Blackhead Removal
The following are some tips for removing blackheads:
- Keep the skin as clean and oil free as possible. Use natural or chemically prepared cleansers, astringent solutions or masks to accomplish this. Avoid harsh soaps that may irritate the skin or any creams that leave an oily finish.
- Use a gentle exfoliant to keep the dead cells off your skin and away from the pore openings.
- Avoid harsh squeezing or scraping at the blackhead. Excessive squeezing can damage the skin surround the pore and can actually increase the size of the pore leading to more blackheads in the future.
- A warm compress of water applied to the area of the blackhead followed by a very, very gentle pressure can help in clearing the clog from the pore.
- Commercial “blackhead strips” which are basically a tape like substance that is placed over the nose and then pulled off will remove some blackheads that are at the surface. Caution should be used with these products and it is important to read the directions completely before deciding to use the strips or not.

Proactive Solution is FANTASTIC. I have the large pores and blackheads too. After about two weeks, I noticed a reduction. The blackeheads are now completely gone. I don't think anything out there really can permanently change the size of your pores. But I have found that Proactive CLEANS your face better than anything I have ever used. It's amazing. Not just another "as seen on TV" product. I'm about to try their make-up products. Although this product is targeted to teens and early twenties, anyone can use it and it is also marketed for adult acne. I am 35 years old and had mild to moderate acne on my chin & forehead. I have not had a new pimple form since I've been using the product for 3 months now. It's fabulous and worth every penny.

You get blackheads because your pores are blocked. I would suggest filling a bowl with warm water, and placing your head over the bowl with a towel over your head for around 10 minutes. This will let the steam from the water open your pores and let them breath. After 10 minutes wash your face and splash with cool water to close the pores and pat dry with a towel. Do this a few times a week and continue to cleanse morning and night.

The only real remedy would most likely be laser treatment if you want to reduce the size of the pores.
Unfortunately, the more you clean, the bigger the pores seem to get. But, if they are already enlarged, as you've mentioned, keeping them clean will at least help reduce the appearance, especially when close up.
If you decide to look into laser treatment, it would be a good idea to shop around and compare prices and services.....good luck

I have the same problem and the only person that can help is a dermatologist. Many years back I used SYY pdts and went for 5 sessions of microdermabrasion. It greatly minimized my enlarged clogged pores, lesser white and black heads too. Currently, I am with DrX, for both treatment and pdts. They have a pdt call DrX CF which is particularly good for white/blackheads. Another brand you can try is Dermadex, which have a cleanser and cream specifically for white/black heads.

While it took little less than two months for me to really see a difference, my acne, blackheads and whole lot of other skin problems I had such as eczema had completely cleared! It was totally amazing...

If you've tried some blackhead cleansers and acne spot treatments and nothing has worked, my suggestion is to go to a derm[atoligist] and see what they suggest. There aren't many other solutions. Good luck!

I would recommend some witch hazel. It can be found at all most any food store or market. It is usually found near the alchool. Rub it on your face and nose twice a day. And they should start to go away. Good luck.
