February 15th, 2010 | 
Author: Okay, well I have ALOT of acne on my forhead thank god not on my face, but anyways I was wondering what are the best home remedies to clear it and over the counter brands that I could use, that actually WORK.
Thanks !
Use some rubbing alcohol and apply a VERY small amount on your pimple. And if you’re kinda embarrassed where some of your acne is appearing from, you can disguise it by use a Q-tip or cotton ball and apply it on. Oh and try this! Mix olive oil and salt together and apply it to your face. It really works! I know "oil" but trust me, it works. Don't use products like Proactive...IT DOES NOT REALLY WORK! Oh and another way to zap pimples is toothpaste and shaving cream! Use toothpaste and apply it to your pimple and cover it up with a band-aid. Shaving cream works too, apply it on and your acne will dry up immediately....but don't forget to wash your face even though it’s gone. Dab garlic juice on your face. It works too, and tries smashing an aspirin tablet and mixes some lemon juice with it and applies to your face daily. Don't stress out and try to keep your hands and hair away from your face! I hope it helped how it helped me!

I have had good luck with Acne Free (wal-mart brand of Pro-Active). Also I really Clean and Clear Continuous Control Acne Cleanser. Both of these use the active ingredient benzoyl peroxide, which I think works better than salicylic acid.
Also i’m sure already know: wash your face twice a day and no more. Try to limit hair products you get on your face, such as hair spray which can clog pores.

I have used AcneFree also for almost 2 and a half years. It has helped clear off most of my pimples. It’s impossible for any medication to completely cure them. I used to have mildly sever acne and now I have about 5 pimples max on my face. It’s really great. AcneFree is a great long-term medication. I’m 13 almost 14, so it’s natural for me to have pimples. This medication has helped me clear my skin soo much. Try it! Make sure to use a mosturizer afterwards though!

No over the counter products will completely heal your acne. Acne is a medical condition; you need to see a doctor for it. Over the counter products are made to control acne once yours clears up. There are no over the counter medications that are strong enough to really clear up your skin. Buying these products will probably prove to be a waste of time and money. Moderate acne requires prescribed treatment.

There is this new popular cream that people have been talking about.
It prevents future and existing acne, diminishes scars, and lightens skin and blemishes. Fast results too! (It’s been claimed that major results can be seen within a week and no later than two weeks)
Before and After photos are available at the given ebay site.
This person is providing 1-3 week trial samples (Only for ONE DOLLAR.. definitely a deal) on ebay at:
Search up "Cee En’s Acne Solution" on ebay.
First 100 customers can get the item for $1 for one week trial and up to 3 weeks. Or you can purchase 1 month supply for $40, 3 month for $100, or 6 month supply for $150
It’s expensive, but the product DOES work.
My sister and cousin who both have major acne have tried the product and they both give it thumbs up. I have also heard many great feedbacks about this cream.
I don’t have a problem with acne, but it seems to have great results on my sister who has moderate to severe acne. Her acne swelling went away overnight.
check the seller’s feedbacks on the cream
