I've got some stubborn blackheads that won't go away with chemicals, scrubs or special face creams. I found it useful to steam my face very well, then attempt to gently squeezing them until they come out. The key of not producing scars is to stop if the blackhead doesn't come out easily and try again in a few days.

My face tends to get very oily and with a close up look, even from a far at times you can see blackheads. chemicals don't work for me. what I've started to do is stea my face once per week. 3 weeks know and I most say, I oil is less and on some part of my face blackheads are less. The most difficult area to tackle though is my cheeks.
