    Niacinamide face cleansing pads are effective and simple way to keep acne away. Just place a pad on the pimple and watch it fade away. Lavender Oil helps prevent skin drying.

    Niacinamide pads are also known as Vitamin B3 pads or Nicotinamide pads.

    Give them a try and you will be pleasantly surprised.

    1. Apply a spot treatment that contains either benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid. Make sure not to over apply as you don't want to create peeling flaky skin. Just a tiny bit on the head of the pimple should work fine.

    2. You can use a cold compress on the pimples which will reduce the swelling and redness. This will also be helpful for those pimples that are "brewing" under the skin.

    3. If these easier treatments are not working, then you can apply a sulfur mask that can be found at most stores. Read the directions and see if it for spot treatment of for your whole face.

    4. Get in to see your dermatologist or etestian. They may be able to zap it or inject it with cortisone, depending on the degree that the pore is infected.

    5. Make sure you don't pop the pimple! Oh, I know this is hard, but let your body do what it is naturally inclined to do! When you pop a pimple you just open it up for more bacteria and make the healing process that much longer. Instead, try number one and/or two above first.
