Blackheads on nose?

I'm a 16 year old girl, normal health wise and stuff but I've had bad black heads on my nose. It drives me nuts because I don't wear makeup or use pore-clogging lotions/moisturizers/sunblock and stuff and I wash my face everyday with a gentle facial cleanser (neutrogena) and use oil free neutrogena face moisturizer/SPF15.





I have tried almost everything to get rid of these stupid blackheads that make me very self-conscious to be close to people because I know they are visible (I notice them on people who have them too, and envy the ones who don't). I have tried pore strips, exfoliating face washes and scrubs, more chemically face wash (with sacrylic acids and stuff which just irritates my skin more), but nothing helps. I squeeze them sometimes and that helps some of them for a few days but not far and not that great.I am not an oily person and I eat a healthy diet, take a vitamin every day. What can I do?? Including dermatologist help??Blackheads on nose?
The products you are using, are they Salsylic Acid or Benzoyl peroxide? BP can be VERY drying. I personally like SA better. Salsylic acid it really good. It is in almost all acne washes. Benzoyl Peroxide is too drying for me! Try finding a face lotion with SA in it. Clean and Clear has a good moisturizer with SA and it helps keep pimples at bay. It is only about $5 a bottle and lasts about 2 months and you can get it at your local store. I have used this in the past and it works well. Personally, I use Biore products (which you get over the counter. Their products range from $5-$10). They are harsh on pimples, but not on your face.


Personally, Proactive didn't work for me. I have been using Biore products for over a year and I hardly ever break out! Occasionally I will get one or two, but nothing bad. I use Biore Ice Cleanser for acne and Biore warming facial scrub every morning for blackheads (This stuff works. I notcied a DRASTIC difference in my blackheads being GONE within 2 weeks) . And then 3-4 day s a week I use Biore purging pore cream scrub. For body acne I use Neutrogena acne body wash I never break out on my body. It gets 110 in summer so sweat in inevitably, yet I never break out. Give it a try. All of it is cheap too. About $5-10 depending on what you buy! I think you will just need to experiment with products until you find what works for you. Remember, it can take 1 month for products to fully begin working! Good Luck!Blackheads on nose?
You could go see a dermatologist......





Or





You could wipe your face and nose with hydrogen peroxide which would bleach the blackheads and make them less noticeable
Use proactive its very good my son has blackhead too and i give him proactive and it worked for him.
I found this great stuff that really helps my blackheads. I noticed a difference instantly. It is called St. Ives apricot scrub blackhead and blemish control. I love it.
