Reducing the appearance of sebaceous filaments

I have combination skin, but despite my oily T-zone, my skin's never been acne-prone, but my nose is covered with sebaceous filaments. Tbh they're not visible at talking distance, but still, I'd like to find a way to get rid of them. Any help would be vvv much appreciated.

You can reduce the amount of them by using a salicylic acid product and niacinamide. I recommend using salicylic acid 2-3 times a week and I suggest introducing it slowly to your skin. You can use niacinamide maybe every other day or however you like as long as you don't experience any burning or stinging sensation since this is usually a sign of irritation. ❤️

sabeceous filaments are natural structures of the skin, you cant get rid of them but you can reduce the amount so to speak by a nice BHA exfoliation in either a clay mask, bha toners to clean out your pores.

If you want to reduce their appearance, niacinamide or salicylic acid can be very helpful. Using niacinamide a few times a week or salicylic acid product 1-2x a week on your t zone would help with cleaning them out and making them look smaller 🥰

Sebaceous filaments are very annoying and persistent. Many people use salicylic acid, niacinamide, clay and charcoal mask and still don't see an improvement. These are anyways, the three active sthat can help you. Be consistent and persistent and you might see an improvement
