Firstly are they blackheads or sebaceous filaments ?? Google the difference, as they need different treatment.
generally, salyclic acid helps.

Clay face washes are the only ones that work for me.

Medicube pore pads or Paula’s Choice toner.

I wouldn’t use the nose strips, they’re really not very effective. You need to use a combination of salycilic acid, glycolic acid and possibly nianicimide; these will have a longer lasting affect on blackheads and open/large pores. What do you use currently?

Counter intuitively, and if they are sebaceous filaments, rosehip oil.

A kaolin clay mask is nice as well without drying out the skin. I can't do acids, my skin generally is too dry.
