I can understand your feeling. I have mine on my cheeks and nose. I been to salon once. The lady did a very good job in clearing the clogged pores but not the facial peels she used .I got tiny rashes appearing on my face the next day.Probably because of my sensitive skin ,it sure got me really worried then. Anyway, my darling glfriend suggested I should try using Naturalis pore reducer treatment cream ,she find it effective for her. I've Been applying the cream for close to 3 weeks now,really glad to noticed my facial pores is visibly reduced, skin looked so much better .BTW ...Stay clear of toners with alcohol, it do your skin more harm especially oily skin Types.
