drying gel

If you're looking for a good drying gel for pimples, a few popular options include Mario Badescu Drying Lotion, COSRX Acne Pimple Master Patch, and La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo Dual Action Acne Treatment. Mario Badescu Drying Lotion is a pink sediment-based product that targets and dries out pimples overnight. COSRX Acne Pimple Master Patch is a hydrocolloid patch that absorbs oil and pus while protecting the pimple. La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo contains benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid to unclog pores and reduce blemishes.

You get dark marks after your pimple goes away. Your skin releases melanin, or skin pigment, in response to acne inflammation. You can try tretinoin only if you're consistent to using it and applying sunscreen everyday. Neutrogena and azclear are a more gentle option. You can also buy a salcylic acid or benzoyle peroxide face wash, wash for 1 minute and leave it on for 1 min then rinse.
