I found out about this tool at a salon when I went for a facial cleaning and the skin care technician used it on me; at first I didn't see what it was, but she kept on saying that "a lot" was coming out. It hurt a little, but it didn't leave any red marks. So at the end of the treatment I asked if I could see the tool, I was too curious; then I went home and ordered one. It's great! Lots & lots of stuff comes out! But you SHOULDN'T use it if your skin hasn't been washed and pores opened. It's best to do it right after a good shower (I usually wash my face in the shower). Does it hurt? Of course it hurts a little, but it also hurt at the salon, and we don't complaint when a professional is doing it. IF your skin has been soaked enough with warm water you shouldn't have to press so hard for stuff to come out; you should run it through the target area, not hold it down on one spot (that's what causes the marks). **Note: works best on nose, chin, and forehead; not good on your cheekbones.

3.0 out of 5 stars well made but too thick for me, August 13, 2010

i bought this and a lancet also from suvorna together, which makes less scarring because the lancet pokes a small hole for the acne to come out.

i used to have a lancet plus remover that i've been using like forever, but it was my mom's, so when i went study abroad i know i need to get my own. the one that i had has a thin wire loop as a remover, and i think this might have affected my opinions on the suvorna remover, just kept that in mind for now.

because of all the good comments i saw so i decided to give it a try. i looked online on guides on using the suvorna specifically but the suvorna website is not up yet. i also read some websites on how a flat remover can provide more even forces on the surrounding skin of the acne which can cause less scarring, hence i was really excited to try the suvorna acne remover.

however when i try to use it on my acne, it's just too thick, even after i poke a little hole with my lancet. i tried to use the flat side to kind of roll around to get the acne out but it's just so thick and only a little comes out. so i thought since i had a thin wire loop remover before, i might as well try the loop side. so i try to angle the loop remover to push the acne out and the loop is just also too thick. because of the thickness, the force just isnt acute enough to push the acne.. so for the sake of getting the acne out to avoid inflammation i just had to use my fingernails, the old fashioned bad way.

the suvorna produce is well made, very fine material used, the traction on handle is very nice, and it even comes with a very fine classy holder. but since the most important part - the two remover is so thick, it just doesn't do a good job in removing the acne. it'll be nice if it can be made thinner and light.

however, any potential buyers must be aware that this experience might be affected by my personal experience in the past in using a thin wire loop extractor. if you're used to a thick acne remover i think this will be a very good choice.

If blackheads and pimples are an aggravation to you, here is the right tool to get rid of them. We've all heard that using your fingers to mess with blackheads and pimples can cause scarring and other problems. Using the extractor is easy and it works very well. You push it against your skin, and it forces all of the pore-clogging gunk out without allowing bacteria from your hands to invade. Sometimes, it can be painful to use on certain bumps. It will cause your face to look puffy for a few minutes, but if you use it at night for the full extraction, everything will be back to normal by morning.
