Complexion Perfection: Fight Acne and Hide Pimples Like a Pro

Blackhead treatments

Sweat and dirt can bring on breakouts, but that's no reason to bench your workout. Instead, try these skin-saving solutions from top dermatologists to zap zits for good.

Pimple Problem: Blackheads That Won't Budge

Clear Fix: Those dark dots, often found on your T-zone, "can be precursors to pimples," says Francesca Fusco, MD, a dermatologist in New York City. The oil in the pore attracts bacteria. Dead skin can further clog the pore, causing a whitehead. At night, sop up sebum and exfoliate with a pad presoaked in glycolic or salicylic acid.

What to Use: Glotherapeutics GloClear Complexion Pads ($34, gloskincare.com). Or use a mask that contains both ingredients (we like Dr. Brandt Pores No More Vacuum Cleaner, $45, sephora.com).

Something a little less expensive is the Neutrogena Blackhead Eraser. It comes with the little pads and it works wonders for blackheads AND pimples.

I Disagree as I used to use the clear pore strips and I didn't like them. The presoaked pads are much better for clearing the pimple.
