Help your girlie out! Enlarged pores and stubborn sebaceous filaments/blackheads. Nothing’s working out
Hi guys! My skin looks like this (it’s actually milder in the photo). In person, my pores are much more noticeable, especially on my nose where I have a lot of enlarged pores and what I think are sebaceous filaments or blackheads. They’re quite dark and have been one of my biggest insecurities for years 🥺
I’ve tried different products over time, but I honestly don’t see much improvement huhu
For reference, here’s my current routine:
Morning
Human Nature Tomato with Cica Facial Wash
Niacinamide
Luxe Organix Moisturizer (green) or Fresh Skinlab Tomato Serum Lotion
Evening
Human Nature Tomato with Cica Facial Wash
Luxe Organix Moisturizer (green) or Fresh Skinlab Tomato Serum Lotion
Actives
Kleud Salicylic Acid – 2–3x a week (followed by moisturizer only)
Luxe Organix AHA/BHA Toner – 2x a week
Adapalene – once a week
I know how to schedule my actives and which ones shouldn’t be used together, so I don’t layer incompatible ingredients. I also used good molecules retinol consistently for about a year before switching to adapalene because I wasn’t seeing any results. 😭
Atp, I’m honestly lost. Is there something wrong with my routine? Am I using the wrong products, or is this something that can’t really be fixed with skincare alone? If anyone has dealt with the same issue, I’d really appreciate your advice or product recommendations. Thank you!
