This is my second baby and he's only 2 weeks old. I know you can't cure it and I hear that babies get it from their mother's hormones. I would like to know if there is some way to get rid of it faster or anything special I should be doing for them.

Leave him alone, for crying out loud!

Johnson & Johnson's baby bath bar. Not the body soap, just the regular old white little bath bar.
This should go away soon enough. My kids have had it, along with quite a few of my nieces & nephews.
I've always used Johnson & Johnson's. I have super sensitive skin, and so do my kids. It's the only one that I trust to be totally tear free, and gentle on the skin. Our pediatrician still recommends this for baby acne - and has never recommended anything but.

Wash your baby's face with warm water daily. For babies with acne, use a mild moisturizing facial soap several times a week and rinse with warm water. Simply pat your baby's skin dry. Avoid using lotions or oils on your baby's skin. Don't pinch or scrub the acne. You may cause more irritation or an infection. For More Detail Visit Here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1sW5Fx9CKI

Nope...just leave it alone to dry out and go away on its own. Don't goop it up with lotions, oils, creams, etc. because they will serve no purpose other than to irritate the acne. My younger son had it, and this is what my pediatrician told me to do. Infant acne isn't like teenage or adult acne that can be painful...it's not uncomfortable to them at all. Just leave it alone to dry out and it'll be gone before you know it. :)

For the most part leave it alone.
Also know that it can be cause by reactions to perfumes, lotions, pollutants in the air even fabric softener on your clothing. My niece breaks out if anyone with lipstick or lipgloss kisses her. Make sure that everyone washes their hands well before they come in contact with him or his things.
Just keep him well cleaned and let his skin do it's thing. It needs to adjust to the change in hormones as well as the new suroundings.

My daughter had them relly bad and my mother told me that it is normal. Dont touch them, wash her normally and just ignore them, they will clear up on their own in a couple of weeks, Don't worry many babies get them, it is perfectly normal.
Those two links explain and tell you everything you need to know about it.
Good Luck and stop worrying. I know it's hard, I took my baby to the hospital just to be sure and the nurse told be that any kind of rash is normal unless in has a purple color to it and it has blood coming out of it. Everything else is perfectly normal.

Actually, newborns pores open the first couple months. Often it looks like little pimples or acne. Just keep him baby clean and it will resolve itself. Congrats!

don't do a thing other than the regular bathing. baby acne is normal and don't mess with it. don't try popping them and don't use adult products on him. it is VERY normal and will go away and come back on occasion. it doesn't hurt them and the worse thing about it is it just looks bad.
