I don't exactly have acne but more pimples and blackheads. I got them when I was about 13 I am 15 now. I have tried a few natural remedies such as honey and cinnamon mask but they just don't seem to work. Neither do the cleansers I'm using which is clearasil. I don't wear any makeup only ocassionaly but I regularly wear mascara. What can I do remove them. I also have them on my back. PLZ HELP!!

Apparently putting tooth paste in your pimples in the morning gets rid of them or the redness? And I've heard proactive is good, use it at night and they go in the morning?

Steam helps, and scrub your face afterwards :)

Thank you!! Riley I have tried toothpaste it doesn't seem to work at first it does but then it stops. I have also tried putting on a bit of Vicks vapour rub it worked but then nothing happened a few days later.

Take 1 or 2 spoon of curd add some turmeric powder...apply this paste daily. You will definitely see gud results.Make sure you drink lots of water.Drinking coconut water also helps in making the skin pimple n blemish free.Hope this helps.Gud luck!

DO NOT SCRUB YOUR FACE! Lol you'll just aggravate it more.
Try witch hazel? :)

Well I had some blackheads for the longest and the only thing that worked was clean n clear advantage it's really strong stuff and works great.

You should see your doc and get a topical gel/medication. It will clear your skin much faster and more effectively than any home remedy or face wash. I have a lot of experience with acne, and at this age its almost always caused by hormones, so you need products that are aimed at teen skin.

Yes do not scrub your face if you're broken out trust me! I had pimples too and the only thing that cleared up my skin and kept it under control was the acne.org regimen, you should look it up! Only downside is it drys your skin out but it's sooo worth it! Also I use neutrogena naturals acne wash, the less harsh chemicals the better!! Hope this helps you. Also no toothpaste lol

Please no toothpaste or home remedies!! They can scar your skin and spread more oil! Try epiduo and cetaphil, if things don't clear up, see a dermatologist =) hope this helps.

Never put toothpaste on pimples! Stop putting chemicals on the face it can keep aggravating it, sometimes leaving it alone can help, but never try toothpaste, speaking from the point of view of a makeup artist, try going to a dermatologist but for those blackheads nose strips somewhat work, but go get a facial it's the only way you're going to get them out!

Yeah, toothpaste did not work me either. Wash your face with warm water and whichever face wash you prefer and then rinse with lukewarm water. Don't touch your acne, or try any of those home made masks, they might help with skin, but not acne. Drink lots of water, and stay away from greasy foods. (:

These alcohol pads have helped me so much, I clean with them at night an in the morning. But they can dry you skin if you use them too much, you just start with using them once a day and work you way up, I also exfoliate with sugar once a week

Tooth paste with no gel in it. Aspirin mask. Coconut oil. They all are really good!

Benzyl Peroxide cleared up my own acne. You can find it it gel/creams or washes. You can generally get it over the counter at chemists.

The best acne system I've ever tried for my acne is Acnefree I'd recommend it to everyone I swear by it! You can get it in severe and the regular one I use severe! You'll start seeing a change in your skin within 2-3 weeks. Warning though since it is benzoyl peroxide it does dry up your face so I only use it at night and use a lighter cleanser with salacydic acid in the morning 😊

I will second the acnefree. it worked better than proactive on my hormonal teenage acne, and I still use the spot treatment to this day. love the stuff.
