How to deal with ACNE and PIMPLES!

This isn't really a treatment for the source of acne, but I thought I would post it in this thread as a PSA rather than start a new thread.

I did something today I've never done before. I went to MAC to buy makeup. I got an acne blemish on my nose and had a presentation to do and admittedly, it made me self-conscious. The pimple wasn't going to go away quick enough, so rather than look like Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer, I marched into MAC and asked if they had anything that I could use to cover up the redness on my nose.

Not only did they have something I could use, the girl applied it to my face, blended it perfectly and even offered to just give me samples of everything she used rather than make me buy anything. I wanted to reward her for her time so I bought the concealer. It wasn't that expensive. But if any of you are ever facing a big date or something like that, and you've got a blemish you need covered over, just know that you can march over to the cosmetics counter and get a quick fix.

The experience did make me realize just how powerful makeup is. I used to think women had such amazing skin. Now I realize that a small dab of concealer can work miracles.

P.S. You might get some odd looks from the female customers (I did), but who cares?

That sounds like a really great tip actually

i would seriously consider doing that if i had a bad outbreak just before a date or target rich night out.

Along similar notes --- I read somewhere that Preparation-H (the stuff for hemmoroids might help) because it reduces the redness.

After 1 month of applying JT's formula of salicylic acid and Benzoyl Peroxide, I am deeply satisfied with the formula and would recommend it to anyone.

Product used:
1. Clean and Clear facial wash containing Benzoyl Peroxide 5%
2. Clean and Clear Moisturizer containing salicylic acid 0.5%
3. Clean and Clear Acne spot treatment containing Salicyclic acid 5%

#1 is a very strong product, but i feed very good because the stinging makes me feel that its killing the acne bacteria.
#2 is a moisturizer and prevented my skin from over drying and become itchy
#3 Spot treatment is the best. Its a small tube that contains a cream and you apply the cream on the acne. It stings like hell.

This is how you use it:
During shower, apply 1 and 2. After shower, use 3.

Before I applied JT's formula, I had acne breakouts everywhere on my face, especially on the area below the frames of my glasses (the area left and right to your eyes). Now, they are totally gone. I want to post some pictures here, but don't really want because of privacy.

Anyways, highly recommend JT's formula!
