All I used to do was pop them by scratching off that dried puss scab they form after a while (stupid I know) and wash my face in the shower vigorously by covering it in soap, scrubbing, using my nails to scratch off as much of caked-on oils as I can, and use the towel really hard to scrape off whatever was left
It worked just on my worst spot of acne it caused scarring, but my face is smooth now
