How often should I use a blackhead remover?

Once every 1-2 weeks for pore vacuums. Manual extractors should only be used as needed on visible blackheads. Over-extraction irritates skin and can worsen pore appearance.

Do pore vacuums actually work?

Yes, on surface-level blackheads and sebaceous filaments. They won't remove deep clogged pores — for those, see a dermatologist or use chemical exfoliants like salicylic acid.
