I had this and one of the ends slid out so I didn't keep it when I moved. Now I miss it and will probably get another one.
It can definitley mess up your face if your not careful, and leave horrible welts and lumps. So why do I want it again? Because I'm a skin picker, and I thought that without this tool, I wouldn't pick as much but it's complete BS. I still do, only now I only have my dirty hands. And as one reviewer said, you sometimes accidentally scrape the top layer of skin off and leave a scar when using fingernails. If you're a winner like me, you can probably manage that with this tool too. The key is to go gently and to only use it on the ones that really need it. I haven't learned that lesson yet in practice but that's a whole other issue. The other big difference with this tool versus your fingers other than hygine is that this can get out more of the root of the pimple so it's OUT completely. This also uses a downward pressure while fingers sqeeze in and traumatize more skin around the pimple. So I think it's extremely helpful if you have self control, or heck even if you don't.
One thing I kind of recommed with any kind of popping other than to be as sterile as possible, and to use warm water first, is don't try to pop when your skin is really dry or if you have something like benzoyl peroxide/tea tree on or after a drying mask. I kind of feel like the pores close tight and the skin traps them in and they look bumpier and are more traumatic to extract. Rather, I like to warm up the face and maybe use a liiiigghtt oil on my face so I have grip still but they can slide out a bit easier, and then I wash it off after. It also helps you to *not* extract those that aren't ready because you can't see them as well with some kind of moisture on your face as you can when you're super turbo dry. If you are oily that should suffice, but there's some lucky people out there like me who are dry and acne prone yay! And knoow when to stop. So important. -_-
Ugh my new one is square instead of round throughout the handle, I prefer round but I had a coupon so I got the one they had. :P
Now I should just take my own advice. But to the point, I need this again. And since writing this I bought yet another one (rounded handle). I need these in my bathroom always.
