In reply to May. May, it sounds to me like your skin is dry. But we all have more sebaceous glands on my nose, so it's possible that a moisturiser or something else you're using there is clogging pores. Unfortunately, when the blackheads are too old, the mixture inside is so sticky, it won't budge with products. You need manual extractions.

Hello Gio, I don’t understand what my skin type is. I have dry skin, it feels tight and it’s sometimes flaky especially on the nose area. I have little to no sebum even after hours after washing my face, it’s never oily even when it wake up or after a long day, yet I have a lot of very stubborn blackheads on the nose. I tried various acids even the bha one from Paula choice but they just won’t go away. I went to the dermatologist and she assumed I have combination skin because of the blackheads. She gave me some products for blackheads but of course it doesn’t work, like everything else. I also tried sulgzr mask on my nose, doesn’t work either. The blackheads disappear only for a few hours. Is it possible that I do have combination skin even though I don’t have any oil/sebum on my face?

Hi Gio, My skin became very dry (flaky and stretchy) in past 2 year winters, which happened for first time in my life. I thought it because of the region (non humid) for which I shifted. Before that I used live in humid region (almost about 22 yrs) and skin type is normal all through the years (also in winters). I got my acne at the age of 16 and it still continues. My skin feels normal. My acne normally occurs especially around under my eyes on my cheeks and on my forehead. But I am in dilemma to use products for acne and for left over marks from ages or skin care. Because I left with ? As all they claim "acne is related for oily skin". But I never felt my skin as oily or shiny. I totally don't know what to do. Now I am 24.. left with pinkish and some light brown marks on my cheeks. Please help me dear
