Every pore on my face is clogged with a hard core. i wash daily but they stay clogged is there any way to make my pores smaller and to clear them out?

See a dermatologist: From your description it seems like you are describing blackheads (comedones). Benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid washes can help this but you may need a prescription medicine. If your condition is as severe as you describe you should see a dermatologist.
