I used retin a/Tazorac on nose/cheeks for 6 years. I've always had bad blackheads. Orange peel texture appeared 1 year ago. Also had blackheads literally on every pore on body. Took accutane which eliminated all blackheads, but after 2 months I noticed large pores all over face (not just areas with blackheads) so I stopped. Now I am extremely depressed.
