I figured I'd tap the IMWAN reservoir of old wives tales and old time cures, etc.
I still get blackheads on my nose. Not in large numbers, but enough to be annoying. Nothing seems to completely eliminate them. Best thing I have is concealer
Any good home remedies or other methods that work?

St. Ive's brand Green Tea Exfoliating Cleanser is good. And Biore brand pore strips, like once or twice a week at most. They work great but will really dry out your skin.
Basically, make sure you exfoliate your face pretty good a couple times a week. Hold your face over really hot water, and the steam will open your pores. Then use one of those pore strips...it'll pull all the ickies out, and your skin will look much more clear.

That's got to work better than the O.J.'s Beauty Lotion I used for pimples when I was a teenager.

Already do all that, with those products.
Always flush my skin each shower too.
I seriously have more facial products than any girl I've dated who wasn't into modelling.

I'm about to subject myself to massive ball-busting but I've found that this stuff just pulls the blackheads from my pores...

maybe see a dermatologist? if you can afford that sort of thing, that is. I know I can't. my skin is pretty janky, too, so I know your pain. using those products does help, but only when I use them regularly. There is something called a Wave that actually works pretty well, too. It's a little expensive, but I thought it was worth it. If I remembered to use this thing everyday my skin would probably look a lot nicer.

Neither.
You put the masque on, it hardens and seems to sink into your pores and "grab" the blackheads, then when you wash the masque away, the blackheads go along with it.
