So I've alway had acne and my skin is pretty scarred and nasty because of it but I'm going back to school tomorrow and since yesterday I have four huge pimples growing on my left cheek.


I don't expect to get rid of them overnight but does anybody know any products that will reduce it or at least reduce the pain and any ways to successfully conceal it with drugstore products?

and has anyone had any success with the topical clean&clear/neutrogena/etc.products? I'm desperate!

Thanks for the recommendation, Alexis. Do you know if any of the spot treatments they have might help?

Try the neutrogena acne face wash it has worked for me & the clean & clear spot treatment that should help

Neutrogena on-the-spot works okay, I know they have a new spot treatment out now from the Neutrogena Naturals line.. I haven't tried it yet but I might!

Hi Claudia, If you want something quick to reduce the redness, acne or pimples. tonight put a paste of honey on your problem area, leave it on for about 30imites then wash it off with warm water. Honey has anti-inflammatory qualities that help prevent the swelling and redness that can come from acne.
And or if you have a rough banana at home like the old kind of banana the yellow brownish color, no other color but that color. Peel your banana, and save the peel, You take the Brown part of the peel and you rub it on your problem area for about 5 minutes. then after rubbing leave what you rubbed on your face for 30 minutes then wash it off with warm water. What makes this my favorite method for fighting acne? The fact that the natural ingredients in the banana peels not only heal the acne in no time but also clear the blemish and leave absolutely no sign whatsoever.
I hope this helps you!
I have had bad acne for Years now and this is the method that really helped my acne to go away.

The bare minerals rare minerals treatment is great!! It smells kinda bad, but it'll be fine on your cheek. It's a powder and will slightly reduce redness and will work wonders on size. I usually layer some on before I go to bed and then I apply it under my makeup during the day. Works really well for men

Firs of all you should go to a dermatologist to see your face and give you the right medicine ☺️& you should drink a lot of water and take a good care of your skin to help get all the acne off ☺️anyway I prefer neutrogena 👌

The Oxy pads are VERY VERY rough on the skin. There is a higb alcohol content and I find the pads themselves to be rough. You can try a benzoyl peroxide spot treatment, tea tree oil and even apple cider vinegar can help a bit. I recommend diluting Tea tree oil and th ACV though.
