Trust + time weighted: +91%
AI summary — not a quote
BHA exfoliants are highly recommended for their ability to clear inside the pores and manage sebaceous filaments. Users emphasize that while the product is effective for resurfacing, consistency is more important than frequency, with most suggesting a limited application of one to three times per week.
Pros
- Effectively clears inside the pores
- Helps reduce the appearance of sebaceous filaments
- Acts as an effective chemical resurfacing agent
- Works well as a supplemental treatment in routines containing niacinamide or oil cleansers
Cons
- Potential for irritation if used daily or too frequently

Once a week, use BHA exfoliant with clean cotton pads.
Regardless of that I would get started on a good skin routine of cleanser/BHA exfoliant/Vitamin C serum/moisture/sunscreen and peptides/retinol/moisture at nights.
✅ BHA exfoliant 2-3x per week
✅ BHA exfoliant — Clears inside the pores
niacinamide, salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide (face wash, not just on pimples), bha exfoliant (weekly), and oil cleansers help a lot.

i’ve also been using Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant for over 20 years.
I would tweeze them out or gentle exfoliate with Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant (someone mentioned above)
I recommended the microfoliant because it's super gentle but very effective,no heavy scent, free of the common irritants and you're able to use it daily which is great if you're noticing texture/flakiness.
Actives/Exfoliants: The Ordinary’s glycolic acid about 2x a week, Dermalogica daily microfoliant as needed (couple times a week)
Great for exfoliating away the flakiness from dry skin, decent at pore cleansing, will sometimes use instead of the Medicube pads in the shower.
