I have big pores and blackheads help?

I have quite big pores, what can i do to make them a lot smaller than they are right now? I cleanse twice a day and i use this lotion that has salicylic acid in it to dissolve dirt and oil and blackheads and just moisturise in the morning for soft radiant skin through out the day, i have noticed a change in my skin since i have been doing this routine but i also have blackheads on my cheeks if i use the face biore pore strips do you think they will pull out? And again,also because i have big pores and i use these biore pore nose and face strips and if they pull the blackheads out, will the pores be even bigger? i dont like to use toner because my skin isn't that oily and it irritates my skin and gives me dry skin so i splash very cold water on my face morning and night to close pores. please answer this long question, haha! i would love to know, thanks :)
