Sebaceous filaments and large pores help

Curious on how to atleast calm these sucker's down. I have so many all over my face, nose/chin are the worst. Tiny black dots all over๐Ÿ˜ญ large pores on my cheeks near my nose too. I also don't know what these are called, they're bumps (I know I shouldn't squeeze them) but little balls that look kinda like whitish clear seeds are in them. Those are all over, worst on my forehead I am so tired of not knowing what to do about my skin

1. double cleansing. oil attracts oil so by massaging your face with an oil cleanser for 1+ minutes, the oil plugs and sebaceous filaments will dissolve. make sure to emulsify your oil cleanser before washing it off! frankly has an oil cleanser than contains BHA/LHA to exfoliate pores. 2. chemical exfoliation. BHA/AHA/LHA/PHA are your best bet for deeply exfoliating and unclogging the pores, thereby reducing the appearance of your pores. 3. peptides. peptides stimulate collagen production and improve skin elasticity/firmness which will strengthen the skin around your pores making them less visible. frankly has a pore peptide serum that has 9 peptides including copper peptides and PHA to gently exfoliate. 4. clay masks. clay absorbs excess sebum, debris, and dead skin from the pores, unclogging/detoxifying them and reducing their appearance. skin1004 and fully cosmetics have clay masks targeting pores. 5. niacinamide. niacinamide controls sebum production, smooths skin texture, promotes even skin tone, and reduces the appearance of pores. 6. green tomato. a new trend in korean skincare is green tomato (tomatidine). sungboon editor and fully cosmetics incorporate this ingredient into their products as tomatidine refines enlarged pores and improves skin elasticity. 4. pink Himalayan salt. the popular poremizing ampoule by skin1004 uses this ingredient since it has natural detoxifying properties which reduce pore size.

Double cleansing with a good oil cleanser or balm should help with the filaments and the tiny black dots. For the bumps Iโ€™d recommend an exfoliator like aha or bha. Doing both of those things has helped my skin a lot.

Iโ€™ve tagged the products that I use the most. I was already using a cleansing oil from DHC but really noticed results when I switched to the Beauty of Joseon oil.

I recommend on using BHAs (Salicylic Acid). They help exfoliate the skin and also clears pores of any oil and bacteria that can lead to sebaceous filaments. Also, double cleansing is a must! This makes sure that any sunscreen or makeup is properly removed. It can also help with sebaceous filaments. Start the first cleanse using an oil-based cleanser (oil cleansers, cleansing balms). The second cleanse is a water-based cleanser
