1. A set of patches you can slap right over your pimple and go about your day while the hydrocolloid pulls out impurities and reduces the size of your blemish. And let's face it, they're so adorable you might be tempted to put one on even when you don't have a breakout.
2. A fast-acting anti-acne cream with some seriously impressive before-and-after photos from Amazon customers. Its blend of tea tree oil and bentonite clay will treat zits and control oil so you stay matte and breakout-free. That's what I call a win-win.
3. A drying paste that spells game over for any bumps you need erased immediately. Simply dot it on your pimples and let the mixture of sulfur, bentonite, and kaolin clay work its magic to diminish spots and unclog your pores.
