There is so many treatments. Ive heard a lot of success in 'proactive' treatment. You can also go to your phycisian and he/she can prescribe you with retin-a cream or something. Also i saw this new device which actually zaps the pimple with a little bit of heat which opens up the pore so the pimple will be gone the next day

Nicely said helpmeplease. Benzoyle peroxide is the main component of numerous acne treatments. I would prefer what they said or putting a dab of toothpaste on your pimple before going to bed. Hope I helped.

To combat acne and pimples you need to make sure that you cleanse your face on a daily basis to remove oils, dirt and bacteria. Cleanse your face with phisoderm and warm water. Do not use hot water as this is very damaging to the pores and can actually increase oil production, thus exacerbating the problem. Then you can use a gentle astringent such as Sea Breeze (not witch hazel or rubbing alcohol) to remove traces of dirt and help close the pores back up to keep dirt out. Do this before going to bed and when you wake up, as your pores open at night while you sleep. Also, make sure your pillowcase is cleaned often, dirt and dead skin cells are left on it nightly. Then to spot treat any pimples you have you can use benzoyl peroxide, but just like with Retinol you must be careful whe exposed to UV rays as you increase your risk of sunburns or skin irritation. You should try the cleasing technique for a few weeks before adding in the benzoyl peroxide because you will be reducing the bacteria by proper cleansing and may not even need to spot treat. All proactive is, is a cleansing method, that incorporates the same principles listed here. Also, DO NOT pop your pimples as not only can it cause scarring, but will actually spread the bacteria. Phisoderm is usually found in the same area as the astringents and other acne treatments. If you have large pores find a good mud mask made from English clay, it works wonders on firming skin and reducing pores. Good luck. Susu

What I alway uses is something called Retna A, what it does is it dryes the pimple out, and when it does that, the pimple begins to disappear, trust me it really works!

See your dermatologist Differens cream really works well. you will have to use a sunscreen with it though because you may get sun damage if you don't.

Hi,
the truth is that there is no clear cut solution to this problem as the cause for the breakout is key to understanding the treatment. My advice is though that you get a check up with the doctor and ask for a stool test at a lab just to find out if it is being caused by something you may be eating that is contributing to or aggravating the skin breakouts. I suffered from this problem for some time and these are two products I must say truly helped:
1. Proactiv Solution (you can google this and find out the best online outlet for you to order your products
2. Tend Skin (R) - this is made in the USA and is mainly meant for razor burns and ingrown hairs. But I can swear by its effectiveness in zapping a spot. Make sure you clean the area around the spot, dab some of the solution onto a small ball of cotton and apply immediately on the spot. Do this 2-3 times during the day. 90% of the time, the zit will disappear.
3. Drink plenty of fresh water 2 litres a day or more. Change your diet to eating more greens and also a glass of milk (skimmed is better). Try and avoid oily and fatty foods. It is a myth that chocolate causes zits... it does not so enjoy that in moderate amounts.
4. Always, always wash your face when you come back indoors. Use a gentle facewash with anti-bacterial properties... Clearasil is not bad for this and made for different skin types.

Good luck.
