Blackheads that will not go away

[Rubyreddx]

1. Hi I have been threw A LOT of products like Kate sommersville (I saw that someone used that products to say it helped them with blackheads it didn't fit me) I have blackheads that no matter how clean my face is will not go away especially on my nose and chin and they are so frustrating!!!! I am looking for advice on masks that work asking anyone in particular who has used OLEHENRIKSEN Cold Plunge Pore Mask 3 oz/ 90 mL #if it really works, I also use glycolic ,AHA/BHA s on my skin and would like a recommendation for a product for that, that won't really leave my skin oily my skin always feels oily when I use these like for instance I use Drunk Elephant T.L.C. Framboos™ Glycolic Resurfacing Night Serum and it makes my skin greasy so what follows? Blackheads. Please help!

@Rubyreddx your best defense will be a leave on BHA.  I only rec Paula's Choice.   It comes in 1, 2, 4 and 9%.  Start with 2% and go from there.

innisfree Volcanic AHA Pore Clearing Clay Mask 3.38 oz/ 100 mL is my fave.

Use a gentle cleanser like First Aid Beauty Mini Pure Skin Face Cleanser 2 oz/ 56.7 g. 

Also, mechanical exfoliation can help.  I like Kiehl's Since 1851 Epidermal Re-Texturizing Micro-Dermabrasion 2.5 oz/ 75 mL although it will be too abrasive for some.

If your skin us oily, oil blotting sheets really help.  Target makes good ones.

If you are still struggling, try Differin (the Rx strength is better but there is an OTC one).  And if that doesn't work, ask your derm if you're a candidate for Retin-A.

Good luck and let us know how it goes.
