Consider Obagi Newderm system with Tretinoin. This should take care of your problem, but before you start, see your dermatologist or plastic surgeon to make sure you are the right candidate for it.
How do I reduce large pores and prevent dark spots from acne?
I'm 26 years old and my skin started breaking out very badly when I was 23 years old. I've tried Proactiv but it did not work for me. Right now I'm using Neutrogena and its helping but I have a lot of damage from when my skin was breaking out badly.
I want to know, what should I do to clean my pores and help reduce the size of my pores and prevent dark spots that acne leaves?

Im making an appointment this week to get botox injections just below the skin for the reducing of pore sizes on my nose. I'll update you on the process. I have tried micro derms the chemical peels the lasers none of them work. Laser help for red lines and micro derms feel good and make you look good for 1-3 days so thats just too expensive to get theat every 3 days. Chemical peel did nothing I didnt see one difference maybe wasnt strong enough but Im finished with that road. New drug is botox and my fingers are crossed in hope. They say it last 3-4 month hell if it lasts 2 months ill do it 6 times a year and for the rest of my life. Even at 500 a session... But I did hear it cost between 200-500 session so good luck and find a dr. that can do this procedure otherwise get rid of the mirror and def get rid of the magnifying mirror
