What products are the best to get rid of blackheads?

My best friend, my boyfriend, and I swear by St. Ive's Apricot Blackhead scrub. My boyfriend has really bad acne, and he uses a special cream, but it's not that effective, but once I let him use my St. Ive's, his face is 10x more clearer. Not to mention, it's cheap and you can buy it at a normal drug store like CVS or Rite Aid. My face is crystal clear and I use tonnnsss of makeup.
