    My goodness, I need to read this when more info is available.  I have large pores, alas, and I do the best I can but blackheads are a plague on my nose and chin.

    I use sal acid (clean and clear) and micro benzoyle peroxide to keep it down.  I thought maybe blackheads appeared in pores with hairs and I literally considered consulting an electrologist to see if that were the case.  But I don’t se hairs out of the pores on my nose?
    Also Retin A (generic, the max .1 %).  Blackheads and large pores are the bane of my skin’s existence (and I have nice skin otherwise).

    rungrace01,  pore refining strips are extremely satisfying to use and i daresay even fun.

    There is some strange satisfaction to be found in pulling off a pore strip and seeing all those little stalagmites of skin gunk.

    Ha, Pilgrim and Randy!  I have used those pore strips for special occasions but the effects don’t last very long!  I agree that it’s satisfying!!!  I just wish for a way the blackheads could be prevented!!!

    hi rungrace01,  do you have teenager oily skin?  if you do, do you live in a tropical climate?  that would be a double whammy!  but the oily would keep your skin young.

    the first time i used the pore strip, i thought i would never have to use it again in my life!  everything came out of the pores!  my fun of using them was limited to once a year, usually after the summer.

    then i got married.  now i can have fun using them on husband.  who has oilier skin and really had an accumulation that increased the circumference of the pores.  that was really a sight!
    but the pores on his nose look better.  and yes, i can use it on him more frequently.  he also used all the things you and others have used.  but the pore strips had the most impact.
