Redeem now - This video shows the removal of an ingrown hair that's masquerading as a blackhead.
- It's just awesome.

This YouTube clip uploaded on Monday — and later reshared on the /r/popping subreddit — is just that kind of video.
It starts with a man using a comedone extractor on his cheek, attempting to remove what looks like a blackhead. But 30 seconds in, he switches to a tweezer. That "blackhead" is actually a tightly coiled ingrown hair. (It looks like there's some excess skin oil in the mix, too.)

One Reddit commenter called it "a win for all mankind," and we're inclined to agree.
