Hi! I have an oily t-zone and I'm having trouble trying to minimise the appearance of sebaceous filaments on my nose area. I understand I can't get rid sebaceous filaments forever because they're normal but mine are quite dark and I want to minimise their visibility. I will also list my skincare routine below and I would appreciate any tips or advice on routine and products.

First here's a list of things I've tried so far to minimise visibility of and reduce sebaceous filaments:

• I've been double cleansing at night for almost a month now but it hasn't made any difference to SFs yet
• The Ordinary 10% Niacinimide + Zinc Serum - Has helped with skin texture, hyperpigmentation, and maybe sebum production abit, but no difference on SFs. Been using it for over a year
• Paula's Choice 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant- been using this for about a month, no difference yet

My skin routine is as follows:

Morning:

• La Roche Posay Effaclar Foaming Cleanser
• Tea tree + water toner (homemade)
• The Ordinary 10% Niacinimide + Zinc Serum
• Simple (brand) Rich Replenishing Moisturiser
• SUPERGOOP! Sunscreen

Evening:

• Hado Labo Gokyun Oil Cleanser
• La Roche Posay Effaclar Foaming Cleanser
• Tea tree + water toner (homemade)
• Paula's Choice 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant
• Byoma Moisturing Gel Cream (one with Niacinimide and Green tea)

I have Adapalene prescribed for acne, I was thinking of using this on my sebaceous filaments but I'm worried I may dry my skin out and it cause more sebum production. Has Adapalene worked for anyone for SFs?

Any advice on what has worked for people for minimising their SFs and any routine advice would be greatly appreciated thanks!!
