I have blackheads on the sides of my nose and on my chin, what product do you recommend?

My pores look large and have a dark center, is this a blackhead?
It certainly sounds like it. Plugs within the pores composed of sebum, cellular debris and bacteria congest the gland and expand the pore. Contact with air allows oxygenation to take place, turning the plugs black, further heightening visibility.

What causes blackheads to form?
Events which lead to the formation of the blackheads include the build-up of dead skin cells, oil and bacteria due to an acne-forming disorder of keratinization, hormonal influences and poor exfoliation.
