For the nose white/blackheads, I use a product from Biore (other companies make similar products). After cleaning your face, you get your nose wet and put on this strip. When it dries, you peel it and a lot of white/blackhead off. Works good and it doesn’t cause red marks or scaring. To increase the power of the strips, dab some more water on the strip after you put it on your nose. Even after you manually clean them from your nose, the strip will remove even more…
