To get rid of redness, apply eye drops to a pimple with a Q-tip. It works very very quickly. I love that beauty trick.

@Callie: "slang" for dermatologist. lol and a Q-tip is that stick with a lil cotton swab at the end.

Older versions of toothpaste contain zinc, which helps with acne. Newer versions tend to not, so its not really a big help.

I use MD Glycolic cleanser, but I warn you its harsh. Sensitive skinned shouldnt use it. But it works wonders!

I'm trying to lose dependence on pills and more on other stuff. Confused

Try the eye drops for stubborn zits.
I'm using pills for acne too but they are too weak methinks.So I think I'll just top taking them.

if Neutrogena makes you break out, ask a doctor because you might be allergic to something in it and unless that certain something is a secret botanical from the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea, it is most likely found in other products. But until then, find something that works for you and don't forget to:

-Clip your hair or get it out of your face, oil from it causes bumps
-Don't pick, scratch, pop, rub or even touch your face
-Moisturize every night (you won't age as quickly)

NOOOOOO ... right sorry lets get one thing straight ... every single one of us is too young for night time moisturisation ... Cleanse tone and moisturise in the morning. If you are taking off makeup ... of course afterwards put on a light and I stress light moisturiser ... heavy night creams are for ladies of a certain age who are past the stage of getting spots xxx
