Use toothpaste, it dries them out overnight or throughout the day if you are not going anywhere.

Try Clearasil Ultra astringent. i dont think you can get rid of acne in minutes (wishful thinking) but this will make it almost completley gone in like 3 days. it starts drying it out the second you put it on. But dont go crazy cuz youll dry the hell out of your skin and your face will be all crusty. so get a really good moisturizer and use it a couple times a day while you are using the clearasil.they also make face wash and a pimple cream. Its all supposed to work in three days but i really dont suggest using them all at the same time cuz its way too drying. youll end up very red and crusty. so good luck and be easy
BTW. its in a blue bottle

he products you are using, are they Salsylic Acid or Benzoyl peroxide? BP can be VERY drying. I personally like SA better. Salsylic acid it really good. It is in almost all acne washes. Benzoyl Peroxide is too drying for me! Try finding a face lotion with SA in it. Clean and Clear has a good moisturizer with SA and it helps keep pimples at bay. It is only about $5 a bottle and lasts about 2 months and you can get it at your local store. I have used this in the past and it works well. Personally, I use Biore products (which you get over the counter. Their products range from $5-$10). They are harsh on pimples, but not on your face.
Personally, Proactive didn't work for me. I have been using Biore products for over a year and I hardly ever break out! Occasionally I will get one or two, but nothing bad. I use Biore Ice Cleanser and warming facial scrub every morning. And then 3-4 day s a week I use Biore purging pore cream scrub. For body acne I use Neutrogena acne body wash I never break out on my body. It gets 110 in summer so sweat in inevitably, yet I never break out. Give it a try. All of it is cheap too. About $5-10 depending on what you buy! Salsylic acid it really good. It is in almost all acne washes. Benzoyl Peroxide is too drying for me! I think you will just need to experiment with products until you find what works for you. Remember, it can take 1 month for products to fully begin working! Good Luck!

Ok I don't know if it's the right thing to do but this is what I do and it seems to have an effect. I have a shower morning and night, and use moisturiser that has aloe vera in it after each shower so that your skin doesn't have time to over-react with sweaty grease. Seems to work for me but I don't know if it's having a long term effect because my pores seem bigger than they should be now.
