What is the best cream for getting rid of pimples?!?

Question

I'm starting to get pimples and white heads bad! I already have 11 and I'm getting more help me!

Answer 1

Look for the following ingredients when purchasing products:

1. Benzoyl Peroxide-Don't overdo it though. It tend to dry out tender skin and cause rashes. Look for lotions from oxy, clearsil, etc. with this ingredient and dab the lotion right on the pimple.

2. Salicylic Acid-Washes and Lotions with this ingredient help peel away the outer skin layer, and pushing through newer skin. It helps unclog the pores leaving your skin with a healthier glow.

3. Glycolic Acid or Alpha Hydroxy Acid-Similar to Salicylic Acid, but a little more effective. A dermotologist can treat you with a strong percentage and it will literally peel your dead skin away. Great for younger looking skin.

4. Non-Comedigenic-This means that the lotion you apply is not clogging your pores. Use this when looking for washes, moisturizers and sunscreens (look at Cetaphil, Purpose and some Neutrogena products).

5. Do not buy toners or alcohol wipes. These will dry out the outer layer of your skin, but at the same time-it makes your skin think its dry and makes the oil glands more active!


It is important NOT to overwash, apply alcohol or anything that will dry out your skin. Drying for acne is a myth. The key is to keep your pores unclogged, not allowing bacteria to get trapped underneath.

If you have special event and have an oversized pimple that is just too embarrassing, your dermotologist can give you a cortisone shot that will bring it down overnight.

Stay out of the Sun! Not only does this dry out your skin and create a "dead" layer of skin that eventually clogs your pores, but is also one of the cheif reasons for rosecea, an adult skin disorder that looks just like acne.

Keep in mind that hormones are one of the biggest causes of acne. You can't change your age and what your body does naturally, however you can reduce the foods that affect your hormones negatively. Chocolate is a myth, don't buy into that. Instead look into reducing dairy products and other food that affect your hormonal system. Drink lots of water, and eat lots of fruits and veggies.

In the end, there are lots of products that contain the ingredients mentioned, do your homework, and check the prices. Some products charge $60-$100 or something you can buy at the drugstore with the same active ingredients for $6-$18. The key is-look at the ingredients!

Answer 3

try a honey mask.... make sure ur skin is not too sensitive/allergic to honey by putting some in a small area near the jaw line...


anyways, at night after u wash and moisturize ur face, put dabs of honey either all over ur face or on top of the pimples. it is a natural anti-bacteria and helps reduce the blemishes and soften skin. good luck!

Answer 4

Practive, or you can try the Neutrogena Invigorating scrub, that really worked for me. To mostuirize, I use Johnsons baby lotion in the face after the scrub. It is really good and NEVER forget to wash your face after using make up, it will make your face look terrible the next day!!!

I hope this work for you as good as it worked for me, if you have any question, feel free to email me :)

It's a prescription, but ask your doctor about Sulfacet if you're not allergic to sulfur (some people are). Sulfacet is not really drying and it has helped me when other medicines have not.
