Okay so I have fairly good skin hardly ever get pimples. But within the last couple of days I have gotten maybe 5 of them on my face. I wash my face in the morning and at night with Clean and Clear. Can anyone help me with some rememdies that can help me to get rid of the ones that I have now.
Thanks!:confused:

I've had A lot of problems with my skin in the past, and have used just about every product (over the counter and prescription) out there.

If your only noticing a few blemishes, and aren't getting any more:
If your using something like clean and clear- which I assume has salicylic acid in it, try something without the medication. Sometimes, when you use a drying cleanser like this- it can actually irritate your skin CAUSING breakouts. Try Nuetrogena "Purpose" gel cleanser, it's great-removes oil and dose'nt dry your skin. After cleansing, try Clean and Clear "Persa Gel 10". It's got tons of medication in it and dries up blemishes in about two nights (it's really drying, so try it only at night).

Otherwise, you can just try switching out your cleanser for something else . Sometimes if you use the same thing for too long, your skin can become almost immune to it.

If you notice your getting them more frequently and in larger amounts, see a dermatologist ASAP... don't let it go!

Hope this helps!

Hi, daddysgirl86!

The answer above by G383 is excellent! Other things that you might want to look into would be how long it's been since your bed pillows have been washed and also whether you have been under more of an amount of stress in your life than usual. I get a lot of pimples when I'm under an unusual amount of stress.

Thanks!
