Do chemical peels remove blackheads?

Hi,
Chemical peels may remove very superficial blackheads, but the deeper ones may need extraction. I have found that on some occasions, the lesions are not true "blackheads", but rather pores with oxidized sebum (oil) within. the oxidation (or contact with air) turns the substance dark. If the problem is pores with sebum, as I have described, then these certainly will improve with a chemical peel. Choose one with beta-salicylic acid for an oily complexion. Hope this helps!
