What skin cleansers and exfoliators work?

[elxbp]

Finally gotten rid of my acne, and now I'm looking into more specific issues with my skin:
1) Clogged pores (blackheads primarily on my nose)
2) Occasional dry/flaky skin due to tret 0.025% (my mom took me to a derma that hands tret out like Halloween candy)

What products have worked for you, and what would you advise? I'm considering getting the CeraVe SA 0.5% cleanser, the CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser (for daily skin care), and something that helps exfoliate my skin (idk what to get). Any help would be really appreciated and marked as a solution.

Does glycolic salcidic cause more irritation/sensitivity for you?

 

[liolgaser]

both those acids cause more irritation. and not neede in my case.
i got very oily and opened pores skin
i use
cerave foaming cleanser, niacinamide 10% zinc 1%, adapalene, vichy 89 moisturizer and spf 50 sunscreen.
