fit please help!

i've had blackheads on my nose since FOREVER. i really don't know what else to do. i wash my face twice a day and even use a benzyol peroxide solution on my entire face to prevent overall acne. i don't really have acne at all anymore but the blackheads remain. i've tried clearasal (SP?) but all it does it dry the fuck out of my nose.

any suggestions?

Give Neutrogena Daily Blackhead-Elimitaing scrub a shot. It has exfoliating particles in it, works pretty good for me. I've not had trouble with it drying out or irritating, but don't overdo it. Scrubs, in my experience, work well against blackheads, while washes help out against pustle acne more.

OP here, i actually do use an apricot scrub designed for blackheads.

it doesn't work.

as far as what i wash my face with i just use good old soap and water at night and the apricot scrub in the shower then apply bp when i get out.

Stop washing your face with 'good old soap and water' and use something that also moisturizes. Pay more than $2 for it and you'll be good.

I don't get it. Why the fuck would you use the same shit that you use to scrub your fucking asshole in the shower on your goddamn face? MOISTURIZE NIGGER. SHIT'S IMPORTANT.

Same problem as OP. I find the best thing has been using St. Ives exfoliating scrub. Pretty decently cheap and feels like sandpaper - so you know it's working. After that get something like a Bore pore-strip to rip the shit out of the pores and then rinse in ICE COLD water.
That really is the key. Soak a towel in hot water to open up your pores before washing, wash with warm water, and then use ice cold water to rinse off. Closes the pores faster than alcohol will and won't dry your skin out.

And for the love of god, stop touching your face.

I'm 19 and I have pretty big pores... exfoliating helps but still, they get full of shit within like an hour.

I think I'll try the ice cold rinse... hopefully these fuck off pores will close a little after the sebum stops going crazy.

I use Biore's blackhead removal strips about once a month. They're amazing. Basically it's this little strip of paper that you adhere to your nose and after about 15 mins you pull it off and the vast majority of my blackheads pull of with it. It's probably one of the most satisfiying things to do. Nothing like seeing all the shit that was living in your nose on this little strip of paper.

I believe in taking care of myself and a balanced diet and rigorous exercise routine. In the morning if my face is a little puffy I'll put on an ice pack while doing stomach crunches. I can do 1000 now. After I remove the ice pack I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower I use a water activated gel cleanser, then a honey almond body scrub, and on the face an ex foliating gel scrub. Then I apply an herb-mint facial mask which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an after shave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion.

Healing earth/clay sucks out the excessive oil pretty well.. scratch out the solid stuff (ugh) after removing the hardened earth. After using it you should cool down the skin to close the pores and then moisturize.

There's just a little problem with it, you skin might not be too happy with the stress, and if you stop using it regulary (like every 2-3 days), then the blackheads come back. First worse than they were (especially when you stop moisturizing), then it goes back to like they were before.
