I have been using this zit cream, but I think I need something stronger. It cannot dry out my pores then though.

Sometimes the treatments that a person uses can make problems worse instead of better. When you use harsh products that dry out the skin, the skin produces more oils in order to maintain balance - which causes more acne. If you are using harsh treatments, trying something more gentle might help. My boyfriend uses Neutrogena 2 in 1 and the Purifying Treatment. Personally, I use the Philosophy Makeup Optional kit. I think that we are both happy and don't see too many zits.
Good advice is to make sure that you drink enough water. 8 cups a day is the normal amount prescribed. Also, make sure that you wash your face in the morning, after any excercise or sweaty activities, and ALWAYS before you go to bed at night.
Good luck!

Put a small amount of flouride toothpaste on the zit for a couple of nights. The Flouride will dry out the acne and use clean and clear daily face wash. It has little scrubbing things and works extremely well for me. Clean and clear has been the best although noxema does too. Good luck!

Try Mary Kay acne gel.....my son uses it 3 times a day and it keeps the zits under control. That stuff is the best thing Ive found, and weve tried many things.
