Dry skin & clogged pores

Definitely go with BHA! BHA can penetrate deeper into the pores and clean them! But here what I always do when I really want to get rid of those black dots on my nose. 1. Use BHA and let it sit for 20 mins+ 2. Without rinsing the BHA, apply clay mask and let it dry for 5+mins 3. Wash the clay mask off and cleanse the area with oil-based cleanser. Massage the area with oil cleanser for 15 mins. You'll see there's a lot of your blackheads coming off! Done!

Well for removing clogged pores exfoliation is the best. And from what i know people usually recommend lactic acid for dry skin (it tends to come in a formulation with hyualronic acid so it may be a plus)

Exfoliating is usually the best for clogged pores and since your skin is dry you only need the exfoliator that works better for you wich is Lactic Acid since it's gentle and helps to draw water and stimulate ceramide production so it's best for your dry skin, start with twice a week.

I would recommend you to use AHA like lactic acid, BHA- salicylicacid and azelaic acid! Remember not to overexfoliate your skin, max 3/4 times a week, but azelaic acid acid can be used everyday

Try this one. I have been using this for years and it made my skin smooth and free from closed comedones, whiteheads and even blackheads. It has a chemical exfoliant (BHA) which is good for targeting your skin concern and it is gentle for everyday use. After this toner, make sure to apply moisturizer and sunscreen so that there will no further damage on the skin.
