blackheads gone but left with open pores ??

unfortunatly open pores are extremely hard to get rid of , it svery frustrating when you remove unsightly blackheads but are then left with a gaping hole .
this can be almost as difficult to treat as acne .
after a little research it seems Azelaic Acid is the best treatment for tis , i have found a pharmaceautical name for this "SKINOREN" this is a gel for the skin used on rosacea and acne , this product is presribed by a doctor so visit your gp for prescription .
homemade toner for oily skin
Alcohol and alum toner .mix one table spoon of alcohol (buy from your chemist say it is for your skin)+100 gms of distilled water and a tablespoon of lemon juice , mix together and leave in an air tight bottle in the fridge ,use this every morning after you wash your face using a damp cotton pad . apply mattifying moisturiser , oily skin people should not use oil based creams , try gel cleasers for cleaning the face and if you dont want to mkae your own toner buy alcohol based ones with no oil. and mattifying moisturisers .

doing these steps every morning and evening will prevent the pores from getting blocked up again , if the azelaic acid does not close the pores consult a dermatologist for treatment .
