Is there any effective way to get rid of blackheads?

These days, I'm always startled when I look in the mirror under the vanity light every morning. Before, my skin seemed smooth even with a quick wash and basic foundation, but as time goes by, I find myself looking even more closely at my pores. Especially, the dark bumps around my nose make me sigh. I know I shouldn't squeeze them, but I keep wanting to, so I hold back. I've tried various products to effectively remove blackheads, but I'm worried because they only make my skin more irritated. Maybe it's because my skin isn't as resilient as it used to be, but even the slightest strong mask makes my skin red. So, I've tried oils and even water-based formulas to try to be as gentle as possible on my blackheads. But I'm still frustrated because my skin hasn't cleared up as much as I hoped. Looking in the mirror after washing my face and dreaming of a smooth nose has become a small daily wish. People around me say consistent care is the key, but I can't seem to find the secret to blackhead removal that works for me. Is there a routine that effectively removes impurities without over-irritating my skin? I'm curious to hear from anyone who has successfully managed pores while soothing sensitive skin like mine. How do you normally manage your skin?
