Michele answered Saturday June 9 2007, 8:48 am: Yes, I can suggest something that definitly works, but most kids don't like it. It is Tea Tree Oil. It has a VERY strong oder. kind of like turpentine. But if you use it at night, only you will smell it. Tea Tree Oil gets absored into the skin, and it kills the bacteria in the pimple. And sooner that normal, the pimple goes away.
Origins, a skin care company, uses Tea Trea Oil in a product they make I think it is called Emergency Spot, or something like that. It has tea tree oil in it, and they have managed to maske the smell pretty good. It comes with cotton wand, and you dab it on pimples, new ones, old ones, etc. But plain old Tea Tree Oil is much cheaper. YOu can get it at health food stores, or vitamine shops. or on the internet.
It REALLY WORKS>

Well honestly, I can't stand if there's anything
on my face that shouldn't be there, so I
usually try to pick them.
In under the skin pimples, there's usually
no "white spot" to pop.
Sometimes I take a needle or a safety pin,
and push it in, to sort of deflate the pimple.
It may bleed a little but it makes the pimple flatter.
To completely get rid of it,
you need something strong.
Look for a pimple cream,
with Salicylic Acid OR Benzoyl Peroxide in it.
They can be found in most pimple creams,
at your grocery store.
I'd sugguest any Clearasil products.
Also, you might want to get an
exfoliating face scrub.
This will help to get rid of pimples,
and to prevent new ones from forming.
Anything that says "exfoliating" on it will be good.
If you need something stronger,
see your doctor.
He/she can prescribe you a
more effective acne cream.
Such as Benzaclin (I use it- its amazing!)
or Differin. You can ask your doctor about it,
and insurance will cover most of the cost. [ twistedsister17's advice column | Ask twistedsister17 A Question ]
