Without going to professional. Been there a couple of times and its too expensive. Anyways....my I squeeze the pores on my cheeks I can see small string of grease coming out. The pores are pretty big and I can see that there is crap inside them. I cannot squeeze every single pore. Besides my face gets a big swollen after I do it. What can I do to eventually have clear skin? I usually use proactiv as my cleanser.

I can squeeze out those long strings of pus too, but only on my nose.

They look really cool. :D

Acetone won't only take out the pores, but might also take out the outer layer of your skin ;)
Honestly, just go to a spa or something. If those strips don't work for you, go get a facial and have them use one of those vacuums.

If that don't work, it's probably not a black head.

before applying wash, just kind of gently rub your face under running very warm water for a minute or two. The water helps melt the sebum, and relaxes the skin. The rubbing helps draw the built-up oils out. Do not directly rub any inflamed areas! Apply wash. Use oxidizing agents during the day such as Benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid. These agents solidify the built-up oil and dry/stretch the skin so that the solids are pushed out. Tretinoin (Retin-A) is a great product typically used at night that helps draw the solids to the surface of the skin as well. It is free too through your doctor/insurance.
Your pores will never be totally clear. They are always producing oil. You just have to help them out a bit by drawing as much of the old oil out.
