I am only 16 and about a week ago I started getting really bad pimpes all over my face (it is so embarassing to go anywhere) I was wondering what I should do. I wash my face 2 times a day! School starts in 3 days and I need something fast, Help!!!!!

I had the worst acne and backne ever this summer after getting a bad sunburn, i went to walgreens and got this stuff called Acne Free by University Medical because I didn't want to wait to order Pro Active solution, which I had heard really works and have some friends that have flawless skin who use it. Anyway, it takes about 5 days to really work, so I'd advise going out and getting it pronto.

Okay, I know this sounds horrible but it actually works in a hurry! Go to the drug store and buy some Preparation H (yes, the hemmorhoid creme, okay?). Put a dab on each spot, taking care to avoid the skin around it. Let it absorb as much as it can for twenty minutes or so and then just gently wipe it off with a cotton ball and some astringent (Noxema makes a good one for oiliy skin). The medication that works to reduce swelling and redness will work on the acne to reduce its appearance. Use some concealer (oil free!) lightly to cover it up during the day when you're out and about, otherwise, leave your skin bare because you don't want to clog the pores and cause more acne! In the meantime, order Proactive online. That stuff really works and it's worth every penny!!!

Use St. Ives Medicated apricot scrub in the morning followed by toner and moisturizer. Use a medicated foundation like the one by Neutrogena that has salicylic acid in it. Take some soap and your make-up with you to school and repeat at lunch time. At night, wash your face with anti-bacterial soap, toner and apply acne meds.

first of all, DONT HAVE ANY CAFFEINE! its bad for your skin. that'll help in the long run, but for now u'd need quick results so i think you should wash your face with Neutrogena Deep Clean cream, or get proactive. some things that i havent tried but heard from comercials that work are proactive and clearasil ultra.

Try proactive, or Clearasil ultra that's what I use. I had the same problem and Clearasil worked.Or stridex but Clearasil is my vote!
Good Luck, at least it's not like picture day!

Stay away from oily food, and dry them with alcohol or put neosporin on them. If you can afford it, get Pro-active.
