What's a better way to manage blackheads than using irritating methods?

Lately, I've been getting a lot of blackheads around my nose and chin, and I'm really worried. I've been looking online and see various methods like pore packs, peels, aqua peels, and laser treatments, but I'm not sure how they all work. Using nose packs or scrubs at home might seem to clear things up temporarily, but I've also heard that they can actually cause redness and irritation, and even cause broken blood vessels, which can be detrimental. So, I'm wondering if home care is right for me in the long run, or if a dermatologist's procedure would be more effective. I'm curious about which method you found most satisfying to manage and prevent recurrence, and what lifestyle habits and skincare routines you recommend to prevent recurrence. I'm still unsure which method to choose, so I'd like to hear various experiences and opinions.
