I recommend Clearasil or Proactiv. I used to have terrible acne, but I used those products and I saw a big difference in 3 days.

If you have moderate to severe acne you're not going to find an "overnight" fix. Pimples are infections and have to heal and that wont happen overnight. Try proactiv (not homemade but it will start to clear it up in a few days) and see if that works, drink alot of water, and do not pick at it.
I also use the Aveeno foaming face wash($8) and St. Ives Apricot scrub($3) in combination with the Proactiv and they both work great.

If you must pop a pimple yourself, apply a hot, wet compress until it becomes a whitehead, sterilize a needle in flame or alchohol and then carefully lance it. Squeeze it gently to drain and wash both your hands and the area of the pimple afterwards.
Try changing your bath soap - many people have reported success with Ivory’s “Sensitive Skin” product.
Switch to a makeup that is not oil based. The oils can irritate your skin and clog your pores.
Wash makeup off every night before retiring.
Is it your birth-control pill? If you think so then ask you doctor about switching to another kind.
Vary your exposure to sunlight - don’t get much? Get some more. Get too much? Try keeping to the shade. Experiment with sunblock.
Increase your water consumption - water. I repeat; W-A-T-E-R ;). This will help your body flush itself of toxins.
Steam your face over hot water, under a hot, wet towel, or in a sauna to open your pores and flush them out. Wash your face afterwards.
If you wash too much, your body my try and adapt by producing more oil - keep it at 1-2 gentle cleanses per day.
Could it be stress? Try getting more sleep, or jogging.
Mix a couple of tablespoons of baking soda with a few drops of water and apply it to the blemish nightly until it goes away.
Many people swear that applying a dab of toothpaste works, many others swear that it does not

Use a mild, fragrance-free face wash only twice a day with warm, not hot water... Also, make sure that you wash your bedding at least once a week, all that bacteria on your pillow case, etc. is bad for your skin. And, the most important thing... DO NOT POP! no matter how tempted you are, that will cause infection, and will most likely turn one pimple into several!
PS: There is no "overnight" cure for acne!
