Go get yourself a tube of Clearasil Ultra Vanishing Cream (10% Benzoyl Peroxide Acne Medication) It works every time!

I tried everything from Murad, regular strength Proactiv, Clearasil, eating healthy, large water intake, exercise, and what.......................NADA!!!!!. Maybe small temporary improvements at best. Here's what I started using now, ProActiv Extra Strength and I have to tell you it's better than any of that stuff mentioned before. I will also supplement (as of today) the proactiv regimen with 5g of Vitamin B-5 for the first 3 days and then 10g after that, supposedly panthotenic acid (vit b-5) supposedly works wonders for acne, there hasnt been many studies done on this but many testimonials directly attribute vit. b-5 to clearing their acne. Lastly I also picked up a bottle of Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar, another widely known acne remedy. I did alot of research online, there is definately thousands of products out there, individual results may vary - BUT CONSIDER THIS, INSTEAD OF SPENDING HUNDREDS OR THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS ON PRESCRIPTION MEDICINE AND DERMATOLOGISTS - TRY THE OTHER ROUTE FIRST, THE ROUTE OF TRYING THE INEXPENSIVE, "UNCONVENTIONAL" METHODS FIRST.
Just do some research on Vitamin B-5 and Apple Cider Vinegar. And also Proactiv Extra Strength is much more powerful than the reg. version.

Sorry hun but they're not going to be gone by Saturday. In fact, I have done the same things you have and I still have them (I have for 10 years now)
The best thing to do is to get some OIL-FREE foundation. I use Almay has always worked good for me and I have oily skin. Brush on some powder over top for a flawless look.
Only do this on special occasions because if you do it every day it may clog your pores.
Good luck!

OK, my favorite way to get rid of pimples is:
1) wash face with regular cleanser
2) scrub trouble spots with honey, leave on for a few minutes, then gently wash off with water
3) Then put plain paste toothpaste on spots and leave on over night.
This always works for me, even when I do it the night before a big day.
If you still have red marks on your face buy a concealer in a green color. Put that on under your foundation, and that should cover any unwanted coloring.

They won't be gone by Saturday, but there are a lot of very good foundation make ups that can hide them and still look natural.
Go to the cosmetics section of a good department store and ask for help in make choosing the type and color.

Nothing you can do. You're using everything you can.
Just keep doing it....do NOT over use your medication. It will NOT make it better, it will make it worse.
Just go to the store and buy some concealer. That works wonders.
