Toothpaste is not suitable for all, plus there are soo many varieties available that you just don't know. I've been taking homeopathic treatment for acne. The doc says after 6 months of treatment the acne will go forever. Have been into it for 2 months already and it seems to work, coz now i am not getting any more new pimples. I also apply a face pack which works out just fine. It includes honey + few drops of lemon + grounded nutmeg. Apply it on the face for 20 mintes daily. \nAlso, keeping your head free of dandruff works. \n\nApplying lemon juice on the scars for 10 minutes daily also helps.\nDo not expect immediate returns. It will take some patience.\nAll the best.

Photoshop?\n\nSorry, I know you probably wanted a serious answer, but that's how I'd get rid of them.  It works for wrinkles, moles and freckles, too.  :)

DISCLAIMER: Before using any medicines, you should consult a registered physiscian. This is only for information.\n\nAcne Treatment\n\n|Self-Care at Home|\n\n    * Wash once or twice daily with soap and water to remove excess oil from the skin. An acne cleanser purchased over-the-counter in any drug store can also be helpful. Avoid scrubbing too abrasively because this can actually irritate the skin and cause acne to worsen.\n\n    * Over-the-counter acne medications can be used either at bedtime or during the day. Always follow the directions on any acne product.\n\n    * Many cover-up products are available without a prescription to improve the appearance of blemishes while they have a chance to heal. Most work well and should not worsen acne.\n\n    * Some cosmetics and other skin care products, however, can cause acne to worsen. Look for make-up, cosmetics, and skin care products labeled with the word noncomedogenic. This means that it does not cause or worsen acne.\n\n|Medical Treatment|\n\nMany treatment options are available to treat all forms of acne. Medications are the main treatment for acne and usually work well. Several preparations are available over-the-counter, while others require a prescription from a doctor.\n\n    * Over-the-counter medications: Nonprescription or over-the-counter medications for acne are plentiful and can be effective for milder forms of acne. They come in the form of soaps, washes, and cleansers.\n\n          o Many contain benzoyl peroxide, which does two things. First, benzoyl peroxide kills the acne-causing bacteria, which are thought to play a role in acne. Second, benzoyl peroxide can cause drying and flaking off of skin, which can help prevent the pores from becoming plugged. Plugged pores can develop into acne blemishes.\n\n          o Scrubbing excessively with any over-the-counter preparation can actually cause acne to worsen by additionally irritating the hair follicles.\n\n    * Prescription medications: Doctors can prescribe medications when acne becomes moderate to severe or is not controlled by over-the-counter medications. Prescription drugs can be used effectively alone or in combination with other prescription and nonprescription medications.\n\n          o Antibiotics: Antibiotics can be effective in treating most inflammatory acne (papules and pustules). They work by killing the bacteria and also by decreasing the redness and swelling seen in the inflammatory forms of acne.\n\n                + Antibiotics may be applied to the skin in the form of gels and lotions, or by way of pills. We now know that using a combination of 2 medications together may be very effective in treating acne. Using a topical antibiotic with topical benzoyl peroxide, for example, may prevent bacterial resistance to the antibiotic. Giving an antibiotic by mouth is often needed for acne that is more extensive, red, and tender.\n\n                + Antibiotics taken by mouth can be associated with more side effects than if applied to the skin and may interact with other medicines such as birth control pills. Sensitivity to the sun can result in a "bad sunburn" in some people who take the antibiotic tetracycline by mouth.\n\n          o Retinoids: Medicines made from vitamin A (retinoids) are useful in treating several types of acne lesions. Topical retinoids are effective in treating the noninflammatory types of acne (blackheads and whiteheads).\n\n                + Topical retinoids (applied directly to the skin) help to open clogged pores by creating a mild peeling effect. Drying of the skin can be a frequent side effect. Oral retinoids are reserved for treating the more extensive nodular type of acne or severe inflammatory acne, which has not responded to other treatments. Oral retinoids not only have a peeling effect but also decrease the production of oil.\n\n                + They can also be associated with a number of serious side effects including birth defects in babies of wome

The most effective products I have used are a combination of salycylic acid medication (stridex wipes/pads) plus a benzoyl peroxide cream (Clearasil daily acne control cream). This has helped clear my acne symptoms. \nI had to see a dermatologist in the past, though, because sometimes acne can turn into an infection...w/ the redness and inflammation symptoms spreading to different areas of your face. He prescribed me a few things, one was an antibiotic to kill the infection that was causing the acne to spread. Just thought I'd add that in case you don't see an improvement from over-the-counter products. Good luck

Some solutions that may help cure acne are already in your home.\n\n1. If a pimple appears, don't break it immediately.\n2. Before you go to bed, wash your face (liquid cleansers work the best and do not overdry your face).\n3. Pat dry.\n4. If you have any type of mint toothpaste, dab a little on your pimple.\n5. Cover the spot with a small band-aid.\n6. By morning, the swelling should go down and the redness should be almost gone.\n7. For extreme breakouts, there are many over the counter face cleansers. \n\n* All acne medications cause your skin to break out more than when you started because the cleansers are cleaning out your pores and bringing all the dirt and oil to the surface which in turn causes a massive break out. Give it about two weeks and you will notice a big difference in your skin.\n* Avoid eating lots of sugar as sugar causes outbreaks most of the time.\n* Drink lots of water. \n\n* Do not use too many different types of acne medication at the same time. It can cause more irritation and more acne than when you started.

If you have a doctor, see if he will prescribe ProActive. However, if you want to save money, wash your face at least 3 times a day with a good astringent. Wash first in hot water to open the pores, cleanse with an astringent and rinse in warm water. Then Rinse your face again with cold water to close the pores. This works well, but it will take a little while to clear the blemishes up. My daughter has this problem, and she does what I suggested, and her face is clear now. Try not to use hair spray, because it clogs your pores. Another thing my daughter uses is a mud facial masque, it's by Helene Curtis, not really expensive. She puts it on before she goes to bed, (you're supposed to wash it off after 15 minutes) but she leaves it on all night and washes it off when she gets up. Good luck!

Actually there are tons of products - just find one that works good for you proactive, acne pads or whatever works.  \n\nActually, a trick I've used for a while is that after I clean my face, (if I have a zit), I'll put \na little toothpaste on it.  I'll keep it there overnight, and in the morning it dries it out.  It works really good!  I don't think popping them is the greatest idea, because sometimes those things aren't ready to come out, and it can cause scarring (like little pock marks).  So try out a few remedies and see which one works best for you.\n\nGood luck!

Have you ever tried Proactiv? It's a really good acne medicine, and I use it every day and have perfectly clear skin. You can order it online, I'm pretty sure. \n\nWhen I wash my face, I use a tea tree oil based face soap. Tea tree oil is really good because it helps prefent zits (don't be worried because it's  "Oil". It's not the same as the so-called bad oil that gives you zits. Tea tree oil gets rid of them!)So try to find a tea tree oil based face wash (not body wash), which can be found at health food stores. It totally works.\n\nSo that, along with proactiv, is what I use to keep my face clear. Hope this helps, good luck!!!

use tea tree oil. I used to have major breakouts but since I used tea tree oil every time I have a pimple. It dries it and doesn't leave a mark. But if your having major acne try going to a health store and ask if they have supplements to clear acne. It's expensive but worth it. But if you are on a budget you have to undergo a major diet and eliminate/minimize food that causes acne. And always drink lots of liquids (water and fresh juice) everyday for proper circulation

There are a lot of things that can help cure acne, but the few I rely on most are:\n-Drinking lots of water and tea...instead of soda or juice\n-Washing your face a lot\n-After making a cup of tea, take the used teabag and "wash" your face with it (I don't know if this actually does anything, but I keep hearing it does...and it doesn't hurt to try)\n-Put toothpaste on your zits

Yes, as lookingdabest mentions, I've heard of ProActive as being helpful, too.  I, however, have had no first hand experience with it.  Other than doctor prescribed Tetracycling, which has been helpful for me, I've been looking very seriously into something called "Zeno".  I've attached the link.  This device supposedly treats acne one pimple at a time, but makes them almost disappear in 24 hours.  Too good to be true?  I'm researching this over and over.

the only way to get rid of it is with products. you can  wash your face more but that might dry out your skin.  It took me awhile of experimenting to find the right products that got rid of my acne, kept me from breaking out and did not dry me out everyone is different

Depends on your skin.  Vitamin E is good for removing blemishes but you should go see a dermatologist.
