There's never a good time for a pimple to pop up, which is why fast-acting acne treatments are key. There are a ton of awesome options, but treating the zit head on is one of the best ways to handle breakouts. Yes, pun intended.
1. This Clearasil Rapid Action Treatment Cream uses benzoyl peroxide to kill the bacteria that causes acne.
2. Sticker patches like these Acne Pimple Master Patch from Cosrx suck up the gunk that causes white heads to form overnight. So when you wake up, the breakout is flatter– AKA much more manageable.
3. Instead of using harsh chemicals, this Spot Treatment from Osmia Organics uses a potent blend of essential oils like lavender, lemon and cypress, to rid skin of zits.
4. While blue light helps to penetrate the skin, red light reduces inflammation. Meaning this drugstore tool, the Neutrogena Light Therapy Acne Treatment, uses both light therapies to calm down angry breakouts in minutes.
5. Effaclar Duo Acne Treatment comes from a favorite French drugstore brand, La Roche-Posay. It uses benzoyl peroxide as well as Lipo-Hydroxy Acid to both target imperfections and exfoliate the skin, leaving you with a super smooth complexion.
