Ive had this problem since age 12 and im now 19


unfortunately my camera on my phone isnt too good so the blackheads and open pores look quite minimal on the photos.






What products can help this?

to wash my face i currently use a tea tree facewash
and i exfoliate 2 times a week.

any help will be greatly appreciated.

Anti biotics (tetracycline) &/or low strength retin a like 0.001% to clear your pores. Great teeth by the way.

i have this too and was wondering why you mentioned retin a? I was just perscribed tazorac and was hoping it would get rid of the tiny plugs that keep filling up in my chin. I thought this was better than retin a?

Thanks ill try to get some prescribed, can anyone recommend a non prescription product for this type of acne/spots?

Ive never tried tazorac, but i have tried most other topicals & retin a is the only one that my skin can tolerate, but only on the lower strengths which similar to bp often work better because your skin can tolerate more regular applications without being soo irritating & drying.

retin a is excellent for clearing pores.

i have gone back to using it recently as my skin was a hormonal mess & have seen significant improvements in 2-3 weeks already, i know it takes time to get the full benefit so sticking with it. (with emu oil inbetween on the dry bits),.
