25 yo asian male here. I have very oil skin and blackheads. Now my nose looks absolutely disgusting. I feel extremely self-conscious. 

My pores are extremely enlarged but it seems to be on the surface and not deep enough for TCA. Also there are several scars where pores are connected together. 

What's the best way to control blackheads? I am using Kiehl's now and planning to order 30% salicylic acid to do home chemical peel. Will laser help to even the skin? From my research there is no way to close pores...

This look like early stageRhinophyma, it doesn't really get better but you can slow the progression.
How is the 30% salicylic working? I would stick to that and weekly peels. I might try TCA myself.

@Racinejosh@cookingENGYou guys this post is from 2016. This is very common in ethnic skin types especially Asians who have have large pores and a forum or rosacea called and rhinophyma. Dr's often tca cross the pores, will electrosurgery or co2 laser the raised hypotrophic scars and then resurface the nose. IF your main concern is large pores throughout the face high density fraxel 1927nm is great. Get the oil production under control with a Salicylic Acid wash once a day, some retin-a/tretinorin, and a product like cureology, or pca HA freepigment gel.
