don't use nail polish remover. instead, use salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide, which have been known to help with acne. you can get these topical ointments from your local drugstore. or you can even use toothpaste to dry out pimples.

NO ALCOHOL!!!! It will irritate your skin and you will need special products for sensitive skin all your life (like I do), no toothpaste either. Try washing your face (only twice a day, no more. Even if you have very oily skin) with Salicilyc acid 2% morning and evening. Let it in your skin for a few minutes. Rinse. Then apply some glicolic acid 10% for a few minutes and rinse your face. At night you can use some benzoil peroxide 2.5 or 5% after washing your face with the salicilyc acid. Your pimples will disappear in no time and it´s not expensive. Try not wear bangs ( everyone has some dirt and oil in the hair and it doesn´t help your pimples). And DON´T RUB your skin! This will only make your face more oily. Good Luck!

Nail polish remove does not contain alcohol, some of it has acetone and it is very drying to the skin. My daughter uses a product by the name of "ZapZit". Sold at Wal-Mart for very reasonable price - it is very drying as well but it works and you can always use some moisturizer and facial scrub after the pimple is gone.

No offense but the nail polish thing is kind of dumb. I am sure you know that you get pimples from clogged pores. Also your pores need an ample amount of oxygen. Hints, fingernail polish remover will just worsen the problem. I use pro active and i honestly see no improvement in my skin. Clearasil makes acne vanishing cream that you can wear to sleep and school. I love it. Practically works overnight and it's only like 4 bucks when my proactive isn't even working and it was like 65.

No. Its a bad idea. Nail polish contains ton of harmful not to mention dangerous chemicals that could cause harm if you drank so placing it on your skin where your pores could slowly take it in is still not a good idea. Try tazerac.

OMG, NO!!! Acetone is never good for any part of your skin!!
Alcohol isn't good either. It's very drying to your skin!! Try using some benzoyl peroxide gel, you can get the cheap Wal-Mart kind for a couple of dollars.

No, it's a bad idea. Your pimples will go away when you're done with puberty.
