When it comes to skincare, I’m always a little skeptical—especially when a product promises instant results or claims to remove all blackheads like magic. That’s exactly what I thought when I first saw the RtopR Blackhead Remover being hyped online. It felt a little too good to be true.
But as someone who constantly tests and reviews skincare products here on Skin Diary, I knew I had to give it a shot. After all, blackheads have always been one of my biggest skin struggles. So I bought it, tested it, and here’s everything you need to know—from the delivery, first impressions, and application process, to what really happened after using it.
📦 First Impressions & Delivery
I bought my RtopR Blackhead Remover from Shopee for around ₱200. Pretty affordable, right?
To my surprise, delivery was faster than usual. Within a few days, I was already holding the tiny silver box in my hands, heart racing from a mix of excitement and doubt. Would this be just another overhyped product, or would it finally clear up my nose?
👃 The Smell Test (Warning!)
Okay, real talk. The smell of the product was strong. Not in a horrible way, but definitely not subtle. Don’t put it too close to your nose right away, especially if you're sensitive to scents. It gave me a slight sting in the nostrils the first time—though maybe that’s just me being extra reactive.
But once I got past that initial scent? Things started to look promising.
🧴 Texture & Consistency
The RtopR remover has a sticky gel-like texture. It glides easily when applied and spreads smoothly. It’s thick enough to grip, but not overly tacky.
I appreciated that it wasn’t runny or messy—some peel-off masks are either too watery or too gluey. This one sat nicely on the skin and felt satisfying to apply.
🧼 Step-by-Step: How I Applied RtopR Blackhead Remover
For those curious or trying it for the first time, here’s the exact method I used:
🔹 What You’ll Need:
A clean towel
A hot compress or facial steamer
RtopR Blackhead Remover
Tissue or peel-off sheet (optional)
Toner and moisturizer (for aftercare)
🔸 Step 1: Cleanse Your Face
Always start with a clean face. I used a gentle foaming cleanser to remove oil and dirt. No makeup, no sunscreen—just bare skin.
🔸 Step 2: Steam or Use Hot Towel
I applied a hot towel on my nose for about 5 minutes to open up the pores. You can also use a facial steamer if you have one. This step really helps loosen the blackheads.
🔸 Step 3: Apply RtopR Blackhead Remover
I spread a thin, even layer on my nose and a bit on my chin (hello, clogged pores). I waited about 15–20 minutes or until it dried completely.
🔸 Step 4: Peel-Off Moment
Once dry, I gently peeled it off from the bottom up. It wasn’t painful at all—just a bit of a tug. I could literally see tiny black and whiteheads on the strip. Super satisfying!
🔸 Step 5: Rinse + Moisturize
After peeling, I rinsed my face with cold water to close the pores. Then applied toner and a calming moisturizer.
✨ Results: Did It Work?
Surprisingly, YES.
Even the tiny blackheads were pulled out, especially around the crevices of my nose where they usually hide. My skin felt smoother and my pores looked tighter. One application removed a good amount—but with regular use (1–2 times per week), I noticed even better results.
Was it perfect? No. It didn’t remove 100% of the blackheads (what does?). But for the price, it performed way better than some expensive brands I’ve tried.
💡 Tips for Best Results
Don’t use it every day. Once or twice a week is enough.
Prep your skin properly (hot towel/steam) to make it more effective.
Follow up with toner and moisturizer to avoid irritation.
Don’t overuse on dry or sensitive areas—stick to the nose, chin, or forehead only.
🧾 Final Thoughts
If you’re like me—tired of exaggerated claims from overpriced blackhead removers—then the RtopR Blackhead Remover might just surprise you. It’s budget-friendly, easy to use, and most importantly, it works (with the right technique).
Of course, results may vary depending on your skin type. But based on my personal experience, it’s one of the few viral skincare products that lived up to the hype.
