Greasy skin/large pores/blackheads. Can I ever make it stop?!

[NatashaRf]

Just that really please.

I'm now 35.

And STILL greasy skinned, blackheads/blocked pores on my nose and chin.

Get actual spots on my chin before my period still.

I've tried so many different skin cares.

Do I just need to accept this is my life?

If you're similar and have found a routine or products that help please advise.

Just to add I eat well generally (do find my skin is worse if I have sugar/refined carbs but that's not often) but I think I'm a greasy person - for example hair needs a wash every other day or it's gross.

I really like the inkey list. You go to their website and put in your skin concerns and it recommends cleanser, toner, serums etc. It's also not expensive, and is really well reviewed by dermatologists and skin care people on YouTube etc.

Ime an led mask with a mixture of red and blue lights, used daily, works wonders, also rotating blood cleansers like goldenseal and echinacea and cleavers. Potters herbal skin Clear tablets are also very very good.

Good luck!

I have similar skin and have found the following budget products made a big diffference.
Superdrug glycolic cleansing peel as cleanser. I use it morning and night.
Followed by Superdrug glycolic toner 5%
I then use retinol 2% in squalane from the ordinary at night and their niacimide serum in the day.
I use frezydern 50 spf in thr day as a spf but also a primer as looks great with enlarged pores.
My skin is now better in my forties then it has ever been
