How do you get rid of whiteheads and blackheads?

Bioré nose strips are SO satisfying!! I've actually recently been using Pacifica Cosmic Vanish Pore strips and think these work better!! (scored them from BeautyCon😘)

They're really strong and successful at pulling out all the white/blck heads on my nose. I think I'll start using these now instead of Bioré. Plus, it includes tea tree oil, hemp oil, and witch hazel!! (Bioré does not) 🤩🤗

What salicylic acid face washes do you recommend? I recently bought the Murad Clarifying Cleanser but actually originally wanted to buy La Roche. I've only started using salicylic acid products in the last month so still waiting for results 🤔 hope it won't be drying!

i've only learned about "sebaceous filaments" this year from this video!! it was so relieving getting an accurate term/answer for all these white heads that gather on my nose and chin 😭 the chin ones are especially difficult to remove! https://youtu.be/Ln8JaVc4HHo

Also my other dermatologist recommended K-pharm enzyme powder for overall softer skin and extracting whiteheads.. and IT WAS LIFECHANGING!!! I got it from him directly so idk where else you can buy them but I think as long as it's enzyme powder wash, it should be good. Anyone have any suggestions on enzyme powder washes?

This sounds so random but I've used baking soda to extract my whiteheads for years.. lol It's such an affordable, natural way to do it! My dermatologist recommended this method years ago and now I always have to make sure I packed some baking soda whenever I travel because I cannot live without it lol

When I start to notice sebaceous filaments, I do: 1. Stridex pad (https://www.amazon.com/Stridex-Single-Step-Control-Maximum-Alcohol/dp/B074GF1PNL) 2. Queen Helen Mint Julep Mask (https://www.amazon.com/QUEEN-HELENE-Masque-Mint-Julep/dp/B0014272V) 3. OCM (oil cleansing method) with mineral oil. I just use Johnson&Johnson's but you can use unscented. I would recommend against using extraction since it could push it in deeper or Biore strip since it can irritate the skin, but some people swear by those two methods 🤷

I second that... sebaceous filaments 😖😖 i have tons of them! I find that BHAs - salicylic acid works best at getting rid of them. Or an AHA/ BHA combo! For me I always need the BHAs! I’m using the cosrx BHA blackhead powder liquid and it’s really working 😍

Sebaceous Filaments. Look it up and see if this fits. I've got these babies on my t zone. There is a lot of different advice on how to help these but the best results I've seen so far is taking BHA/AHA (Im on youth to the people kombucha toner at the moment) and run over them gently with a q tip for a whole minute.

Anyhow, I'm wondering if something as simple as a toner would help, thanks 😘

I always extract them out (with clean hands!) but recently, I've noticed my pores getting bigger and bigger…
