"I'm not sure if it's due to the occlusive nature of my face masks or general summer sweat, but my pores have become home to a few teeny, tiny — and stubborn — blackheads lately and I needed help STAT. Fortunately, I got the opportunity to test out the new Tula Deep Exfoliating Blackhead Scrub ($32) a little early this month, and I've been using it twice a week since. This jelly-like formula has a mixture of pink salt, volcanic sand, and witch hazel, plus lactic acid for an exfoliating treat. It also contains raspberry leaf and pomegranate which not only make it smell heavenly, but also helps minimize the appearance of my pores. My blackheads have since shrunk and the best part is I'm not seeing any new ones crop up." — Alanna Martine Kilkeary, associate beauty editor, Makeup.com
"I always get nervous that a face scrub will be too harsh for my sensitive skin, but this Tula product has completely transformed my routine. While it certainly doesn't mess around when it comes to clearing my complexion of blackheads, its soothing formula, which is infused with probiotics and raspberry leaf extract, leaves my skin feeling soft and smooth. I've been using this product once a week for a bit now and have noticed a huge difference in the appearance of my pores. It also smells amazing (shoutout pomegranate!) and is the perfect addition to my self-care Sunday ritual." — SH
