One of the worse parts of pimples is the unsightly red, swollen marks that are left on your skin. Reducing pimple redness can be done with home remedies or over the counter treatments. Many people think that reducing pimple redness is impossible, however with a little bit of know how, you can stop the redness and camouflage the pimple much easier.
The first thing that you need to do for reducing pimple redness is to keep your skin clean, but do not over scrub. If you over scrub your skin, you will aggravate the pimples and make them look redder and more swollen than before. A simple solution to reduce redness fast is to use toothpaste on the pimple. Dab it on the pimple at bedtime and in the morning, the redness will be gone and the pimple will be dried out.
You can also use ice cubes for reducing pimple redness quickly and effectively. By applying ice cubes to the pimple for a few minutes, the redness should begin to disappear. It is also important not to squeeze your pimples or pick at them. By picking or squeezing, you will not only aggravate the area and make it look redder, but you may also cause permanent scarring or even infections.

Pimple creams has too much benzyol peroxide that dries your skin and may cause it to dry up darker than you skin color.
My grandma gave me a bottle of 100% Pure Tea Tree Oil in my teens, and it worked wonders.
Simply apply some tea tree oil on a cotton pad, and lightly dab on your pimple. The oil will kill the bacteria in the pimple, shrink it and then alow it to regrow the skin cells. Dead skin cells will fall off and you'll never have pimple scars! It's a natural antiseptic and can be used on cuts, burns, insect bites, wounds etc etc.
Plus, 100% Pure Tea Tree Oil lasts for a really long time and it takes just a little and goes a long way

wash twice a day with a mild soap such as cetaphil wait for your face to air dry, liberally put on a product that has benzoyl peroxide wait for that to dry, then put on an oil free moisturizer. when putting these on your face rub them in gently so that you barely move your skin. the zits should start to dry up in a few days. This type of acne is hard to get rid of. you may need to see a dermatologist to really get rid of it. also, if you have body acne similar to the pimples on your face there is a benzoyl peroxide body wash from oxy clean that works well. be careful with the benzoyl peroxide, it will bleech your clothing!

Apply glycolic peel .This has to be done under dermatologist's consent.After that regularly apply SPF 30 SUNSCREEN MOISTURIZER when you go out and even when you are at home
Or try applying a cotton swab of tea tree oil on the skin and on the spots and then wash off in one hour and continue with your cleansing,toning,moisturizing
Once in a week you can apply alpha hydroxy acid peel of or cream.You should be seeing the difference.

Leave them alone and try a benzol peroxide or salicyclic acid treatment found in many over the counter products.

pop them and then immediately put proactive acne treatment on it. proactive works immediately the day you put it on. it worked for all the celebrities with acne. so give it a try. trust me it will work if it doesn't try Clearasil acne cleanser and pop the zits first too. did that help at all. oh do anyone know miley Cyrus phone or e-mail address.

If you get some proactive and use as directed, I guarantee you all of that stuff will go away! The commercial isn't lying!
