Does anyone have a good zit remedy? It's for that one big one that pops up every *month*

I've tried over the counter stuff but does anyone have a tried and true method that will take it down over night or within a day or two?


Why do they always pop up when you have some big presentation or something!!?? Boo hoo

Criosphynx

hahahaha...you too eh??

What type of skin do you have?

allison

Complete T-Zone!

Forehead, nose, chin and upper cheeks WAY oily... lower cheeks SOOOOOO dry.

Think back to my makeup thread... that is why I wear NO makeup at all on my face.

UGH!

Proactiv has worked great for me. I was the type to get a good one about the same time every month....joys of being female.

if its just that one that pops up..try toothpaste

sometimes it works , sometimes it doesnt.

jbray01

allison

lol... I'm sure my husband will love it when I come to bed with a big glob of colgate on my chin! LOL

To prevent this, I have never had any acne because I basically wash my face with this apricot scrub in the shower every day, its St. Ives.

It gets off all that dead skin and makes your face feel fresh and smooth the second you wash it off.

allison

I used to use that when I was younger (I would steal my mom's lol). It used to work GREAT for me! But then all of a sudden, not so much anymore. It used to make my face soooo soft! My skin is stupid and tempermental...

Pepper

They have new formulas now.

They have kinds with medicine, and a lot of other kinds! My mom uses the medicine kind, but that kind makes my skin burn and not nice, I just use the regular kind, it hasn't stoped working unless I forget to use it for like a week.

Apple cider vinegar works on zits....stings like crazy, but it dries them right up.

jbray01

i used to use st. ives all the time and it didnt work for me...

i just switched to dove face wash and its awesome!!!

Criosphynx

I use the clean and clear "morning burst" its a bright orange scrubbeee face soap. The best one i've ever used was a similar product but it was made by Avon.

hahah i used that stuff once and it pretty much removed the skin on my face. I think i scrubbed too hard.

Pepper

LMAO!

Yeah that's what the kind with ACID does to me....Why would you make a product with acid in it!?!?!?!!!!!! lol

allison

OK Pepper, I went and bought the apricot wash again... I'll try once more.

If I am one big zit tomorrow, I can blame you lol *hugs*

Pepper

lol..*hides* I mean...Don't forget to take pictures..I mean!! Jeez I just can't get it right today!!

MyCharlie

Proactiv is all that works for me. I don't have a ton, but it's always like 1 here, as that clears up, another one there. Arggh.

And then my DH says, "you're old, you shouldn't get zits. You need to see a doctor about that." Stupid men! LOL And I'm not THAT old, I'm only 34. Geeesh.

So what do you do with the toothpaste or ACV, just dab it on before bed?

allison

OK so I tried the toothpaste... 2 things happened....

1. Ozzy came up to me while I was sleeping and licked my face... LOL
2.After I reapplied, the smell of it on my face made me kinda sick-ish so I had to clean it off.


Pepper... I got some of that apricot stuff to try again... dare I say that I like it???? We'll see *knocks on wood*

MyCharlie... OLD? pffft! Tell him to shove it!

Criosphynx

toothpaste has never worked for me.

I always forget its one me. So it ends up on my hands or in my hair.
