Bye-Bye Blemish!
Pimples are the worst. Wake up with a big ugly zit and it can totally ruin your day. Pick at it, and you'll ruin your skin. An oily complexion can be just as infuriating. All your makeup slides off seconds after putting it on and you spend the entire day looking like you washed your face in a deep-fat fryer. If you're totally fed up with bad skin, we're here to help. Read our Acne 101 to get your skin problems solved by a dermatologist, and check out our favorite acne-fighting products.
Benefit Buh-Bye! Blemish Control, $21
Can Zaparella, Benefit's cartoon character with zit slaying powers, make fighting acne fun? Her gloppy green cream works wonders when you dab it on a spot and let it dry overnight. The wild color means you'll remember to wash it off in the morning, too!
Joey New York Blackhead Remover and Pore Minimizer Gel, $21
Wipe on, wipe off. This wonder-potion manages to remove blackheads, shrink large pores, and absorb excess oils in one minute flat! The active ingredients are fruit acids, which also help improve your skin's health and appearance.
Clean & Clear Oil-Absorbing Sheets, $5
For five bucks, you'll get 50 of these little sheets. They instantly soak up excess oil and remove shine from your face, without smudging makeup or leaving behind cakey powder. Pop them into your bag and use whenever you feel a grease attack coming on.
Neutrogena Oil-Absorbing Natural Clay Acne Mask, $6
Just because you suffer from acne, it doesn't mean you can't pamper your skin. This clay face mask contains benzoyl peroxide, which fights the bacteria that can cause blemishes, plus it cleanses blocked pores. Wear with your hair in a towel and cucumber slices on your eyes.
Aveeno Acne Treatment Bar for Oily, Acne Prone Skin $3
Thought you couldn't wash your face with plain old soap and water? Well, you can with this acne treatment bar. It leaves your face fresh and clean, but the acne-fighting ingredients also help you to stay zit-free.
