Dear Dr.
I have large pores on my nose and my skin gets oily. I use Neutrogena pore refining mattifier to help decrease oil and appearance or pores. When I wash my face at night, I see that my pores on my nose are clogged and some of it feels hard, so I tend to gently squeeze white things out of them, some are hard and some are soft. I am guessing that these are the result of oil and dead skin buildup, but I am not sure? They are possibly blacheads, but they are white. I really
really need your help because my pores on my nose seem to be getting larger as time goes by? Is there anything I can do to get rid of things appearing in my pores and decrease the pore size, is the mattifier adding to the problem? -- I am really embarassed about this problem. Please help. I dont know what to do. PS by the way, does Xathan gum which is used by most skin products, high in wax, which cause clogged pores? Please, please help, I'm very depressed about this problem.
Thanks so much.
