should be able to see some improvement after 1 to 2 months. You may need a prescription from a doctor for the retinoids (Differin/ Retin - A).

I will also recommend doing a series of salicylic acid chemical peel for stubborn comedones. Do consult a doctor first to get a proper skin assessment before you start anything. Hope this helps!
