How Can I Get Rid of Clogged Pores and Blackheads Completely?

I am 18 and I've been suffering from clogged pores on my nose, around my nose, my forehead and my chin. I use oil free, non comedogenic products and do basic skin care routine- cleanse, tone moisturise(and sometimes add a pore refining serum). I still get lots of clogged pores. I am sick and tired of these annoying bumps and blackheads on my face. How do I get rid of them completely, if not reduce it?
