      @@aestheticslifeandstyle190 I had to look this up a while back, because I noticed most of the skin care UA-cam videos I watch don’t really explain the difference. Black heads are when the stuff in the pore turns black and are gross and need to be removed. Sebaceous filaments are an accumulation of oils that sit on the skin. And the word filament refers to the tiny hairs (vellous hairs)that normally also are growing out of the pore. Both are actually very normal to have, but when it starts to build up a little on places like the nose it starts to become a more obvious when looked at up close in the mirror. Also it can stretch out the pore a little. Mostly you want to maintain them so they don’t turn into a blackhead, but they don’t /need/ to be removed entirely. I hope this makes sense :D

      Most Doctors are treating symptoms instead of looking for root causes. Poor kids, scrubbing their faces after every class with harsh detergents and anti bacterial stuff, applying these garbage chemicals that strip and irritate, then people say things like, " Eew, gross, go wash your face." My skin got way better when I started using actual soap. You've discovered over active oil production comes from dry skin. Water consumption rate is a big factor to all cellular hydration. Half Gallon, minimum, daily, on top of any other liquid you chose to drink. Diet plays a factor as well. Your skin can help the body purge troublesome toxins that are either what you put in or on your body. Most of those lotions are garbage, with alcohols that dry and crap that clogs. Exercise helps too; the sweat flushes out the pores. My skin, and the rest of me, feel the best when I am actually doing all three of those things at the same time. Diet, water, and some exercise would solve several hundred, "ailments," but that wouldn't make any money for Pharma.

    I've never had huge skin problems so I never dove deep into skincare, but after giving birth and turning 40 I noticed many more sebacious filaments especially on my chin and I HATE them, I kept using strips and peeling masks and washing and scrubing but nothing worked until I saw this video, the SA wash and retinol serum leave my skin so soft it feels like baby skin and filaments disappeared OVERNIGHT. THANK YOU 🙏

    I reduced mine a lot by using an oil-based self-emulsifying cleansing balm. It dissolves dirt and oil sooo well! I'm not especially acne-prone, but I'm starting BHAs to see if I can reduce them further. Unfortunately the pore strips never worked for me - they just didn't grab onto anything. I know they're not ideal but it would've been nice to get a clean start once a month or something.

That reminds me I should do one oil session today :)

I was looking like a bag of arse until one of your videos popped up. Retinoids changed everything. My masking is gone, my freckles are gone, my nose filaments are gone, the wrinkles are much reduced, I don't have any blackheads, and I actually have real color in my face! One of you suggested Differin gel and WOW! I keep things simple: Palmers Cocoa Butter soap, Differin, and Ponds Rejuveness. Don't cringe, I'm a cheapskate and it works. It takes time, but I keep at it and the results are really obvious.

    I used to use those pore strips back in school when I was young 20s. They wrecked my skin. Caused blood vessels on side of nose to pop and look horrible. No amount of lasers have helped those broken vessels. But they also then resulted in even worse blockage in those pores. It was like they created more space for gross stuff to go. I then had to steam my nose all the time to get that out. It was a nasty cycle. So glad I got away from them. I now use high quality honey on my face now and it really helps.

    The way these two speak about “sebaceous filaments” is typical to someone who hasn’t actually had to deal with large pores and compensatory oil build up. I’ve used salicylic acid, peeling, no moisturizer, added moisturizer, Retinoids, etc. Dealing with blackheads isn’t as simple as they make it out to be. AND the patient in the first clip with the pore strip, I don’t believe that’s to treat “extensive” sebum, for people suffering with this problem we face this amount, like I said, or a very regular basis.

      So true. Blackheads are the hardest thing to get rid of in my experience. I use/have used everything recommended and it doesn't help. My whole skincare routine is great and i hardly get pimples, but blackheads love me on my cheeks lol.The only thing i've used that helps is the La Roche posay Duo effaclair BHA treatment- it's gold but with a caveat . But, the problem is it dries out the area you apply it and then it turns the blackhead hard- and then i have to resist the urge to pop it out. Then, when i do i apply Vaseline right away and hopes the pore goes back to it's correct size. I have only one pore that became a little enlarged from an old blackhead. I think that Paul's Choice's BHA is overhyped from my experienced. Used a whole bottle and it didn't prevent me from getting blackheads for sure! But, I'm always on the hunt for a great BHA. there is a face wash i heard that is popular called Panoxyl Acne Foaming Wash Benzoyl Peroxide 10% i plan to try next and use it the nights i don't use my retinal.

    After years of over cleansing my skin, which caused breakouts, I found that just rinsing with water and patting dry was all I needed. One cleansing a week removes any buildup. Salicylic acid products give me sore patches and breakouts.

    Thank you so much for guidance, I tried Paula's choise BHA exfoliant and niacinamide, and after few months my skin was on another level, now I'm just fan of both ingredients ❤

    I grew up having very little acne, so using a pore strip every couple months is super fun and interesting.

    I do all of these things plus an oil cleanser before my regular cleanser. It’s surprising how well the oil cleanser penetrates into those areas. I can physically feel particles being cleansed off my nose.

    I had a problem with blackheads on my nose well into my 20s and early 30s. No amount of scrubbing, squeezing, or cleansers worked. Then I tried the pore strips and the problem disappeared - just like that. After the first two or three uses, I only needed them very sporadically - may once every other month or so.

    I don't have my oily skin;however, I greatly appreciate it because it helps not having wrinkles at 54. While I try to maintain the noise area with minimum oil build up, I make sure not to eliminate completely oil production.

    My skin routine probably isn't the best but I've discovered that my skin is just super sensitive and found products that work for me while also not irritating my skin.
    So, I use the clean and clear lemon scrub once or twice a week depending on my skins build up and moisture levels. And I use this one either in the morning or night time.
    I also use the clean and clear morning one (the orange one) for everyday maintenance and I alternate it between morning and night. So I if I use the lemon scrub in the morning then I use the orange one at night if it's the day of the week I use my face scrub.
    I use the purple elf moisturizer for my skin after I use the scrub and sometimes when I do the everyday cleanser (just depends if my skin looks super dry or not)
    And sometimes my skin just needs a break so I cleanse my face with a plain old dove bar soap (the one I'm using now is the stress relief one)
    Most of my daily maintenance days are the orange clean and clear in the morning and dove bar at night, but I occasionally use the night clean and clear one (the blue one) for days when I just need a little more.
    I mainly use the dove bar soap at night because my skin just needs a breather before I go to bed.
    Honestly, probably not the best routine but I've tried so many brands and just found what works for my skins build up control, and I went through some bad phases in highschool when experimenting because the products broke me out or just weren't working for my skin control and my pores looked so bad 😔. But since I started using the routine I have had for a while (about a year) now and sticking to the products I know work for my skin, my pores and build up are 100 times better then I've ever seen them.
