Have you tried a strong salicylic acid peel? 20-30%?

I'm planning to do one myself after I use up my 2% salicylic acid liquid. Right now I'm applying the 2% liquid in a layer thick enough that it actually dries in a layer overnight that I can peel off in the morning. It seems to do more than rubbing it in.

i have this problem.

I found this works-

try exfoliating with a gentle scrub every 3 days at night. This loosens any buildup on your skin that usually causes the blackheads. I use H20 gentle exfoliate sea mineral scrub.

Also use a gentle cleanser as well, try not to overwash. Only when your skin needs to be cleaned because i notice i get blackheads when i tend to cleanse my skin when I dont need to. For example just cleansing it because its morning and night. Try skipping a night and just washing with water (medium-cold) because that way the oils on your skin get a chance to do 'their thing' rather than us using chemicals to do their job.

obviously diet and water plays a role, everyone should know that.
