- Blackheads are a result of blocked pores, caused by a build-up of oils and keratin.

If you have skin, you have blackheads – they’re that common.
Blackheads are caused by a build up of oil that clogs the skin follicles or pores. Clogged pores can be closed in by skin, which results in whiteheads, or open, which results in blackheads.
Blackheads typically occur on the face and neck, but can also be found in and on the ears.
