I think I must hold the record for deepest pores. They just fill up constantly and I know this is normal but in my case its beyond what normal people are dealing with. I have to use a pore scraper every week and I must end up with half a teaspoons worth of sebum from my nose and cheeks. If not my face just continues to get worse. Ive tried everything from the dermatologist apart from accutane. The only thing that made a difference was the antibiotics but as soon as the course ended my face blew up worse than ever. I fear accutane would just be another repeat of this so I havent gone down that route.

Has anyone else had a similar experience with any resolution? Im 36, have tried every face wash, cream, gel and diet out there. The dermatologists dont really seem to care and just call it acne when I dont really feel it is. It causes the acne Do you think accutane would have any lasting effects? It supposedly shrinks pores but I find it difficult to believe.

There are some interesting treatments, like Botox, you can check out. Link to article on oily skin treatments.

Also, it sounds so major. Are you female? If so, have you checked your hormone levels to make sure you're doing ok?
