I usually only have one or two pimples that pop up but they sometimes get a little big. What is the best spot treatment to make them die FAST?

[arrrny]

i say just leave them alone.. cuz sometimes when you do something to them they might get irritated and more will pop up.

I zap them with tea tree oil. Kills them right on contact.

what is tea tree oil? where can I find it? does it work for big headless zits or only white and blackheads?

[CAMPBELLS]

got mine from drugstore.com from the company Desert Essence

I try to leave them alone. cos interfering with them can make them worse. When I put on my BP at night, I put a little more on the big spot, and dodge that spot when putting the moisturiser on. Dries it up nicely.

YES! Tea Tree Oil!! Its awesome

you can get it at bodyshop... but its probably more expensive than anywhere else.

i was fortunate enough to find some in Germany for under 3 dollars lol

i usually dry out the suckers and let them dissappear on their own.

Tea tree oil is a natural anti-fungal-bacterial product. It works just as great, or even better then BP on your skin. You can find it at any health food store, our in Body Shop, even some markets might carry it. Ask the pharmasist if they carry it. Yeah, it works wonders for headles zits!..white heads, pustules, cysts. Apply it no more then twice a day, more then that might be too over-drying..

Hope that answered your questions..

toothpaste! lol ahhh those were the days

[(eLLe)]

i'm in the same situation. i just leave them alone. if it comes to a head and is swelling so bad, i'll pop it, then disinfect with tto. if not, it'll eventually go away by itself.

Oh my gosh I use to use that on my first forming zits when I was beginning puberty!

I hated putting that crap on my face. Not only did it sting..if my hair got in it, it got all sticky too..not cool.
Well at least my hair would smell fresh

Do you use pure Tea Tree Oil or do you dilute it?

At night I use 1 drop of pure tea tree oil. I use Thursday Plantation 100% Pure Tea Tree Oil. I got it at Target, I think. I put the oil on a small cotton ball, along with 1 drop of Now Geranium Essential Oil.

In the morning I use a mixture of 2 oz Witch Hazel, 1 oz Rose Water, 15 drops tea tree oil, 10 drops geranium oil. It is less drying. I am clear now except for redmarks. Which are fading.

This is gonna sound weird but after one has popped/I've poked it with a needle and squeezed some stuff out (I know, aaahhh don't do that!)...ANYWAY, after I've done that, I put a big spot of neutrogena deep clean on it and by morning it has usually reduced to a scab or at least a way smaller version of what it was.

This probably isn't recommended by anyone else but I've founf that it works for me because I am impatient and will deal with covering up a scab rather than a huge blemish.

hey guys, i used to have really bad spots, they died off for a while and only a couple of days ago i woke up and my face was full of them, under my nose and my two cheeks very bad, my mom bought some stuff called Freederm from boots, amazing stuff! i put it on at about half 11 in the morning, had a shower at 6 at night and the difference was amazing, ive now applied again and are awaiting for even better results tomorrow morning, confidence is a massive thing with me and im really self concious about myself, so try this out guys, i dont have acne, but this was like acne the amount of spots i had here, so give it a shot, only a couple of quid, great stuff it is, ive applied some moisturiser as my skin is a little dry although it was very dry before i put the stuff on, trust me its cracking stuff!
