Any advice for getting rid of a stubborn pimple quickly?

[Anonymous]

I have a very good skin care routine and usually my face is clear, but I can feel a big like HUGE pimple starting and it's located just under my lip too...how great!

Anyway...I have been usually really strong treatments on it, but it still hasn't come to a "head".

I want it to go away!

Any proven products/techniques to get rid of a stubborn pimple?

I used to have acne really bad so I always bought pro-activ. Now that my skin has cleared up I don't need the whole system. But I always keep the refining mask handy for problems like this. You just put it on the one spot. When I do this it never even comes to a head, it is smaller by the next day and usually completely gone within two or three days. Go to your local mall and grab some. It's like 12 bucks and it lasts forever.

Thanks...i actually use proactiv....and I do like the refining mask, but it has never worked that well for me....i am going to give it another try though!

I've had the best results when I get my face a little damp, put it on then let it dry for like 15 minutes until it hardens, then wash it off.

you could try tea tree oil. It stinks but it seems to work.

It can very easily eat plastic as well.

I've never heard that..... It's used as an anti-septic for the skin....
