Blackhead treatments?

i have blackheads on my nose and they drive me crazy!
i have never tried any kind of store-bought treatments, but im thinking about getting the biore strips...
supposedly the ultra type works better, but they're more expensive.. :P
also, it seems like st. ives apricot scrub works well for acne, but i havent read any reviews for getting rid of the blackheads..
please suggest any other good cheap blackhead treatments!

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.

how do i solve acne? (face, back, chest,legs)?

i have had acne since about the start of 6th grade. the reason for it is that i had THICK bangs, and so my face was covered in acne. also, i have it on my back and chest. i have used MANY products, like benzoyl peroxide twice a day, salliyic(spelling?) acid, and Apricot Scrub from St. Ives. those are a few of the products i have used~ i have probably bought over 30 products! the cost is overwhelming.
