Cetaphil is a product that is available in most grocery stores. I apply it to my face and let it dry and it works deep down to prevent and/or stop zits from surfacing.

I would also recommend that you review your diet and see if you are eating too much grease, salt, chocolate, or anything else that may irritate your skin.

Also, be sure you aren’t washing your face too much, which will dry it out and irritate acne. On another note, if you moisturize too much it will have the same effect.

Good luck!

you can’t eat bad foods.. like chips..ext.. i use brown sugar and some milk.. it makes a granny texture that helps for black heads.. and helps reaccuring acne.. then after i use the clearasil ultra ponds pads and they clean the poors after i use my mix.. so yeah don’t eat crappy foods.. it’s about diet as well as a good face wash

Toothpaste …is NOT the best choice all it does is DRY your skin… not the pimple. You can use it, but it will become very uncomfortable. Try not touching your face, keeping your hair out of your face, and washing it with…. Noxema, Clearasil, or anything like that twice a day. If and when they become a whitehead, do not squeeze them. Take a hot, but not burning hot, washrag to the affected area and let it sit there for at least 2 minutes and you should do this once a day until it is gone. If this does not help you can use Benzoil Peroxide containing products, such as Clearasil Total Control, or just plain out medicated acne gel from your local store like Wal-Mart or Target. If this does not work try going to a dermatologist. They can do much better than any homemade remedy.

I have been using Zenmed acne treatment product for about 3 weeks, this product is recommended by one of my friend. After two weeks I am starting to see results! I have noticed that my skin is getting gradually better. Overall, I can say Zenmed products is one of the best newer products on the market to defeat acne.

Zenmed system fights whiteheads, blackheads, and even the shiny appearance of acne prone skin. Recommend this product to many of my friends. Try it once and see the difference…
