I've heard that toothpaste can dry out pimples, but it can also burn your skin (personal experience lolol). Potato slices can also help, but you have to use them daily. But if you, like me, have NO PATIENCE for these things, I recommend a spot treatment or acne lotion from Burt's Bees. It's slightly pricier, but Burt's Bees's products are usually really good quality and works too. If your acne is really flaring up, look for a spot treatment with more salicylic scid (i think that's the ingredient). However, everybody's skin is different. I used a product with 10% of that ingredient, and it didn't work as well as one with only 1%, which I found strange bc my face breaks out really awfully sometimes. Good luck!

i used to get those horrible purple scars too... the good news is that they do go away!
I used to just use clean and clear soap twice a day and it took care of itself :)
Acne is a fact of life... another option you have is to see a doctor... at 14 my mum had me put on Minocin MR and it helped massively. Later when I was still getting some, they put it down to hormones and popped me on Dianette which is a mini pill but not a reliable contraceptive :)
I used to have really horrible acne. I had to take anti biotic pills prescribed from my doctor and after six months of taking one each day my face began to clear up, so that's a suggestion.
I washed my face with soap. Ate less chocolate and similar sweets.
