[quote=Anonymous]Someone mentioned these earlier: Biore brand "nose strips." They work very well if you use them right. You wet the nose (we also have to wet the strip some but don't soak it) and she'll have to practice with molding it onto her nose where she really needs it. It's also important for her to leave it on, maybe fanning her face to get the strip to dry, until the strip is [i]totally[/i] dry, to the point it's hard, or it won't work well. But do that, and these really do work. It might take a couple of uses for her really to see the blackheads disappearing, but it'll work if she's consistent.

Don't use generic or store brand nose strips -- I think some drugstore chains have their own brand now. Get the name brand. Tried the store brands and they weren't as good.

Nah, I don't sell Biore! But I used it for years and now my 14-year-old uses it at times. Even husband uses them sometimes.

I would try just using a mild, non-medicated cleanser with the strips before also adding salicylic acid products or benzoyl peroxide. Both can work but are also very drying and can be irritating. If she gets irritated skin you will not know if the cause was the strips or the medicated cleanser, so I'd start with just the strips and a non-medicated, gentle cleanser first, unless she has pimples that need medication.[/quote]
