Anyone have any magic "zap that troublesome zit" cures?

I've got that one (you know when we all get that one) that just won't go away!

I love benzoyl peroxide gel (currently using 5%) for preventing/treating zits. For more info, try going to acne.org.

veronica

salicylic (sp?) acid

a dab of tea tree oil

For really horrible ones that won't go away, I dab toothpaste on it. The redness and irritation is usually gone the next morning. Toothpaste should only be used in an emergency, but it does work.

A paste made from a dissolved aspirin works every time for me. Dab on thickly, wait for it to dry, then rewet it and gently exfoliate with it and rinse.

If it's a really big mother, I might have to do this a few nights in a row.

Apple Cider Vinegar. Just dab it on before you go to bed with a cotton ball soaked with it.

KurlyKarenLee

A dab of 10% Benzoyl-Peroxide mixed with a dab of Neosporin.

GeminiLeslie

A dab of pure vitamin E oil right on the pimple.

I also use a dab of Queen Helen Mint Julip mud mask
