Lots of pimples and such, what should I use?

Here are some REALLY good, and very inexpensive ways to treat most acne at home. Try each method (unless you’re allergic to the ingredients) until you find one that works best for you. Good luck =) BTW, I know some of these may sound bizarre but try them…what have you got to lose other than the acne!!
1. Put toothpaste on your acne before going to bed. (Make sure it is paste not gel). It should reduce the swelling of acne noticeably.
2. Dab egg whites on your acne and leave on for 20 minutes or overnight. It’s supposed to pull the infection out of the blemish.
3. Wash acne infected areas twice a day with warm salt water. This reduces oils in the skin and helps to dry the acne up without further agitation.
4. Use ice on acne before going to bed. This works best on pimples that have not yet formed a head. It reduces swelling and helps to prevent scarring.
5. Wash and dab acne with cotton balls that have been soaked in vinegar. Let dry; do not wash off immediately.
6. Place strawberries leaves over your acne and the alkalinity will help to reduce the swelling.

I used MD Forte II for a bit. But it stung a lot when I would have a little cut. I heard it was good. I switched last month to Acnefree (it has three steps). Use it morning and night. It works well for me. I don't really have crazy acne (but I get pimples). The Acnefree seemed to help with the pimples. I've barely gotten any in a while.

Basically any type of skin cleanser will do. I use equate 'Skin Cleanser', from Wal-Mart, which is the same as using Cetaphil. Acne is caused by having oily skin. As long as you keep the oil off your skin, then you won't have acne. You can also try any of the Neutrogena products, they all have sacylic acid in them and that's what clears up acne.

the best brand is dermalogica. it is pretty expensive, although all the products that do work well are highly priced. i would totally recommend it to anyone. you cant find it in drugstores but some salons do carry it or you could like special order it or something.
good luck. :]

If you have a oily face like i do, then i would recommend oxy. I use the oxy pads, oxy face wash, and oxy cover up.
