Toothpaste! When I see a pimple coming up I apply a small dot of crest white toothpaste and leave it on for 15min. It has to be paste though not gel. The toothpaste usually dries it right up!

Wash my face then put witch hazel or salicylic acid on and wait for it to dry then put benzoyl peroxide on. After about an hour I wipe the benzoyl peroxide off and put coconut oil on because it drys out your skin. No cover up or foundation. I use witch hazel for redness and benzoyl to get rid of acne.

I've been using neutrogenas acne oil free wash and scrub since highschool. I had tried tons of products but either way I always go back to neutrogenas. btw if you have extremely oily skin like mine , try magnesia milk after moisturizer and before makeup. just a tiny layer.

Epiduo!! It's amazing, but you can only get I by prescription...but a lot of dermatologists prescribe for mild and severe ance. And the Clinique 7 day scrub is awesome!

I wash my face with cetaphil, then I use queen helens mint julep mask( I put it all over if its a bad break out, and then spot treatments if it just a few) and if that doesn't work, I bust out the clean and clear salicylic acid gel stuff:)

Wash my face with a benzoyl peroxide bar, and then use moisturizer. About once a week I do a face mask made of honey, olive oil, a touch of lavender essential oil, and a bit of cinnamon!

I use cleansing oil to get stubborn makeup then use a scrub or face wash. I use witch hazel as toner then put benzoyl peroxide cream only on the areas with acne. I use cerave pm or l'occitane hydrating mask if my skin gets dry. In the morning, I use origins moisturizer and I never put the benzoyl peroxide cream in the morning.

Let me start by saying this. I do not have insurance, but after so long dealing with acne I finally had enough. I paid $100 and went to dermatologist 2 months ago, and my face has dramatically gotten sooo much better. For once in my life, my skin is clear and healthy. I take doxycycline ($10 Rx) 2x a day, wash with cerave or cetaphil ($6 walmart) wash at night. Wait 30 min. and apply tretinoin (retin a) ($30 Rx w/online coupon). In the morning, I use neutrogena clear pore
cleanser/mask ($6 walmart) followed by clyndamycin topical solution
($10 Rx). If I had known what I know now, I would have gone to derm a long time ago, and probably wouldn't have the acne scars I have now. It is definitely worth the money.

I had HORRIBLE acne, and I wash everyday, night and day, with Noxzema Moisturizing Cream facewash, and then apply a moisturizer. That's it! Now my face is clear, and my scars are pretty much faded away :D Biggest tip: MAKE yourself drink 8 cups (atleast) of water a day. Make a checklist if you have to! (:
