I guess if you put it in reverse, you can douche with it. Daintiness always involves douching.

George Carlin did a routine about this product. It was on his "Occupation: Foole" album.

I had one of those when I was a kid. (I bought it off an ad significantly more recent than that one.) It didn't work.

"Pleasant" seems a rather strange adjective to apply to a blackhead remover. Perhaps it's fitting that the ad appeared in Amazing Stories.

How weird is this: I was just thinking about this product.

No, really. It's in one of my favorite children's books, John Bellairs' The House With a Clock in its Walls, which set right around the time of this ad. Boy protagonist sees the ad in a magazine and finds it vaguely scary. :)

We had one of these lying in the bathroom drawer when I was a kid. I never could get it to work.
