I have acne prone skin, and its somewhat been clearing up... except for around my lips :o I wash my face 1-2 times a day, and have tried honey as a spot treatment. Any ideas? Thanks ladies :)

You can use apple cider vinegar as a spot treatment at night as well. it works wondrous! (:

My favorite spot treatment is Burt's bees acne solutions spot treatment it realy works for my pimples and acne also it's from a drugstore so it's fairly cheap.

You should try tea tree oil as spot treatment. It's amazing!

Tea tree oil definitely. Avoid touching that area or picking them. Also I don't know your diet...but drink plenty of water!!

Search 5 percent benzoyl peroxide that's what I use and I use to have horrible break outs that cleared it up

I actually have this problem too with black heads along my lip line. I started rubbing a tiny amount of toner over that area every night after cleansing and I haven't seen one since. I use the rapid clear toner by Neutrogena.

Is Benzoyl peroxide better than salycilic acid? I have a facial cleanser with salycilic acid, should I switch? @Baylee I used an Apple cider vinegar toner and it seems to be making a difference, thanks!
