I've used toothpaste on a pimple. It worked, sort of... Well it made the redness go down at least.

I have to take actual medication for my acne now (mine was real bad. And I mean bad), but I've tried lots home remedies. Once I used something with vinegar and baking soda. It just dried out my skin though.

The medication(pill form) Doxycycline and the medication(topical cream) Epiduo, i have found excellent results from these just weeks after i visited the dermatologist.

-Final Fear

When I had bad acne, I actually found something at walgreens that worked really well called Nature's Cure. They have it for both guys and girls, and it usually helps overnight (at least it did for me).

I have the ability to keep extremely clear skin even though I sometimes wear a lot of makeup. All I do is I make sure I put lotion on before any foundation.
Before I go to bed I'll take the makeup off with makeup removal wipes, then follow up with Neutragena cleansing whipes to take any excess dirt off.
In the mornings when I'm in the shower I'll wash my face with the Clean and Clear morning burst cleanser. I love that one because it makes my skin feel uber soft and fresh. xP

Holy crap I can't even comprehend this :p
But I noticed your skin does look very nice

I've been using proactive, i bought one box of it and they kept sending it so i have probably a 5 month supply haha. It works pretty good.

Proactive was banned places because it tends to leave excessive scarring.
And yes, I do have nice skin. XP Everyone thinks I airbrush photos but I just wash my face like that and it turns out that way. xP

LOL probably why they shipped me 5 cases!!

I'm kinda like Zubat, I have decent skin, cleansing pads at night and face wash in the morning. I don't wear a lot of makeup though and I've never had too much of a problem!

I used to geta reasonable ammount of acne. I found the best solution was to eat plenty of vegetables and fruit, drink plenty of water and two beautiful natural oils that me and a bunch of friends use. Flaxseed Oil and Evening Primrose Oil. This technique does the job for me.

For people like me, who mainly have breakouts (not all over the face but in certain areas from time to time), I find that the blue loreal face wash (the one with the scrub thing) Sorry I've forgotten what it's called, works really well and stops me getting spots

i use oxy10, does wonders. it dries your skin though for like the first few days then back to normal, and all my pimples were gone. no lie.

and if you cant find oxy10, get something with benzoyl peroxide

I used to do the whole proactive treatment when I had it worse, but not I only have the occasional breakout...I just use the face wash part and that's about it. I tried the toothpaste thing a few times on larger pimples and it did usually tame them down over night, but there isn't any real miracle remedy.

Pure aloe works wonders for acne and skin problems. There's this shampoo that doubles as a face wash, called, and the active ingredient is aloe. Pure peppermint oil is also a good natural solution for pimples when they do pop up. Just put oil on the pimple and the redness and swolleness goes down over night.
