I’ve always been scared of experimenting with specialized skincare. I’m 25, combination skin, my skincare routine is pretty basic: cleansing oil, a Glamfox Rice Niacinamide face wash, cera v normal moisturizer, sunscreen if it’s sunny and I’m gonna be out. But now I want actively work on improving my skin starting with these pores that create this texture on my nose. I’ve tried nose patches that work like wax strips, it becomes soft but the pores stay and it gets textured and my nose becomes rough after a week or so. I suppose the cleansing oil helps reduce the visibility of the black heads but doesn’t make my nose smooth. I want it to be as close as possible to the skin on my cheeks. What should I do?? In the picture, I’m wearing concealer under my eyes, no other complexion product

Social media and constant filtering has set completely unrealistic goals. It’s really pitiful.

What pores???????????? Get off social media and dont look in the mirror so closely. Your face looks normal. side note: This is getting redundant now the 7th poster this weekend who is under 30 over-worrying about things that truly should not be a concern as the pores look normal here.

Yeah, I'm not sure how many more times I can handle saying "social media has ruined us all." OP has beautiful skin.

You can’t get rid of your pores

First off, your skin looks amazing. Second, salicylic acid is great for helping clear pores/blackheads. I use Paula's Choice 2% BHA liquid exfoliant. I suggest using it at night and be sure to put on SPF every morning. Third, those pore strips should only be used sparingly, as they can be quite rough on your skin.

Zoom - zoom - zoom. Please!

Double cleansing is a great start, and an at-home LED device really helps smooth out texture and pores I would like you to try one

u/Healthy_Mammoth8466

Monty facials and home care exfoliation (salicylic acid, retinol- starts with once a week and build up your tolerance up to every other day)

Why wouldn't you do a close-up? Ca'n't see anything.

u/Weary_Mousse_3921

You need salicylic acid, a retinoid, and niacinamide

I used to have a pretty similar problem with my pores because I have very big pores, I used BHA(salicylic acid) and that helped but it made my skin dry out. I got a cheap bottle that last me over a year from target(I used it 3ish times a week with a light moisturizer after) but in recent years I've been using the water melon glow serum from glow recipe before putting on my makeup and it's has a similar effect without drying my skin out!!
