I have tried almost every single kind of face wash from the drugstore and NOTHING has worked. I have recently gotten more acne and I need something to get rid of it FAST (picture day is coming up) Does anyone know of some QUICK, FAST WORKING cures for acne/pimples???

There are some great natural methods that help with acne. As a spot treatment, tea tree oil works great! I used benzoyl peroxide, and it harmed my skin badly, then I switched to tea tree oil and I'm really happy with the results. As a cleanser, some people use sulfur based cleanser, or cleansers with tea tree oil or green tea. Personally, I use Cetaphil because is very gentle and doesn't have too much chemicals. As a moisturizer, I use jojoba oil. It helps controlling the oil production and it also helps with the red and brown marks. As a scrub, baking soda does a great job and as a toner, some use apple cider vinegar diluted in water and apply it with a cotton ball. I tried it and it did a great job.
This website has a great message board in which you can read more about natural methods that help fight acne:

NATURAL ACNE PROTOCOL
1/ Never, ever touch your face.
2/ Use 3 facecloths to wash your face, one to soap on, one to soap off with very hot water, one to rinse off with ice cold water, in that order, once a day.
3/ If you are under 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A once a day with a full meal
4/ If you are over 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A twice a day with a full meal.
Do not get pregnant while taking vitamin A. Do not take any more, like Accutane, it will stop you growing.
5/ Never, ever. pick, squeeze or pop your spot. Read number 1 again.
6/ Do this for 90 days.
7/ Invest in a brand new pillow and 2 new or more pillow cases to �double bag' your pillow. HOT wash every couple of days.

A bit of advice given to me as a teenager, a bit of science as I am studying allergic reactions and vitamin A is a part of that. A bit of research: I sat in a lecture at the back and watched the acne prone pick at their faces, those with the worse acne touched their faces 32 times in an hour, the clearest complexions didn't touch their faces even once. I have circumstantial evidence that acne is the result of dermatophyte transfer from hands to face...where it does not get washed off and is well fed by hormones, sweat a
nd oil...just a hypothesis... But it would explain why vitamin A is so effective as vitamin causes skin to remove dermatophytes.
The secret is never to touch the spots

Use zinc tablets. They're amazing, and simply a natural mineral with no side effects. I went through the same problem as you, and once I started using them, I cleared up super fast. Good luck!

don't use special creams for acne cause they DONT WORK!! they just dry out your skin. instead use products for normal skin.
drink plenty of water and eat tons of fruit.
if it's really bad talk to your doctor.
