Well I dont have super bad acne but enough pimples to where Im very consious about it. Ive tried everything you could name, even pro activ but none of it works for me. It will get rid of it for a little while then it will come back.
So I was wondering if anyone knew anything you can make at home like a mask, paste, routine, that will help clear it up. I need something that will actually work so please dont say 'toothpaste' or something cheesy and stupid like that.
Thanks a bunch!
Oh and I also do not want to go out and buy products, just something I can do at home or make at home.

You should try benzoyl peroxide 5%, it will help dry the epidermis of your skin.Usally you need a perscription from a dermatolist for this, but sometimes they have products with benzoyl peroxide in them too.
Also, make sure you take a shower everynight before you go to bed becuase dirt and oil build up on your face, causing black heads and white heads.
Another thing you should also try is Oil absorbing sheets, they are about 5 dollars in the brand Clean and Clear, they help remove excess oil which makes your face shiny and clogs your pores.

And if you do decide to try something else from the store, I recommend either Acne Free (sold at Walmart and $15). It is very similar to Proactiv because it has the same three steps, but you can also get the acne scar remover which really works. Another good product is Nature's cure. You can get the pills to take daily which will help a lot. And another thing you could try is called VitaClear (which are vitamins that clear up acne). I hope this helps! <3 Dana
Mix equal amounts of lemon juice and rose water, apply to face with a cotton ball, and allow to sit for 30 minutes before rinsing. 15-20 days of this application helps cure pimples and also helps to remove blemishes and scars.
Apply fresh lemon juice on the affected area overnight. Wash off with warm water next morning.
