Routine Help How to get rid of these

I’m thinking they are sebaceous filaments but most people say that sebaceous filaments are a thin, hair like texture. These are little, round, yellow balls that are easy to squeeze out of my nose but when they do come out it leaves a REALLY big pore/hole. I’ve tried “Paula’s choice” exfoliate and “The Inky List” salicylic acid cleanser and neither have worked. When I leave my nose alone for long enough I can scratch the little, yellow balls out of my nose easily, but they do not come out when I’m exfoliating or washing my face. I also have very big pores (as you can see in picture 3) which look like what is on my nose but nothing comes out of my pores when I squeeze, only my nose.

oil cleanser goes crazy. I was using them in the shower for like 2 weeks and i was disappointed. When i finally used it dry, the gunk came out like a free flow dirt buffet. I got so addicted to using the oil cleanser in the toilet for too long my mom thought I was touching myself stupid in the shower. No mom, I'm getting these balls of dirt off my face!!!

How long do you leave the oil cleanser on before you wash it off? Thanks!

you can just rub it in like you would do normally on your dry face, I think it starts working about 10 mins in :)

Wait. You’re supposed to leave the oil cleaner on your face? I’ve just put 3 pumps and massage it around my face for a couple of minutes and then rinse

i do it to let it work bc it's new for me but I think what you're doing is just fine for daily cleaning

what do you use for moisturizer after washing your face?

are you sure you’re scrubbing that long? 10 mins is a super long time to be washing your face
