Try putting toothpaste (paste, NOT gel) on your face, cover it with a bandage, and keep it on all night. When you wash it off in the morning your acne will look better. The astringent and surfactant nature of the toothpaste will help diminish the appearance of pimples. But the toothpaste has been known to burn sensitive skin of the face, so be careful. If your face does burn, stop acne treatments and work on healing your burn.
Try using Bentonite Clay, a natural mineral powder which has been known to absorb impurities and help neutralise the skin’s oiliness, and can be found online. Mix 2 tablespoons with a dash of cold water and smooth over the face as a thick paste. Once dried gently wipe off with a flannel or sponge.
Another way to zap pimples is shaving cream. Apply it to your pimple and it will dry it up. It disappears by morning, but washes your face after waking up. If nothing is working for you, drink four tablespoons of apple cider vinegar diluted with water daily. It works very well for some people and is worth a try. Another good solution is aloe Vera gel fresh from the plant, taken orally.
You can also try taking a zinc tablet everyday.
tc…
There are heaps of creams on the market that claim to help remove acne scars, such as ZenMed (see link below) – comes with 60 day money back guarantee too.
There are also natural home remedies that you could try as well (see link below).
Alternatively, you could try microdermabrasion or laser treatment therapy.
There is this new popular cream that people have been talking about.
It prevents future and existing acne, diminishes scars, and lightens skin and blemishes. Fast results too! (It’s been claimed that major results can be seen within a week and no later than two weeks)
Before and After photos are available at the given ebay site.
This person is providing 1-3 week trial samples (Only for ONE DOLLAR.. definitely a deal) on ebay at:
Search up "Cee En’s Acne Solution" on ebay.
First 100 customers can get the item for $1 for one week trial and up to 3 weeks. Or you can purchase 1 month supply for $40 or 6 month supply for $160
It’s expensive, but the product DOES work.
My sister and cousin who both have major acne have tried the product and they both give it thumbs up. I have also heard many great feedbacks about this cream.
I don’t have a problem with acne, but it seems to have great results on my sister who has moderate to severe acne. Her acne swelling went away overnight.
check the seller’s feedbacks on the cream
I hope this helps. =)

At a dermatologist’s office, they often use micro dermabrasion to scrub off the outer damaged portion of your skin, and stimulate the production of newer and healthier skin cells. Over time, this can significantly reduce the appearance of your scars or even erase them completely. If you don’t have the kind of money to make several trips to the dermatologist, there are several at home micro dermabrasion kits on the market these days. My favorite is Anew Advanced Micro Dermabrasion System.
To keep your skin well hydrated, go with a rich moisturizing cream at night and a high quality sunscreen containing lotion during the day. Sunscreen is extremely important when trying to heal scars, as UV damage will interfere with proper healing and even darken existing marks.
To speed up the fading process, you can add a vanishing cream to your skin care regimen. Many companies produce high quality creams these days, so there are plenty of options out there for you. Look for a cream containing soy, stearic acid, potassium hydro-oxide and glycerin.
