3. United Kingdom – Black Head Remover

This black head remover was a best-selling product in the United States a couple of months ago, and now we’re seeing sellers extend this product’s popularity to other countries.

You can also cross-sell a skin care mask for customers to use after their black head remover, which you can also sell on your store like this as an upsell. You can promote your product with Pinterest Ads using keywords like acne, acne remedies, black heads, black head remover diy, or black head remover.
