Does anyone have any quick fixes for a little group of pimples that keep reappearring that I just can't seem to get rid of?
I've tried doing the clense every day and it still comes back, I've also tried using a tea tree blemish stick which doesn't seem to do much either (the second usually does help but not on this spot for some reason.)
Please help!

Try Neutragena's Rapid Clear (oil control face wash)..I have been using this stuff since I was a freshman in high school and now I am a freshman in college. I love it and it works great! Also, you may try to exfoliate your face once a week using a brown sugar scrub. ** mix 1/4 cup brown sugar with 3 teaspoons milk to form a paste. Rubbing Alcohol will dry up pimples too! whenever I have a trouble area that just wont go away, before bed i will take a cotton ball and rub some rubbing alcohol on it. Just be careful because alcohol like this can dry your face out really bad. Then last but not least if all else fails toothpaste works. It cant be the gel kind tough, it has to be a paste. Before bed put it on the problem area and let it set for a while before rinsing it throughly off. Theres something in the toothpaste that drys out pimples and helps clear them up.
Hope this helps you out!

I used to have quite a few black heads on my face and no matter what I used, no matter how much I washed or how I tried to treat them I couldn't get rid of them. I've even had expensive facials and micro dermabrasion treatments that cost my *** hundreds of dollars.
Like three months ago I ordered Proactive for my son,(they ship as often as you ask them)and like a month ago he got a shipment before his supply was gone. So thinking, 'what the heck' I decided to try it out and see if it did any good.
The first few days my face dried out some so I started using a little extra moisturizer and I kept using it . About a week into it my face got a few deep painful pimples. I figured that my skin was just cleaning it's self out so I continued using the stuff everyday.
It's been almost a month, and my black heads are almost completely gone. Even ones that have been there awhile. It has especially worked wonders on my 15 year old son's skin, and his was really bad.
I love this stuff. No more trying to get black heads out by squeezing till my face has bruises.
So i'd have to suggest trying ProActive. This stuff works.

I had a perfect, clear skin throughout school, however, when I matriculated my skin took a turn for the worst!!
I tried many treatments from your ordinary facial to a chemical peel with no positive results.
Then about 2 years later I found out about microdermabrasion and let me tell you that it is the only treatment that made a remarkable difference in a short period of time! Check it out, you wont be disappointed. Another tip would be to visit your doctor for a contraceptive pill to get your hormones balanced and controlled.
p.s also cut down on cheese....
Sweet and good luck

Have you tried contacting a local Mary Kay Costmetics representative? It sounds as though you need to use a good cleanser that can also exfoliate and tone. Are your pimples due to oily skin? Are you blemish-prone anywhere else?
I would encourage you to go to www.MaryKay.com/tbond61 to get more specific information, however, it sounds like you need Velocity Face Wash which retails for only $10 and then a wonderful acne treatment gel for $7.

Oxy works for me, also use a good astringent and moisturize, moisturize, moisturize...p.s. increase you water intake, try to drink at least 64 oz a day, cut back on greasy foods and sweets. ( no joke). also pro-active works, but not for acne vulgaris ( very painful deepseated acne) ..peace soulsista

USE PROACTIV. IT WORKS REALLY GOOD AND YOULL START SEEING RESULTS AFTER ONLY ONE WEEK. WELL THATS IF YOU USE IT EVERY MORINING AT NIGHT. THAT'S THE BAD THING ABOUT ALL SKIN CARE THINGS-----YOU HAVE TO KEEP USING IT EVERYDAY OR YOUR PIMPLES ARE GOING TO POP UP AGAIN.
