I have fairly large pores, and as a result I notice I get blackheads from time to time. I've seen this product in stores, and I finally bought a tube of it from Amazon JP with some City-Cost gift card money I had left. Although the tube itself isn't particularly large, a little of the product goes a long way -- so I think it'll last for a while. It's also only recommended to use it once or twice a week (I assume so it's not too drying on your skin) which is another reason it'll last a while. The actual product is a charcoal black color, and you apply it after cleansing to any problem areas where you get blackheads -- for me that's my nose and my chin. Basically just rub the product in circles, and then rinse it off. Super easy to use, which is a nice plus.

One thing to keep in mind if you purchase this is that it's not a *miracle* product -- I didn't notice any discernable results until I used it once or twice a week for about a month. If you're expecting overnight success that wasn't my experience, so don't be disappointed if you don't see immediate results. Stick with it and it works! Other than that, I'd still recommend giving this product a try if you struggle with blackheads from time to time and you'd like a way of minimizing them/clearing them up.
