Blackheads vs Dry Skin

[missrachelena]

Hi everyone! I have a bit of a problem with blackheads on my nose and forehead. I've always had some, but lately they've become more noticeable. Here's the issue though - I've tried different scrubs and masks, pore strips, etc., but no matter what I use, my nose because EXTREMELY dry and flaky (I have combo-dry skin to begin with, so this makes it worse).

It's come to the point where I have to pick between clearer skin or fighting my dryness. Any products out there that anyone could recommend that will clear my skin of blackheads without the flakiness? Thank you!

@missrachelena and @AbbieChalmers I highly rec BHA for fighting blackheads.  I only rec Paula's Choice.  It comes in 1, 2, 4 and 9%.  Tag me if you have any questions!  🙂

Hello there @missrachelena! I am wondering if you have tried light chemical exfoliation with BHA, basically salicylic acid. Also, what masks have you tried? Is Glamglow Supermud on your list? How about Charcoal Mask by Origins?

I have the exact same problem. Hope someone will come and save us lol.
