Pimples!

[Jinjer]

Ok....is there are post about this???? (I'm sure there may be one...but)

So what do you guys use for tiny pimples? Mine are not so bad that I have to use Pro-activ...i just have some tiny ones that i want to get rid of....at the moment i'm using Benzoyl peroxide 10% which is the active ingredient in Proactiv and it seems to be working.....

what do u guys use?

C.O. Bigelow purifying cleansing mask (I use it 2x a week, and then sometimes spot treat w/ it at night) and/or 100% tea tree oil. salicylic acid and BP really mess up my skin, so I can't use them.

clean and clear anstringent (sp?)

Deep cleansing mask is good and also I love Mario Badescu's Drying Lotion for occasional pimples. I put it on at night on the pimples and in the morning they look so much better. I've heard that Benzol Peroxide is really bad for the skin especially if used for long-term. Products with salicylic acid should work but my skin is so sentitive that I can't use them. Sometimes using too harsh of products can upset the balance of the skin and return create pimples. I've seen this happen with my skin several times.

This is my first time using Benzoyl peroxide and i find it's working great for me....the sacylic acid products are ok but are not as effective in treating the pimples that I have....I got my breakouts after using a cleanser (body) called Tisane de bourbon....has anyone tried this before?

if you can catch it in time a clay mask works great!

I love Acne barier tea tree oil medicated spot treatment for pimples.

I'm using the Mint Julep mask as I type...then I'm gonna use my BP 10% and see what happens......this seems to be zapping them

mark's "In Your Dreams" acne gel--very effective!

I spot treat with apple cider vinegar actually!

if they don't have a white head, and u don't have an acne problem you should go to your local dermatologist and see if they offer acne facials, which they probably do. that's what i do for those little pimples under the skin that u just can't seem to get rid of. ask them if they do extractions ( that's when they use a tool that won't scar your skin like picking will to get those pores unclogged). good luck hun!
