Open Pores
I have open pores on my nose and some acne. I am using a face wash with 2% salicylic acid and 2% nicinamide twice daily from last 1 month but open pores are still visible, what to do? I have extremely oily face, every 2 hours face gets oily more on nose area and forehead.
Also what is correct way to use this sliycinamide face wash to get maximum effect, earlier I used to apply it on wet face but then I read online that apply on dry face and wait 1-2 min and then rinse it to increase effect of active ingredients in face wash.

2% niacinamide is mild. You can switch to 5% strength for better results.
Use the niacinamide face wash twice daily, massage gently for 30sec on damp face, but facewash alone doesn’t give any results,they are for cleansing not as a treatment modality. For persistent open pores, adding a retinoid at night may help.
Next Steps
Consult online if the issue persists despite using multiple products.

Everything on social media is just a marketing, don't apply it practically in your life without expert opinion. And no face wash can decrease open porea... 😂
