Any good remedies to get rid of them?

Try pore strips, clay masks (the Body Shop's Tea Tree mask, Queen Helene Mint Julep mask, Boscia Black Mask--that one isn't a mud mask but it's great!), and invest in a Clarisonic. They're designed to send sonic vibrations through your skin to loosen blackheads.

Of course :) blackheads plague me, and I love being able to help others with them as well :) you can also get facials every now and then, facialists will extract them for you, and you can also go to a dermatologist to see what they suggest!

Yay skin care question! These almost never pop up :(
If you're concentrated on clearing your black heads, I would recommend any face wash with salicylic acid, 0.5-1%. The way salicylic acid works is by dissolving whatever surface it's on in layers, which makes it perfect for getting inside the blackhead and unclogging it from the inside. I would also stick to a water based moisturizer, especially since you have oily skin. You wanna make sure you're moisturizing your skin after stripping it of it's natural oils or it will start over compensating, which may cause more clogging and therefore more blackheads :( another effective way to get rid of black heads is pore strips, you can buy them at any drugstore, and they're basically like tape that remove the blackhead. Though I must say, this is mostly effective on newer blackheads, and may not remove all of them, some of them like to hold on real tight. For tough black heads you can always buy an extraction tool, which is exactly what it sounds like, it's a little tool that you use to squeeze the black head out safely without causing the bacteria to go deeper, yes that is as gross and satisfying as it sounds. You can buy them at almost any drugstore or beauty supply store. After you're rid of your black heads, stick to very mild cleansers, a milk cleanser is your best bet. It's full of nutrients, but not oily and it doesn't have harsh chemicals that will irritate the skin! I love Micabellas Milk Cleanser.
