lactic acid for sebaceous filaments?

Hello Everyone! I’m quite new to the whole exfoliation topic. At first I was thinking about Salicylic acids but all of the products of brands I trust are either too expensive or sold out. So I found Lactic acid recently: an acid that helps remove dead skin cells. Im struggling with sebaceous filaments on my nose and I was wondering if that would help?

I had an experience with obvious sebaceous filaments too but I used an oil cleansing to double cleanse my skin especially around my nose area. And the result is phenomenal for me. You might want to give it a shot :)

BHA works better at decongestion, AHA is more refining surface texture and brightening. I love the TO Salicylic Acid but it’s out of stock everywhere so here are some alternatives

Maybe u better try BHA since it works deeper into your skin while lactic acid is only works on the surface
