Regime/products for blackhead prone skin?



So my current regiment is clinque's 3 step program. I use this morning and night. If I get a pimple, which is every once in a while, I use this acne spot treatment thing from Clean and Clear, and that's it. I never put on make-up, and my skin is combination, with a very oily t-zone.

However, I constantly get blackheads on my nose. I use boire's pore strips about once a week, and they are constantly ripping out huge blackheads, it is disgusting.

Can anyone recommend some good skin cleansing products for my skin? Brand? Types of products? I've heard about cleansing milks, any good?


Thanks
[indrawn]: I've used st. ives apricot cleanser before. It is very abrasive and feels like it is doing more harm than good. Even after using it my skin still has the same amount of blackheads.
And also you aren't supposed to use those removers... almost all the articles I've read from reputable sources tell you not to use those. It causes irreversible damage.

SaraMD: I'm looking for blackhead solutions not acne.

I want some product recommendations, not links to websites unless they have them on it... Most articles mainly list what ingredients should be in the products, when I want to know the products themselves.

  1. Use a blemish control cleanser (I have St Ives Apricot Cleanser) every day, and an exfoliator 3 times a week. St Ives Apricot Scrub is the best I’ve tried, the micro beads are more abrasive and remove dirt more effectively.

    You have to apply toner (I have Biore Triple Action Toner) or a mask to close your pores after a shower and after using the pore strips.

    I’ve tried the pore strips but I’ve found a blackhead removal stick to be more effective, it actually gets the WHOLE blackhead out if you do the technique right, whereas pore strips only remove the surface of it. http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/3660/blackheadremoverstick.jpg – looks like this, not quite sure where to buy them but I’ve seen one in The Body Shop. It does leave your nose a little red and bruised if you do it too hard though – it’s not for everyone.

  2. I have found some good tips in following link, It may be good for you too
