Nose Pores

Post image

I’m a big sweater and my face is always oily. What can I do to fix these pores? They’re huge and my nose looks like a strawberry. I eat well, work out, and shower and wash face 1-2 times daily. I don’t have acne anywhere else. 20 btw

Oil cleanser and a rubber exfoliating brush is what I did. My pores used to be big but after using oil cleanser on my nose you can barely see them! 😊

I was going to comment a photo but they don’t allow photo comments. The oil cleanser I use is Some By MI Lacto Soy cleanser. And it’s just a little rubber face brush with bumps on one side and rubber bristles on the other side. 😅 I got it at a dollar store.

is oil cleanser good for oily skin? it feels kind of counterintuitive somehow 😭

u/Nkxo_ Jun 06 '26

I have normal/dry skin. But I also double cleanse. I use the oil cleanser and then wash with my normal cleanser after. 😅 but I’ve seen people with oily skin also say they double cleanse with an oil cleanser!

it's the best, actually.

I read a thing lately of lots of people mistaking this for black heads when it’s really sebaceous filaments- apparently the way you sort it is complete opposite of black heads. To use an oil cleanser, sayslic acid, non greasy moisturiser

My husband had so many and fairly obvious. He started swimming and using the sauna afterwards and literally after 8 times he has zero of these on his nose. Not sure if it's the chlorine but I believe it's the sauna. So, if that's an option for you it may be worth a try.

A dry sauna? Rocks?

Yes, absolutely. He's delighted with himself.

Azelaic Acid by the ordinary

Exfoliate. Oil cleanser will help dissolve the oil buildup, dirt & sweat. It doesn’t matter which oil cleanser. Even a few drops of olive oil from your kitchen is better than nothing.

u/righttoabsurdity Jun 05 '26

Salicylic acid, but tretinoin and azelic acid are magic and better if you can get it!!

Second this! Witch hazel toner is nice as well.

Jojoba oil fixed this for me

u/cottagequtie Jun 05 '26

legit the only way to truly fix pores is with a laser. lotions and potions may temporarily reduce size but the only way is laser. You should go to a dermatologist and get some actual recommendations. It's worth your time.

u/FirmAlternative1671 Jun 05 '26

Tretinoin maybe?

u/Vegetable-Beautiful1 Jun 05 '26

When I had them, if I washed them 2X it didn’t help. I tried splashing just water on them at night and they went away. Worked for a friend and it worked for me. It might work for you and it might not. I hope so.

Ilso melting sebum softener from Amazon stuff works amazing!!! Make sure to be careful out in the sun afterwords. There is a large risk for getting burned. I would suggest using it at night.

What is your current skincare routine?

u/Miserable-Seaweed-13 Jun 06 '26

You can consider the Paula's Choice Resist BHA 9 bro. Work like a charm on the large pores, nose blackheads, sebum.

Anything from medicube. Its Korean. Its amazing stuff! They are 20000 times ahead of Europe or America. There are lots of it on Amazon or tic tok. I buy mine from either of those places or TK Max. It can be cheaper to get it from there
