I've been on the regimen for 13 weeks today. Great results, probably 80-90% clear from the big pimples I used to get, but some stubborn pimples and spots don't want to just go away right now. I've noticed that I have really big pores all over my nose and on the area that is under my eyes and next to my nose, almost near the cheeks. Not oddly, those are some of the oiliest areas on my face, my forehead is very oily too, but the pores don't look big... Yet. Those areas I mentioned also have a lot of blackheads and clogged pores, no matter how much I cleanse or how much BP I use, they won't clear up or shrink! Its so frustrating and its as bad as having big pimples. I've been thinking of getting a BHA (Salicylic Acid) toner to apply during the regimen, but I already have AHA+. Ive been applying it at night, mixed with equal part (half and half) of moisturizer for about a couple weeks. It doesn't seem to be doing anything except give me no more flaky or dry skin, and kinda is fading my many acne scars.
So what should I do to clear up my blackheads and clogged pores and huge pores? Is there anything I can also do to finally make my face less oily?
PLEASE HELP.
Just a quick question, do you wear glasses or sunglasses? Whenever I wear sunglasses I sweat right underneath the eye area and on my nose. A day later pimples appear. I began cleaning my glasses before using them.
I do wear glasses all day. I dont notice sweating under my eyes near my nose, but it does get oily there, i dont think not having glasses would help anyways. Yeah, make sure you clean your glasses and where they touch your face, or else oily, grease, dead skin and junk will build up and clog your pores. I clean my glasses everyday normally just because they get smudged and stuff, so its best to clean the frame too during that time.

Interesting. Whenever I don't wear glasses, there is less spots around my eye area. I always figured that wearing glasses blocks pores around the eye area, etc. What do you think?
