I've been dealing with these clogged pores (or enlarged pores) and redness on my face for years and years. I'm not sure how to get rid of these exactly. I've tried a lot of different things and none have really helped that much. I tried tca/salicylic chemical peels, dermarolling, blackhead remover tool, clarisonic mia, pore strips and charcoal masks.

I was thinking of buying a microdermabrasion device. Do you think that's my best option? Or should I try retin A, AHA's, more healthy diet, do a cleanse, supplements, or decrustination at a spa? I'm running out of ideas, and I feel that this is really holding me back. I have less than $200 to spend on my face so need to pick the best option. I'm starting to also consider using a skin lightening product like Kojic acid. Even if it doesn't unclog pores, it can make everything less red which might be good enough.

I'm trying to search online for before and after pictures of people who had similar skin as mine but who fixed theirs. So I could see what product they used and just copy that.

Thanks.
