Don't laugh! Preperation H will help reduce the swelling and redness of pimples. This is a short term solution if you have a big date or something going on. This information came from a medical professional I know. I laughed so hard when I first heard it but it does work.

I think you can just put a little toothpaste at your pimples.

hello grantr4, i don't think pimples could ever go overnight.it needs much of patience and forbearance than treatment.basically its related to stress.so if you overburden the stress due to pimples then they are no way going.but still i can give you some tips to get rid of them in little possible time.but i can't promise on these tips. first thing is to apply some toothpaste on it and keep it for 10-15 min.it will take the redness out of it and even dry the pimple.second thing is crush two aspirin tablets and mix with cold water to make a paste.apply it on the pimple and leave it overnight.it will also heal the pimple.you can also use visine. the best way is to use something with benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid in it. besides all these if its severe then you should find out the reason first and then deal with it consulting your doctor.using and putting unnecessary things on the pimple can worsen the matter.and a healthy eating habit with lots of water and excercise would definitely get you rid of these pimples. sometimes they come out due to hormonal imbalance so in that case taking birth control pills will help.but its always advisable to consult your doctor.

I have yet to find the answer. I tried using pro-active but it only made me break out more. One think that is improving my complexion and lessening breakouts is a spot treatment from avon!

Use an astringent to get rid of the dust and sand when u return home, then a good face wash with granules or face scrub..and use an anti pimple face pack in the night(this will sure help n that too quickly).. Apply one oil-free cream while going out..Drink lots of water and avoid oily and spicy food..keep ur bowel movement good.. For quick relief I think there are products available in the market of Garnier

OH pimples are a real mess. The best way to fight pimples is the most easy way without any cosmetics. No: 1 what you might have heard a lot; reducing oily food. Well No:2 Washing your face with luke warm water followed by cold water minimum 3 times a day. You can do it as much as you want. It really works. For me it has worked. Eating a lot of tomatoes are also good for your skin. If you are keen in using some medication then clindamycin is the best.

When I was at my teenage years I was prone to pimples too...erk! and the easiest way to get rid of these are the ff: 1) have enough sleep 2) wash your face with a lukewarm water with a mild soap, then wash it again with a cold water so that the pores on your skin will be close.3)avoid eating oily foods like peanuts,fried fish, etc. 4) don't use facial creams and make-up when you have pimples, it will clog pores 5)you can buy over the counter medicated creams or pimple gel that will cure pimples.Goodluck('',)

Hi Grant! Hmm... the quickest way to get rid of pimples in a effective and unexpensive way is to wash your face every day and night with luke warm water and using a hypoallergenic soap. The luke warm water will open your pores so that the accumulated dust will be washed out. Then after rinsing your face free of soap, submerged your face in a bowl of very cold water to close and refine your pores. If you don't wash your face frequently,the dirt or the dust might compress and accumulate in your pores making it more prone to infection and inflammation. Hence, you will develop pimples.

when a pimple is about to pop with the tip of your center finger massage in circular motion with out taking your finger of the pimple,the seed of the pimple will vanish with the circulation of blood,and if it pops up then take a like soda an mix with water apply on it,it will vanish very soon
