Black dots on pores

I have this type of black dots around my cheeks (pores area) and I don't even know whether its blackheads or what. I am sure that its not a blackheads because the area is not rough. Do i need to use BHA toner?? Help your girl out 😌

I think these may be sebaceous filaments, which is when sebum gets gunked up around a hair. Do you use an oil cleanser?

They look more like sebaceous filaments to me as well. BHA products have helped me clear those and keep them at bay, I tend to get a lot of them on my nose.

Yes, I would recommend a BHA cleanser and/or toner, depending on what your skin can tolerate. I can use both in the same routine, as BHA isn’t irritating for me. I like the Peach Slices products currently, but I have also used the other products in the past and like those as well.
