How do i get rid of acne fast and cheap?
Question by Kayla Ahuna: How do i get rid of acne fast and cheap?
Prom is coming up and my pimples have multiplied in number. I have tried every face wash, from clearasil to proactive, over the counter to prescription, and i still have really bad acne. I tried the toothpaste one and that worked for a while, but now no longer does. So does anyone have any easy cheap and fast ideas to get rid of acne?

But acne takes months to clear and sometimes longer. My acne greatly improved with the “regimen” but that had to be at least 6 months. If your intent to appear zit-free for prom, I would just apply some make-up. Make sure it would clog your pores. I like almay’s smart make-up and Neutrogena’s skin-clearing make-up. It’s a quick fix for now, but you can be patient while finding the right treatment for you without damaging your skin. If you acne is moderate to severe,. you may want to go to a dermatologist (it would have saved me a lot of heartache). If your acne is light to moderate, then, over-the-counter products will be sufficient.
I would also look into Olay’s regenerist line for helping to exfoliate your skin and moisturizing (very important).
Also, try increasing your water uptake. Try adding a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar or a lemon wedge to one glass a day. Water is important for your body to function and the vinegar may help with a slight pH balance, although the science is unfounded.
The best and cheapest I found is the Zap That Zit Program.
After 4 days the pimples were gone and now I am now on the maintenance program and have not had a pimple in 5 months!
