Those are called blackheads.
Method 1
Use Neutrogena Clear Pore Wash/Mask. It has clay and benzoyl peroxide to absorb excess oil, clear away old skin cells and kill bacteria. It works best as a mask - just apply where needed once or twice a week.
Method 2
After washing your face at night, dampen a cotton pad w/ hydrogen peroxide & swipe it over your nose. Hydrogen peroxide will bleach the blackheads & kill the bacteria that cause them.
If you have sensitive skin, leave the hydrogen peroxide on for 5 minutes & rinse it off.
Method 3
Aspirin mask: Crush 4 - 6 plain, uncoated aspirin tablets and mix it w/ a little water to make mask. Or mix them with Queen Helene Mint Julep mask or aloe vera gel instead of water. Apply a thin layer where needed & let dry for 15-20 minutes. Rinse off w/ cool water.
Method 4
Biore Pore Strips - available at many drugstores & mass merchandisers. (e.g. CVS, Ulta, Target)
You can make them yourself:
Strip It Off!
1 Tablespoon Knox unflavored gelatin
1-1/2 Tablespoon milk
Mix two ingredients and microwave for 10 seconds to slightly warm. Using a clean cosmetic brush, apply to nose and chin area. Avoid delicate eye area. Rinse brush immediately.
Allow mixture on nose and chin to dry for 10-15 minutes. Mixture will dry quite stiff and form a "stiff film." Peel off the film and stare at all the little porcupine quills that used to be in your nose pores (one of the chief entertainment factors with Biore Strips!). http://community.livejournal.com/naturalliving/3626203.html
Method 5
Steam facial & use a skin care tool to extract them or press gently w/ your fingertips.

Clean & Clear has a new 3 step kit, sort of like Proactiv Solution, but CC is sooo much better. 1 day I noticed a huge difference in my skin.

use a cleanser specifically for blackheads, a good thing to use is a biore blackhead removing strip, it pulls all the dirts out
