Clogged pores/blackheads

What products will help to unclog them? They're only in my t-zone.
I've been seriously neglecting my skincare lately and am now reassessing products/routine etc.

AHA and BHA acids - so either a toner containing glycolic/salicylic or lactic acid to use every day after cleansing and before moisturising, OR a glycolic acid treatment/peel used once or twice a week e.g. Liquid Gold (great but expensive) or an at home peel e.g. Bravura (much better priced, slightly harder to get hold of).

These acids are one of the few things that will make a visible difference... Although it has to be said that up to a certain point blackheads are there to stay, and there's only so much that can be done about them... I've been using acids and have got rid of some blackheads/minimized the appearance of the existing ones, but it isn't a miracle cure.

Likewise, I have had a couple of samples of Benefit The Porefessional which I use only on my nose/t-zone and it basically just 'fills in' the pores so that they appear to have disappeared. It doesn't clog my pores or break me out so I'd recommend it or a similar silicone-based primer.

a "facial sauna" steam-mask thing.

It will also help with a chesty cough or a snotty snout.
