Will this help with blackheads and blemishes, or is it mainly for oily shine?

Paira salitsüülpiiritus is designed to clean oily skin and support the look of less clogged pores. The key active ingredient, salicylic acid 1%, is oil-soluble, which means it can work inside pores where sebum builds up and help loosen the mixture of oil and dead skin cells that makes pores look blocked. The alcohol base adds a strong degreasing effect, so the skin surface feels cleaner and more matte after use.

That does not mean the product removes blackheads or clears blemishes on its own. It is a cleansing and maintenance step, not a spot treatment with a guaranteed effect. For visible blackheads, gentle exfoliation with salicylic acid over time may help keep them from looking as congested, but it cannot physically extract what is already inside the pore. For actual blemishes, a specialist may recommend prescription treatments that a cosmetic product cannot replace.

If your main concern is oily shine, this product can be used on the T-zone and other areas that become shiny, and it can be followed by a moisturiser and sunscreen during the day. If your skin is congested, be realistic: consistent use over several weeks may help the area look less clogged, but sudden improvement is not typical. If blemishes are persistent, painful, or widespread, consult a specialist instead of relying on this product alone.
