How can I get rid of my blackheads?

Ok so I have lots of blackheads on my nose and they are really gross. I have about less than half the amount that I used to have because I have been using Biore Skin Toner and Biore Heated Blackhead Cleanser and also Clearasil Ultra Acne Treatment Cream and I know I don't have acne or anything, but I have found that it works on blackheads as well as pimples. I just rub it into my nose as well as my pimples, but I still don't know how to get rid of all my blackheads. I know it is possible; I have seen so many people with no makeup and they still have flawless skin (at least with blackheads) and I really don't want to pay for products, so are there any home-made things I can use??
My daily routine:
When I wake up I wash my face and put on the Biore Skin Toner.
At about lunch time at home, I put on more of the Biore Skin Toner.
At about 6 O'clock I put more of the Biore Skin Toner.
After tea (Dinner) I wash my face and apply the Clearasil Ultra Acne Treatment Cream.
I sleep with that on and in the morning I reapeat. Is that goodfor keeping my face clean do you think?? Thanks

i'm 22 years old and still have acne all over my face. they are not big gross nasty ones but those little annoying ones under the skin. i have combination skin where its oily on my forehead, t zone and chin then dry on my cheeks. occasionally i get a big painful pimple along my hairline or on my chin. i have blackheads on my nose and i wash my face daily...i wear makeup. i have used stride x, clearasil, clean and clear, biore, olay, noxema, nutragena (which gave me a serious bacterial infection), products from avon, and st. ives...different times over the past 6 years. i dont have a ton of money for like proactive or differen and like i said they are not huge pimples where i would need that stuff. any suggestions or even simple at home treatments? ive tried toothpaste and that does NOTHING! please help and no lame answers PLEASE!

will doctor give me accutane on my first visit?

I have never been to a dermatologist before and tomorrow will be my first time going to one. I have been dealing with on and off again acne since I was 14. I have had every kind of pimple in the book, cystic, white heads, black heads, nodules, you name it, Ive had it. It wasn't until recently and i would say about two months ago that I started breaking out worse than I ever have in my life.
I am now 18 and have acne like a 13 year old going through puberty.
I'm so sick of dealing with this problem and I just dont want to have to deal with it while going into adulthood where I would like to go to school, and start a career and live my life. Lately, I have been getting severe acne and just one after another, after another. Mostly every part of my face right now is covered in either a scab/scar from a pimple or just a plain pimple. I feel like every morning I wake up, there is a new pimple on my face. I am hoping that tomorrow my doctor will see my skin and the massive amounts of marks and pimples that my face has and will instead of prescribing some worthless cream, will prescribe me accutane so that I cant fight this and rid it for good.
I've tried practically every type of product on my face, ProActiv, Acne Free, Neutrogena, Clean & Clear, Philosophy, Biore and I am currently using St. Ive's, which I found worked for me tremendously before my breakout and has now suddenly not worked for me like it use to.
I know a friend of mine who is on doxycycline and her results looks great, although her acne wasnt as bad as mine is now. I considered that and thought it would be a good idea but after watching all these videos on youtube of people filming their accutane diaries and noticing how their skin isnt even remotely as bad as mine is to begin with and then seeing their results and how they praise the stuff up and down. It's only made me crave it even more..
so my question is, after all this ranting, is do you think the doctor would prescribe me accutane even though this is my first visit to him?
I'm so frustrated cause I had gone and he prescribed me minocycline and it isnt working at all and ive been taking it for three days and am religously using the damn duac and retin a. NO RESULTS. it just makes my pimples less red but i dont want pimples AT ALL.
also, it's doing absolutely nothing for my scars and dark spots from previous pimples.

how to get rid of acne in a week???? Please!!!!?

Okay so im all set for school but i have 1 problem-some pretty bad acne!!! i don't have a ton of those big zits but a lot of little to medium ones all over my chin, nose, and forehead. They are very noticeable!! This is my daily skin care routine

Morning:
1. Loreal 360 exfoliating scrub (the orange one, with the scrub-let)
2. Biore triple action astringent
3. Clean and Clear acne advantage spot treatment

Night:
1. Biore daily recharge foaming cleanser
2. Biore triple action astringent
3. Clean and clear acne advantage spot treatment

Weekly:
1. Biore Weekly pore strips (nose)
2. Some type of face mask.

So i can't buy proactive or any of that stuff or really any storebought products, so i need home remedys. DO NOT SAY TOOTHPASTE!!! I tried that and it burned my face!! so i need some help big time. This is really starting to bother me because i swear i can't name even 1 of my friends who has more that a little blackhead. I really really need some help!!! I use concealer but i always sweat it off. I just really want some clear skin.. PLEASE!!
ok i ment like 1 or 2 storebought products i just cant order the proactive, skin id, maxclarity ect ect. i cant do the asprin thing cause 1. we dont have asprin and 2. my mom thinks its rediculus...anyway what loreal 360 works the best???
okay for the asprin thing would motrin/iveprofen work as a substetute?
