It’s also important to protect your skin barrier otherwise too much salicylic acid used to often will leave a compromised barrier leading to secondary issues. Don’t overdo it. More is not always better.
How can we protect the barrier?? What should we use after the SA?
I use the cosrx snail mucin and then an actual moisturizer with ceramides on top. I use the one by vanicream but there are tons of moisturizers with ceramides out there. You may also want to use a product with inflammation reducing ingredients like centella asiatica if you have sensitive skin and use chemical exfoliatiors. I also use hyaluronic acid first thing after washing my face, but you can probably skip it
She gave multiple options, she didn't say to use them all in the same routine
@@sumlemI used them all and now I'm swollen and red
@@TheWunder You just one product.... She gave us different choices but NEVER use different acids at the same time.
I love that the products you recommended aren’t the most expensive ones out there! Cerave and inkey list are both on the affordable side and it's so helpful finding something priced on the lower end
this is not a recommendation. We just watched a commercial
توی کشور ما از گرون ترین هاست 😂
@@memento81 all the products belong to different brands ,so how is this a commercial?
They’re definitely not the most affordable either haha.
@@chronic_daydreamer"not the most expensive" and "on the cheaper side" doesn't mean the cheapest. Cerave is just a good and quite affordable, usually the cheapest pharmaceutical option.
I used to have these. Counterintuitively, the best thing I ever did to reduce them was start moisturising the area - removing the oil just meant my skin kept trying to produce more, making the clogs worse. Moisturising allows things to flow more naturally and lets the skin clean itself. My pores have been so much clearer since I started working with my skin instead of against it!
witch hazel as a gentle astringent immediately followed by a facial moisturizer 1-2 times per day. That's it.
This makes sense because dry skin causes more dead skin buildup than moisturized skin, but it can be hard to moisturize with a certain amount of dead skin blocking it.
i do moisturize but it doesnt really help that well
I think this is where I was going wrong also. My nose was always either greasy or dry, I would use a harsh soap and scrub it to get the grease off then it would be dry and peeling then back to greasy. I think what you say is true, if you dry your skin out it makes more oil
@@CarolineJohnsonSTS Isn't possible to get a burn from using witch hazel?
Thank you for clarifying they are not blackheads. This education really helped me reduce my risk with excoriation disorder! Something no psychologist or psychotropic medicine has been too good at.
Didn't knew what that was ... looked it up... well f me.. that's constant picking issue at everything .. it's a disorder... and a real problem for me
@@wickedwitchofBelgium I so hear you!
I've absolutely ruined my nose trying to extract these things and reduce their size to try and smooth out my skin in that area it'snow scabbed up and red raw with a reallyintense dry cap on the tip of it. I have relatively dry skin and having these makes texture worse and makeup look absolutely hideous and all people do is tell me I look like a hideous lizard or some shit because of the dry lumps and bumps
@@Nekogal21 I'm so sorry!!
I have severe dermatillomania and have for about 20 years now…. I completely understand. It’s a challenge daily. Im glad I came across this video
I've always wondered why I could squeeze my nose and get little tiny zit like strands to come out. Watching that sticky sheet roll off pulling out all the black dots is very satisfying haha
YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!!!
Yesssss that was amazingly satisfying!
THAT PEEL
What do you call that sticky paper thing and where can I buy it? I want to peel off the gunk off my nose and face like the one in this short. That peel looks very satisfying.
@@arkavalon5347,
Close-ups of pore removal is so satisfying
was gonna say, how far do i have to scroll to find this crowd (of which I am part of)
Those washes sound good but how do I pull it all out like they did in the beginning of the video
@@Freud_Mayweather nose pore strips. Keep in mind, they will grow/come back
@@rochelleanderson882 if you use a salicylic acid wash a couple times a day they should stay relatively clean and shrink to normal size pretty quickly though right

THANK YOU! FINALLY SOMEONE WHO GAVE ME PRODUCT RECOMMENDATIONS I CAN ACTUALLY FIND IN A FRICKEN NORMAL STORE
@pery-lm1jw Yes
Right!? I use all Cerave products and then one product from The Ordinary and it’s so awesome to get good products at affordable prices!
@pery-lm1jwThose are typically the recommended protocols for those issues, too.
Ya seriously lol
Use wax and they come out fast
I love this lady, she's so helpful! So many of her videos have been really relevant for me ❤
Right, Between Her and Korean Dr. Young, they're my Favs. And Natural holistic doctor (Aside from the Late Doctor SEBI🥺🕊️🫰🏽) is Dr. Jolli.
Product Name Please All Products Name please
Same!
Yep!
There are contraindications to the use of some products that the consumer should be aware of. Retinoids for example can't be used by pregnant because it may lead to miscarriage.
Omg finally! Someone explains what it is, what it looks like, why it’s there, what it’s made from and how to reduce the appearance in a simple, short and easy to understand video 👌 perfection
The cera ve foaming cleanser works wonders. I've always had horrible black spots all over my face but my nose looked the worst. My girlfriend is a dermatologist assistant and when she saw the condition my face was in she started applying that stuff on me about twice a day and now after 5 months, I'm looking like one of them K Pop stars 😂
😂
Was it the sa cerave ?
What are the things she applied to you? Is it only Cera ve or anything else?
@@zoyazara2523 it eas a cera ve cream she left it on me for like 3 minutes then told me to go rinse it off, she also used this gray bottle that kind of burned when she applied it.. I think it's called Clara's Choice? This one was a little more viscous and she would leave it on permanently followed by sunscreen. I'm sorry if I got these wrong I'm not very knowledgeable about this stuff 😂
@@AverageSensei thank you for your kind information☺
I am so glad to hear this. I CONSTANTLY pick at my skin and pimples every day, its a big problem. I've always hated these because I can never get rid of them
U actually can't get rid of them like blackheads, but treatment can help reduce them
Same
Same ;-;
That’s how you can potentially get acne scaring
you might want to try the cos rx bha solution. one bottle lasts a longggg time. it definitely works but just needs a little time. make sure to wear sun protection the next morning and slowly build your tolerance towards it (2-3 nights a week initially). hope this helps!!
Is this Also In South Africa? If so... THANK YOU SO SO MUCH!!! IM DEFINATELY SUBBING! (i am actually right now :))
Cerave resurfacing serum for sure! Also, mild daily exfoliant with salicylic acid works as well.
That’s what she said
Hi can i use resurfacing serum and ordinary SA together?
@@harbilito4910 NO. Too much of any actives will cause redness, irritation, and inflammation. Retinoids and BHAs like salicylic acid should NEVER be used together! Salicylic acid is a chemical exfoliant and retinoids would be too strong for freshly exfoliated skin (this is why retinoid percentages in products are really low).
It would be better to alternate which products to use on which day so that way your skin isn't overloaded in just one wash. Retinoids should be used once a week for a month or 2 while salicylic acid should be used 2-3 times a week until you gain a tolerance because it can be VERY drying and irritating first time around.
And because your skin is basically put into hyperdrive turning itself over with actives, you will most likely break out in places your don't normally break out and that's perfectly normal. Its called purging. Its basically your skin puking up impurities and bringing them up to the surface.
There's denatured alcohol in it tho. It will dry out skin and demage skin barrier.
Too much will damage your face but a little is fine. I use the grapefruit Neutrogena acne face wash that comes in a pump bottle and some Walmart brand toner (both lasts a long time because there's so much in the bottles so the costs are worth it). Whenever I have a group of big zits or acne, I use differn gel. Whenever I have big invidual ones, I use pimple patches.
I NEEDED this video 🙌🏽 thank you
Yeah me too. Always wondered what those things were.
Youre welcome!
Me too!❤
Same! Im done with these little shits on my nose
Same.
I recommend Paula’s choice exfoliate. Works instantly too it’s great
I thought that was just how my nose was, I didn’t know it was all gunk 💀
You can use an oil based cleanser before your salicylic acid cleanser to help clear them more quickly too
They are natural and not necessarily bad, so it isn’t worth being overly aggressive on them.
Your nose doesn't have to look like this. Reduce these naturally by reducing the animals fat, dairy, and seed oils in your diet.
@@NLR759seed oil and animal meat and fat is good for you. Dont do this.
@@NLR759im vegan and i STILL have these. Stop pushing this. Its a natural part of our skin.
I love that you suggest budget friendly products
but zero natural ways
@@Frutori cause they're trash and not effective for everyone.
Get your money up then @@Frutori
@@Frutori just buy Patanjali facewash from Indian store in USA it's made from Turmeric totally ayurvedic and Natural with zero chemicals
Just use a tomato. Tomatoes have salicylic acid in them.
Sound advice.
I think people underestimate moisturisers in this. I think since moisturisers help cells remain hydrated, they help them exfoliate naturally better and become less sticky/clumpy
Incredible content. Fantasticly informative and direct. No fluff right to the point and gives great examples of what to look for, bravo
bro I wasn't even looking up this sort of topic, I was just THINKING about it and it popped up in my feed.
can the yt algorithm read minds?
Yes it can.
@@BelleZee1 I love it! I'll be wondering about a youtuber and wondering what's their name and they pop up on the feed :)
@@priskruger314😂 I just saw that Apple has patented products that read brainwaves. I’m sure we’ve been test subjects for years now.
@@BelleZee1 ugh yeah they just do whatever they want
From my experience: yes
Ive been using the ordinary one, it works so well n is extremely cheap near me only 6 bucks before tax at my local ulta
you saw them, squeeze them and never stop. that's how it starts.
Yep thats me rn. Its become an anxiety tick.
ive never squeezed mine and theyve never left
Same, I ended up with permanent tiny holes on my nose that got bigger from popping these things out of my nose when I was younger.
...my case was more, the bullies saw them, i squeezed them to avoid the bullying, the bullies caught me doing it, and i graduated with a panic disorder and no self esteem.
I'm glad to have a few product suggestions to try...my son was recommended cera ve for a skin condition he had as an infant. It's fairly easy to source here, though it still might be a struggle to find specific priducts in store.
@@Pete-yr9mtAh I've got a couple of them too and once in a while they become a little spot it's a nightmare nice to know I am not the only one
Something that has really helped me with this is called the Oil Cleansing Method. Oil and water dont mix but an oil will get up in there and help losen things up. You use an oil facial cleanser and thoroughly massage your face in circles. Youll usually feel "grits" which as far as Im aware are little hard parts of gunk getting worked out of your pores (which my gross self finds really satisfying haha) Then you wash it off with a gentle normal cleanser. I also just started using an SA product called Pore Release by Hero Cosmetics and its the first thing Ive tried I felt like Im actually seeing results from.
Hey, What oils do you use ?
@@kacey_alexandra6311hi, you can use any light oil I use a combo of olive oil, grape seed, and sweet almond. Also camellia oil is lovely just more pricey. Apply the oil and massage your face, then take a small towel and wet it with hot water and put on your face to wipe off the oil, then wash with a regular cleanser. Your skin will be so soft and clear!
What oil cleanser do you use?
I just bought my first oil cleanser to try this method, interested to see the results.
Yes to this! Double cleansing changed my skincare journey forever. My skin is smoother and much clearer than before. I use the cocokind oil cleanser(it’s kinda thick, likes balm consistency), followed by the la roche posay cleanser
Sephora girls/kids: WAAHHH I GOT ACNE NOW😭😭😭😭
On Rare Occasions those black spots are neither! They’re “Trichostasus Spinulosa” up to 8 tiny black hairs in one pore! No they’re not Sebaceous Filaments and they’re not vellus hairs. It’s a pretty uncommon condition but pretty cool under a microscope 😊
I swear some of my pores have hair peeking out of them and I can't tweeze or squeeze them
@@lalalalaland84You’re not wrong! There is hair all over the face. If you grab a mirror and have the sun hitting your face just right, you can usually see them all along the lower cheek and jawline. Or just try getting your whole face threaded and you will FEEL each individual hair being ripped out. The results are nice 😁 it helps skin to look smoother, less chance of infection than dermaplaning/shaving, and make up will appear a lot smoother on the face.
100th like
I had a few a couple years back under my arm, was like 7 hairs in one spot, could NOT understand wtf was happening 😅
I’ve had so many of these just like 7 hairs all in one pore!
*cries in salicylic acid allergy*
ouch 😞 I wonder what works for you since you have an allergy? 😄
can you not take aspirin either?
@@fs8972 nope :/ I take paracetamol (tylenol) mostly. The thing is, I've never tested for allergies in that regard, but both my parents are severally allergic to it (my mum has had anaphylatic chock bc of it) so I'm so not putting myself through the risk of having to go to the hospital just to test if I'm indeed allergic or not. That's okay, paracetamol works most times tbh.
i heard oil cleansers help idk if that causes allergic reaction tho 😅
Can you use retinoids ? Retin A works wonders (stay out of the sun or use sunblock) and many insurance companies will pay for it if used to treat acne. Most doctors will give you a prescription
I have the ceraVe SA smoothing cleanser. How many times do I use it? Cause I don’t think I’m using it right and do I end it off by putting moisturizer after?
I used almost all these products and I still have blackheads, but not as much as I used to have 3 years ago… NEVER FORGET the perfect skin doesn’t exist, just the best version of it ❤
Reduce the amount of animal fat, dairy fat, and seed oils in your diet to reduce these clogged sebacious glands.
@@NLR759 a year ago I was diagnosed with pre-diabetes and since that I’ve improved my eating habits a lot! Now I’m at my ideal weight thanks to a healthy low fat diet and I still have some blackheads that I remove each 3-4 weeks and I’m okay with that because I have combo skin type and it’s normal to have them especially around the nose. What I want to say it’s that you don’t have to get obsessed buying skincare products to completely get rid off blackheads because it’s a natural consequence of being alive ✨
@NLR759 as long as you aren't eating unhealthy, this won't stop these filaments. We can see the vegan propaganda from a mile away
Самый лучший рецепт это мужское сперма если по вечерам мажешь каждый день то кожа будет великолепна моя подруга каждый день мажет и лицо вообще блистает от кона тоже помогает чтобы было чистое без не каких добавок
@@NLR759no don’t listen to this moron. I’m about to finish by bachelors in nutritional science. Good fat from REAL (non processed) foods has to be one of the best possible things for your skin health. Eat fatty cuts of red meat with collagen. Eat it all. The one thing I agree with is seed oils. Eliminate those completely it’s helped me tremendously. Seed oils aren’t natural as it takes millions of seeds to produce little oil. Anything like vegetable oil, rapeseed(canola), sunflower, sesame, cottonseed, corn oil, and soybean. Avoid these at all costs. The only oils you should consume aren’t from seeds and aren’t refined in a factory. Here are some cheaper alternatives that have way more health benefits and aren’t toxic to your body like seed oils: avocado oil, coconut, peanut, olive oil, also animal lard, and bacon fat are great. Any sort of beef tallow. Even regular old butter or clarified butter(ghee) are all 100x better options. Please do research if you don’t believe me😊
I used to have this problem and what worked for me was: emptying (squeezing) my pores nightly, using an oil control cleanser, Retin A nightly (many insurance companies will pay for it to be used for acne) and an oil free moisturizer containing salicylic acid during the day esp. under makeup. Many people don't understand the purpose of a moisturizer if they have oily skin. There's a difference between oil (as from the skin) & water (coming form an OIL FREE moisturizer) oily skin can still become dehydrated esp while using retinoids. It also keeps pollution and makeup from seeping into pores
that sounds hard: I'd rather be ugly
А ц вас какая кожа ели честно?
@@annabethsmith-kingsley2079 the easier version is Oil cleansers
you REALLY shouldn't squeeze these pores unless you can do it extremely gently and still remove them. If you do it with any sort of pressure, you can easily scar/open the pores up worse and end up either exacerbating the issue, or with small scare wounds on your nose. If you want to remove them before exfoliating, you should look at pore strips instead
An extra tip, try cleansing your face with salicylic acid cleanser for 45 seconds to one minutes in circular motion throughout your face. If you have combination skin like having T-Zone where pores produce a lot of sebum, you can focus on those area longer than your dry skin area. Hope it helps!
I have had this problem bothering me since I went through puberty (I am now 22)... I've managed to keep it down most of the time after picking up on a routine in most recent years, but I had no idea these were not blackheads!!! This video is a blessing
Highly reccomend the CeraVe SA cleanser. Dampen your face, massage for a moment and then wait for it to dry a bit before you rinse - that's the best way to use active cleansers and get the benefits!
It lessened the black pores?
do we use it daily like a normal cleanser? I have a normal-dry skin..
Does it work for combination skin?
Can anyone give me an idea of how often to use the Cerave salicylic acid cleanser? I have mixed skin, my cheeks are normal but my T zone is oily, I have those filaments all over my nose.
She could talk about the most bland topic and make it interesting. Her voice is divine!
FINALLY. Someone who had actual products they recommend. Thank you!
are there other ways to remove them without buying those products?
Yes. Baking soda does wonders. What I do is wash my face with soap and exfoliating glove, wash off with water, put 1 teaspoon of baking soda and gently massage it on your face, paying extra attention to specifically oily parts. Let the paste sit for about 10 minutes and wash it off with water. All done, nothing else needed. Just don't forget to use a moisturizer cream on your face afterwards.
I no longer have acne and black heads all over my face. I only have sebaceous filaments on my T zone and inner cheeks since using 0.1% tretinoin for the past few years. I know it’s not a good idea, but a few months ago, I discovered that I can pluck them out with nail nippers. It’s so satisfying to see an empty pore. Nothing gets rid of them for me except for doing that. I try not do it because I feel like they keep my skin moisturized 😅
Oh man your the best, ive just been squeezing that shit out at like 3am 💀
it beceause of sugar consomation just stop eating any sugar for 3 OR 4 DAYS and its go dont need any bullshit product
Not me watching this right before eating dinner:
May I be able to afford skin care one day.
Ordinary has a great price at Target
Me too😩
Saving up for this one product because my nose has a lot of these 🤢
Reduce the amount of animal fat, dairy fat, and seed oils in your diet to reduce these clogged sebacious glands.
I also recommend The Ordinary products. The TH-camr Cassandra Bankson has a great video on an Ordinary routine for under $100 that helped me radically transform my skin (including resolving this issue with my nose). 10/10 recommend.
Literally answered the question the internet couldnt. Thank you so much!
Agree 💯 percent! Almost 3 years ago I googled and looked in my old Cosmo notes and books and talked to EVERYONE I know about "have you noticed small hairs growing out of your nose pores?" My mans friend walked in in me plucking my 👃 nose. 😂he was flabbergasted to say the least. Had to let him know that woman get hair anywhere a man can, just usually not as thick etc. that was hilarious I'll never forget 😂
I have these and always thought they were blackheads. I use all these products you mentioned and still have them. The only thing I find that takes them away is the sun.
I usually have to tweeze these things every two weeks. Perhaps one of these products will help. This gives me hope.
Nose strips work
you are not supposed to remove them just keep them clean. Nose strips are bad but I suppose you both mean for blackheads and not what she was talking about in the video 😊 strips remove both blackheads and healthy sebaceous filaments and dermatologists do not like nose strips because they can do damage to the skin... so should be used rarely if so. Exfoliating is good but with chemical exfoliator like AHA not those scrubs with granules.
@@peixeess Why are people not "supposed to remove them"? Dermatologists and estheticians remove them all the time.
They clog up your pores and there is no harm in removing them. I have used nose strips for years with no problems.
literally nothing bad will happen if your pores are "clogged" by these things. take it easy😅
@@screamingseal1137 they're gross looking sometimes.
I used to think they were normal until a guy i was with called me strawberry nose. Then i started clearing them out and havent stopped 😂

Reduce the amount of animal fat, dairy fat, and seed oils in your diet to reduce these clogged sebacious glands.
@@NLR759 thank you for that
Forget about all of the chemicals she recommends! Good ol Biore nose strips work just great, and it's cheaper than those bottled products. IN FACT, THAT'S A BIORE STRIP THAT'S PULLING UP ALL THAT GUNK IN HER VIDEO!😂
Use products to remove the natural oil, so your skin compensate by making more oil, so you can use more products to remove the oil.
That is funny asf LMFAO and so true
I fucking HATE skincare its always so fancy so expensive and so so so so sooooooooo difficult to have a good skincare routine for a period of time. Not to mention it is basically impossible if your too young and have allergies to these products.
You don't have to spend any money on skin care. I only wash my face with warm water. What I did get rid of these oily dark sebacious glands was to change my diet. Reduce the amount of animal fat, dairy fat, and seed oils in your diet to reduce these clogged sebacious glands.
The ordinary products actually work well and are from $6-12 at ulta, other stores! Same actives as fancy ones that do cost sooooo much 😩
Thanks so much! I have skin picking disorder (Compulsive skin picking (CSP), Dermatillomania) and for me one of the biggest triggers are the prominent sebaceous filaments on my face, so treating those will also help reduce my complications.
Is there a way to make your pores smaller? Or is that just dependent on genetics?
It's genetics, but there are ingredients that have been proven to reduce the size of pores. I believe salicylic acid is one of them.
stop eating sugar - use ice packs
Reduce the amount of animal fat, dairy fat, and seed oils in your diet to reduce these clogged sebacious glands.
Its impossible to make your pores smaller. They're not windows you can open or close. You CAN reduce the appearance of them with "pore-minimizing" products that have actives like retinoids which will temporarily stimulate the collagen surrounding the pores. Again, this is temporary and large pores CANNOT shrink.
Laser will make them a little bit smaller. Anything else will only clean them and you will think that they are smaller.
I was made fun of in school because people thought they were blackheads and I couldn’t handle the teasing anymore and tried to get a dermatologist but she didn’t help me. I’m hyperaware of people looking at me, thinking they’re staring at my nose and are disgusted with me. Literally if I didn’t have this issue, I would be a million times more confident. When I tried clay masks, they would work for literally like 5 seconds - empty pores - and then just look the same as before. I’ve just given up, I’m so exhausted from trying.
don’t even stress about it. i have the same issue i cant even see them unless i get all up in the mirror. it isn’t even noticeable unless someone is right up in your face looking at your nose.
Same here, mine are also huge and no matter how much makeup I use to cover it up, or how many products or scrubbing I use. The appearance stays the same.
Try niacinamid, works for my bf
Same in junior high i was called the black nosed girl or big nose (my nose isint even big) but the black dots made it appear larger and puberty n all that hit so i became super insecure with my nose. I never found a solution but i find that exfoliating daily and using the ordinary products has reduced their appearance. They are more noticeable if i dont exfoliate everyday tho
Try those nivea sticky strips that you leave on your mose to dry and then pull off
Blessings in an abundance of the faith. I salute you. 😘🙏Grace and peace be unto you and to this place. God bless you. 💫Thank you. Will you believe and receive Jesus Christ as your lord and personal saviour??? I do. 🌏
I use all the products mentioned, yet I’m still struggling
Same the Cerave cleanser has done nothing for me, also to gentle.
The only thing keeping my skin at bay is The Ordinary serum, its the only thing that keeps me from breaking out with more sebum but at the same time does not clear up my face.
Do you exfoliate? That is very important to get rid of the dead skins, twice a week.
same
10% Azelaic Acid (I use Eva Naturals or Baha brand) + plus any serum containing 10% Niacinamide with at least 2% Zinc PCA (it's the Zinc PCA that's most important here - it regulates my oil production like nothing else I've ever seen). And unlike other acids, azelaic acid is non-irritating... in fact, I think it actually helped my skin become more resilient to strong exfoliants.
As the good doctor says, I've been using retinoids, salicylic acid, and glycolic acid for 20 years (all VERY carefully and patiently worked up to in terms of strength and frequency, so as not to burn my face off!!!). These are critical for exfoliation and keeping acne at bay, not to mention INDISPENSIBLE for anti-aging (especially glycolic). But none of them ever did so much as a _thing_ for the sebacious filaments on my nose in all these years of use. It wasn't until I added the Azelaic Acid and Zinc PCA this past summer that I ever had progress with those.
Seriously, within one week, those little black dots I had ALL MY LIFE -- that were resistant even to the highest strength retinoids and acids -- simply vanished. My nose became as smooth and clear as a baby's bottom, and I wanted to kick myself for waiting so long to try these other two products that dermatologists rarely talk about.
Also, one tip about salicylic acid products, especially for sensitive skin: I find SA cleansers a waste of money as the product doesn't sit on the skin long enough to do its job, and the 2% products can be way too harsh for daily use. Instead, I like to use 0.5% in a moisturizer that stays on the skin all day. Neutrogena Oil Free Acne Moisturizer Pink Grapefruit or Cetaphil Gentle Clear Mattifying Acne Moisturizer are both cheap and effective (although, once I added the Zinc PCA, I found "mattifying" products like Cetaphil to be unecessary and overlt drying).
Lastly, just in case any newbies are reading this, I feel compelled to implore people just starting out with retinol or acids to PLEASE BE CAREFUL!!! Assuming you have a correctly formulated product (pH 3 - 4 for acids), you can do serious damage to your skin quicker than you realize!!! Start with low strength products, one type at a time, and slowly work up. Back off at the SLIGHTEST sign of redness or inflammation, wait for the skin to fully heal, then resume.
It can be slow and tough going at first, but your skin will acclimate over months and years, and the results are so worth it!!!
@@margueritezoehey i’ve dealt with acne for a while and recently came across 10% azelaic acid but thought that it might be too strong bc 10% sounds like a lot. could you tell me how frequently you use it? or is it part of your everyday routine?
Guys, this is an active fight. No one product will get rid of it. Chances are, if you have it, you have oily skin that can handle regular exfoliation (every second or third day). I use the ordinary/minimalist aha bus pha 32% and it's magic! Use it in combination with salicylic acid, just not oj the same day. I use salicylic a day before and after the jrxt mornings exfoliation, I'm like glass.
Reduce the amount of animal fat, dairy fat, and seed oils in your diet to reduce these clogged sebacious glands.
@@NLR759 That's not how that works. While diet is a factor, it has to do more with our skin type and we cant change that, its genetic. Keeping your skin clean and well moisturized will do a lot more than just changing your diet

I use water and a wash cloth to scrub the surface of the skin, which opens pores allowing the contents to be removed. Liquids can not actually exfoliate inside a pore, especially when the pore is clogged.
All this time I thought I had blackheads…
This is extremely helpful! I’ve had these for years and always assumed they were just blackheads
If i'm 12 and have this problem what products do you recommend? I don't want to use anything unsafe for my skin
it beceause of sugar consomation just stop eating any sugar for 3 OR 4 DAYS and its go dont need any bullshit product
What about the strong tape being used successfully in the video?
They’re probably the Bioré pore strips. I use them & it pulls them right out. Read the instructions and follow them! It’s easy!
@@FNJ720Thanks!
thank u!!!! i’ve never had any luck getting rid of these bc nobody ever tells us which products/what kind of acids we have to use
I’m 35 and I still have this fcking problem 😢
I use CeraVe and Kiehls products 🤨
I use turmeric soap and it cleared that ❤
yeah! natural way
One thing that has helped me for some reason, although its purpose is different, is the COSRX blackhead serum. It basically cleanses pores. I need it cause the salicylic acid didn t turn out to be so effective in my case
Reduce the amount of animal fat, dairy fat, and seed oils in your diet to reduce these clogged sebacious glands.
the cosrx blackhead serum is salicylic acid tho?
@@marla0412 not really, it is called BHA Blackhead Power Liquid :) and I don't think it contains the salicylic acid
@@andreipsq BHA is salicylic acid tho
@@NLR759The 90’s called. They want their fear of fat back.
Oh! That's what those are! I have a bunch all over my nose and chin
😢me too
When did u get them
I've had these subtle, black dots as long as I can remember! Mainly on the nose, if I look up close there's a bunch. Looking forward to the day I can try out one of these products, thanks!
Dr Simi you make us smarter as always 😊. Thank you for sharing your know with us🙏🏽❤
Why would you ever do this? cosmetic? I would think your body has the sebaceous filaments for a reason.
Personally I use an aveeno foaming face wash w .5% salicylic acid. It’s a super low concentration so it’s very gentle on my very sensitive skin. I’ve only been using it a couple weeks and haven’t noticed improvements in my sebaceous filaments, but I have seen visible improvement in my acne
LOVE aveeno products. I can only use aveeno, e45 or occasionally a bland body shop aloe night cream because skin flares red and sore to anything else. The oat base in aveeno makes such a difference, so soothing! I didn't know they had a face wash, I will get one. Thank you for the information! I hope it helps you.
@@ah-ie9dytry farmacy products. I have sensitive skin and all I use is farmacy now. They have amazing stuff. Their "honey" line is my favorite
That's SO helpful!! I've been searching for what to do for months and you just made it so clear!! Thank you!!
most people don't need salicylic acid face washes and can get away with a basic mild soap. unnecessary use of salicylic acid can actually exacerbate skin conditions.
Please make a video about strawberry legs 🥺

There's a reason your body does/has this. Fighting against it will just create more skinproblems and hyperfocus on something you can't change wich leads to frustration and spending money on nothing.
yes, the reason your body is producing so much oil on your skin is because of diet. Reduce the amount of animal fat, dairy fat, and seed oils in your diet to reduce these clogged sebacious glands.
@@NLR759 Hahaha. Eating fat is not the same as having fat on your skin, just like eating cholesterol doesn't mean your own cholesterol goes up. This is such a flawed understanding of how the body works.
@@YannickLB Tell them lol! I have steaks once a month, barely drink milk and rarely fry anything with seed oil and have not noticed a difference compared to when I drank milk a lot and ate more foods with animal fat.
Needed this thank you so much have three girls and I just went out n bought stuff for black heads for them. Now I will be buying correct things. ❤❤❤❤❤ Thank you ,,💐💐🌸💜
Thanks for being the first who is helping with these Products ❤😊
I use the crave salicylic acid cleanser and I still get a ton of clogged pores. I have no clue what to do anymore.
I appreciate your precise and spot-on explanations. Thank you
Thank you so much, a quick and simple to understand explanation plus a simple solution. Very useful short
Thank you for this information! I’m currently in Esthetics school so this is very helpful ❤
been using Ceravee SA for ages but it still there 😂😂😂😂
Don't listen to this marketing. You don't have to spend money to solve this problem. Reduce the amount of animal fat, dairy fat, and seed oils in your diet to reduce these clogged sebacious glands.
Thank you for the tips. I’ll buy the Cerave SA for my daughter.
I do all of this and they are still here 😢
Same🥲🥲🥲
I had the same experience. I found adding Niacinamide 10% serum from The Ordinary to my routine helped tremendously with clearing up my nose and it has also stopped my hormonal acne breakouts from happening monthly! It’s been a game changer for me and maybe it could help you. The one from the Ordinary is a really affordable option.
Wash yoiur face with soup then put bicarbonate of soda as your musk u will thnk me
Reduce the amount of animal fat, dairy fat, and seed oils in your diet to reduce these clogged sebacious glands.
Could pls also say some natural home made products
Salicylic acid and retinol are evidence based solutions that allow for a consistent product that will be shelf stable. She recommended pretty affordable options. Natural remedies come with risks and inconsistencies.
Baking soda is a great exfoliate
I agree, I love CeraVe because I’m a man who wants to take care of his skin and I don’t want a ton of fragrences or anything other than the skincare essentials in my products. I also like to use a tinted mineral sunscreen on my face and a non-greasy chemical sunscreen on the rest of my exposed skin
Thank you for sharing doc.
Is there any natural ways to stop or remove them?
would dilute white vinegar would be too strong?
A good facial routine for oily skin
Fun fact: you don't need all that product. You just need to wash your face with water 5x a day with clean water. If you have dirty tap water, put it in basin for at least few hours and use the top. Or just use filter on your tap water
@@arvin6606 cleanser ain't enough lol
izin yaa

I wash my face with soda bicarbonate (don’t scrub) and Vichy normaderm… and just putting no cream but castor oil (not too much)… I’m 38 and my face looks amazing
Mama used to get so confused why what she thought were blackheads wouldn't come out with the usual stuff. They could be shaved, though! (Hair, yeah.) Exfoliating stuff that worked for me was Himalaya's aloe vera and apricot scrub. ^^
The Cerave resurfacing serum changed my skin forever, it's AMAZING. I have oily combo skin that also gets dry in winter. This serum is gentle enough for daily use, clears all acne and blackheads and gives smooth skin. Plus my acne scars are gone! I had alot of dark marks on my cheeks. I've tried literally hundreds of creams, serums etc. I also tried every vitamin c cream for scars but that is my number 1! I can't say enough good things about it.
Or, you can fast and reduce sugar/carb/junk food intake. But that won't make them any money now will it.
I like that you were straight forward and showed long clips of the products. Followed because you aren’t like the rest.
I use clean hot water then cold water, and i have no problem of this type
her skin is flawless so she must be telling the truth.
make up is also a thing!!
I prefer to leave them. They never bothered me.😊
Hi,
I have a question that is bothering me-
What if someone where to squeeze them until some comes out? Okay- yeah- i may have done it… only once though! Can I possibly get scarring from it?
I don't think scarring is an issue, youre issue is that you will put a lot of pressure on your nose which can deepen the oil into your skin and can irritate it too
@@LameBoyLee Thank you for replying to my comment, I will definitely never make this mistake again and will remember this reply. Thank you once again.
Is the CeraVe cleanser suitable for oily/sensitive skin?
Unscented Soap and water also helps if products don't help
