A member asked:
My nose is oily and has clogged pores. what drugstore cleanser will properly clean without drying out other parts of my face?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Soap and water: Try gentle soap and water followed by biore strips. Over time, they will unclog the pores. Lower concentrations of benzoyl peroxide usually won't dry out the other parts of your face. There are many other options as well. You will have to try them and see. If they don't work, please see a dermatologist for best individualized advice.
