4. If I might suggest

Two things I've found that work really well on clogged pores are salicylic acid and, ironically, oil cleansing. Cleaning your skin with oil (and taking quite a while to do it) eases out many of the clogs in the pores. I've used the Dermalogica pre-cleanse, but there are many other brands. Some people make their own oil cleansing blend. The chief difference between the store bought and home made varieties is that store brands (at least the one I've tried) have something in them that enables the oil to dissolve with water. Some people have had problems with oil cleansing when they haven't removed all the oil. I always follow with another cleanser, but not everyone does.

You apply salicylic acid on your face after cleansing. It comes in various forms, from a liquid to a serum type texture. It should be without alcohol and have the right Ph. balance. You can Google it or go to the Cosmetics Cop site to learn more.

Sorry if you weren't interested in this. Perhaps someone will be.
