How do I get rid of acne within a week?
School ѕtаrtѕ іn 8 days аnd I wουld lіkе tο gеt rid οf mу acne. I hаνе oily skin аnd hair. I hаνе large, painful cysts οn mу back аnd many scars οn mу chest. I don’t know whаt I hаνе οn mу face, bυt іt’s itchy аnd a lot less painful thаn mу back.
8 days, nοt three! I dο wash mу face, twice a day. I shower daily.
Oh yeah, thеу′re stress induced. A lot hаνе gone away ѕіnсе school еndеd.


Get good sleep. Stress increases your skin’s oiliness, which, combined with sweat and dirt, can clog pores and cause pimples. (Change your pillowcase frequently.)
Acne medications may cause your skin to initially break out worse than before because all FDA-approved acne medications (benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, and sulfur) are causing your skin to regenerate faster. This brings existing acne pimples already under your skin (but not visible yet) to the surface, which in turn causes a massive but fortunately temporary break out. Give the medications time to work — about one to two weeks — and you will notice a big difference in the quality of your skin.
See a dermatologist if over the counter remedies do not work. They specialize in skin care and can prescribe you medicines that help you improve it.
Drink plenty of water. Staying well hydrated can help your condition improve, because the "waste management" control system in your body requires a lot of water to do its job. Without enough water, the body has difficulty removing some waste products efficiently.
Look for face washes which contain the active ingredient benzoyl peroxide. This is the key ingredient in some of the best face washes. use a 5-10% benzoyl peroxide of mild to moderate acne and 10% for severe.
Take Care…
try panoxyl
oo well idk about your back but on your face wash it like 3 times a day (normally id say 2 but since you want it gone in a week well..) and for the really big zits or red ones put toothpaste on them the old kind NOT the gel. umm dont touch your face that will cause more acne and keep all of your hair out of your face until you have school andd drink lots of water (water makes your skin look betterr) and dont put makeup on your face except eyes and lips is fine but avoid foundation and stuff. make sure you have a face wash that works really well for you. good luck (:
Well, one thing is to wash your face every night before you go to bed, in the morning, whenever you get back from something you did that made you sweat, or made you dirty, so on and so forth. Some expensive products work well, but can take a while, and a little too much effort to use. Some natural remedies i use are benzoyl peroxide and aloe. I’m not sure if this works for everybody, but I think natural is the best way to go.
It’s impossible to get rid of it in 1 week. I would go to Target or any store and go to a face cleaning section. Try Acne Free or clean & clear. Or get some Proactiv. I also struggle with acne. Start using a product and use it every day twice a day. Eventually it will go away. You could also try putting on cover-up makeup over the zits. Another trick would be to take a hot rag and place it where the pimples are. It gets the gunk out of it and decreases the size. Good luck! :]
nelsons acne gel .. very strong, but reduces the bump and soreness within 2 days . i’d use it if u have cystic acne!
baking soda works great for me! i hope it helps u!
Dont wash your face three times a day, that will over irritate your skin. Wash it twice a day. You cant clear it up in three days, trust me. You should have been responsible and not waited 8 days before school starts to wash your face.
oxy shrinks them in like 2 days
i have some of the Home Remedies for pimple/acne :
1. Use Tomato, which has vitamin A. Vitamin A is good for our skin.
2. Your skin needs water to keep the skin plump, remove toxins and build new skin cells. Drink at least 80 ounces of filtered water a day.
3. Cucumber is one of the refreshing treatments used for the treatment of acne.
4. The sandalwood and rosewater blend can be used as a facial mask.
i get many info about pimple/acne from this blog, http://lets-get-rid-of-pimple.blogspot.com/
go to your dermatologist and ask about accutane. they’re really strict about handing it out because it causes birth defects but it does get rid of acne. Its a 5 month process and after that I no longer had acne again, another medication to try out is epiduo, i use it and in 1 day the pimple is gone. of course this is after i used accutane so my acne is now less severe. yours sounds severe so you should definitely try accutane
