PlI are help me with stubborn clogged pores!

[WonsWoo]

I am 55. I have really stubborn clogged pores (black heads) on the sides of my nose.

I don’t wear loads of makeup. I have a good daily skincare routine. (I think).

I have tried scrubs, strips, charcoal masks.

Do I need to go to a professional?!

Azelaic acid at night before moisturiser.
Retinal (not retinOL) twice a week and Azelaic acid the other 5 nights has made a huge difference to mine. I’m early 50’s.

I had a couple of facials and that worked.

Not sure what happened to the thread title!

Thanks so much. Will try the things @LivingTheDreamOneNightmareAtATime has suggested and then maybe a facial if no luck.
