Blackheads and whiteheads
I'm 21 years old, female with oily skin. I was facing issue of hormonal acne, blackheads and whiteheads. My skin is acne free now but blackheads and whiteheads are not going away. I'm using L'Oréal pairs salicylic acid face wash and Minimalist Salicylic Serum, but there's no change in my blackheads and whiteheads. I don't dry my face with towel, I let it air dry. Please suggest something to get rid of these stubborn blackheads and whiteheads.

Blackhead and Whitehead are due to oil and dust collection in open pore. You can pat dry your face with napkin. You can visit the clinic for a detailed skin analysis. So we can suggest treatments or tropical application according to your skin type.
