It's a universal agreement: grown-ups shouldn't have to deal with acne! And since grown-ups get to do whatever they want, check out this list of products that are proven to clear up skin!

Well all of us at one time or another get a pimple and need to keep something in the beauty drawer for just such occassions.
I've tried the sample of Effaclar AI from La Roche-Posay which is an intensive acne spot treatment to help control and correct breakouts plus helps prevent residual skin marking.
So that is what is setting this product aside from a traditional benzoyl peroxide acne medication. The Stidex pads of old have the similiar ingredient to help control breakouts, BUT Effaclar AI has a micro-exfoliating ingredient LHA to help minimize the brown red scarring usually accompanied by a pimple.

That blotchy mark is calling card of the pimple and not appreciated at all!

If you do have a pimple, remember not to pick it. Simple steam your skin til it is soft, using a warm wash cloth, apply pressure to the top side of the pimple and gently wipe/press downward so the sebum will be pressed out on the underside of the pimple and leave a flap of skin to help heal the rupturing point.

Or, even better: visit your dermatologist for a professional extraction.
