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.

Hi, From everything I've read I don't think you can get rid of acne quick, but you can find a good product that will clear you up and keep you clear. I have a friend who started using a product called Clear Advantage from Arbonne and it has worked wonders for her. She is 30 and has tried everything out there. You can find it at www.wonderful.myarbonne.com in the online catalog. Good luck to you.

Why would you waste 5 points on a question that's already been asked?
I repeat myself but what the hey.Clearasil is good stuff.The gone in three days cream especially works very quick.
If you have sever acne you could ask your doctor for antibiotics against acne,they exist.
Don't pay attention to people who start about you diet.Acne and food habits are not related,that's just a myth.

Washing your face twice a day with a mild soap like DOVE or LEVER 2000. Guaranteed!!!

well nothing is quick, but if it is really bad go to your doctor and get acutane. It is the best drug but it takes a while to work and bloodtests are required monthly on this medication.
