Clogged enlarged pores on forehead-any tips?

Skin Concern

Hi all! 31/f. For years now I have struggled with what I think are clogged enlarged pores on my forehead. I’ve been to numerous dermatologists, facialists, etc and feel like I’ve tried every skin cream under the sun. From differin, retinols of all different strengths, and the very strong Tazorac. Some of the retinols would make me peel and these skin colored raised bumps still remain. No improvement. Dermatologists and estheticians have tried extracting them to no avail, at the most sometimes just a clear liquid (oil?) comes out. I’ve also tried mild peels at the spa, mostly from the brand Lira Clinical and I usually just lightly peel around my nose and mouth. I’ve not tried the really intense peels yet that really shed the skin. Has anyone else dealt with this? Any tips on how to clear it? I feel like I take such great care of my skin and the rest of my skin shows for it, but my forehead is just persistently clogged. I get monthly facials. If anyone has struggled with this and has received a treatment or product that worked for them please let me know!
