What is the treatment of enlarged pores and blackheads?

Question

Hi doctor,

I have a full face of open enlarged pores and blackheads. I have been constantly trying everything and anything to get rid of them, from facials, mud masks, and deep cleansing pore strips to peels, and organic and chemical cleaners, but they will not go away. Is there a solution to this problem? I am only 26-years-old. I hate my complexion like this. It has only been this way for the last couple of years, and it makes me look like I am older then I am, affecting my self-esteem.

Thank you
