Bye Bye, Blemishes!

Don't you hate it when you wake up to a tender, red bump that's sure to turn into an ugly pimple? There are plenty of products on the market to get rid of blemishes when they appear, but what about preventing them before they form? Fortunately, you can treat the pre-formed pustule before it makes it way to the surface. We tried a slew of different products to discover which ones really work.
