Anybody have any tips for removing acne and pimples really fast? I recently had a pretty big breakout and I can't seem to get rid of them. I've been using this Clean and Clear Continuous Cleanser for a few weeks now but it doesn't seem to be working. Any suggestions of products that really work, really well, and pretty fast? And also doesn't dry out your skin. Thanks!
btw, is it bad to remove pimples by popping them? and does it leave scars if you do?
LM answered Monday July 2 2007, 9:02 pm: Clean & Clear Advantage Spot Treatment works for me. So does any product with benzoyl peroxide. They CAN be drying, though. So have some moisturizer handy.
Popping CAN leave scars, yeah. But I get scars either way. Sometimes I'd rather cover a scar with makeup than have a zit the size of a peanut hanging around for three weeks, ya know? If you DO pop a zit [or five] make sure it's come to a head first, put a warm facecloth on it for a few minutes first, use clean hands, and apply salicyic acid on it as soon as you can [minimizes scarring] [ LM's advice column | Ask LM A Question ]

And if you do it a lot when you grow up you will have dents in your face.
Well my sister uses proactive, it works really well for faces that have a lot of acne.
But if you usually don't get a lot of acne, I always put a dot of crest toothpast on a zit or two, and it shrinks it, it soaks up all of the inside.
Hope I helped.
