It wasn't until I tried my sister's drugstore pick that I discovered the answer to my acne problem. Clearasil Stubborn Acne Control 5-in-1 Daily Facial Cleansing Pads ($7) sit on my vanity now, and I use them religiously every night.
These little circular pads contain 1.9 percent salicylic acid, which unclogs pores and dissolves the unwanted gunk you're dealing with. I use one every single night after I wash my face. All I do is wipe the pad over my problem areas and let it dry for a few minutes before I lay down or touch my face. My skin never gets too dried out or itchy from this formula, which is something I have struggled with in the past.
Clearasil promises that this miracle product will reduce excess oil and shine, unblock pores, even out your skin tone, remove dirt, and exfoliate for smoothness. I can tell you that it does all that and more. Not only do my pimples clear up rapidly, but my skin is also firmer and glowing.
