I just learned this and it works makeup artists use it a lot of the time break open an Advil and rub the affected area with the blueish green liquid use Advil liquid gels.

Don't use toothpaste because it will cause your pimples to scab, making them almost impossible to cover up. green concealer would be your best bet for a quick fix, to get rid of them I would try a spot treatment from clean and clear called the terminator. you'll have clearer skin in 8 hours. keep your face, hands, and cell phone clean!

Dab on hydrogen peroxide on the zits the night before, then in the morning, apply your foundation, then mix green concealer with your foundation so it matches :)

Brittany is correct. Advil! Don't use tooth paste.

I use a product called persa gel 10...it's the highest concentrate of benzoyl peroxide available OTC...but it's very drying so use it sparingly only on pimples not the whole face...it reduces my bumps by half over night and dries them out completely in 2 days
